2.0 turbo with "a few" mods, only the straight after the second "fade" in the video was flat out, rest was half throttle, and at that the flat out bit had the wheels slipping, I forget what the spec and power was at this point in the cars life, it wasn't at full power anyway, before I sold it it was at 330 bhp (380 with gas) and 1050kg
depends on spec at the moment mate. If standard. Cone and cold air box (NEED the box) , 2.5" dia Exhaust from turbo back inc turbo elbow, Manual boost controller set to 12psi (no more than 12.5 for certain safety) bigger front brake conversion from ZT180/620Ti , uprated suspension, that should see you good to start with and make the car a quicker braking, acceleration and cornering. After that lot a front mounted intercooler and T28 turbo from a GTi-R next, after that it gets expensive
well av gt an open cone filter on at the mo but that needs the bin coz its filfthy its gt ti brakes on an its a 12psi av gt 2.25 decat mid sec and a magnex back box lowerd 35mm to!
am looking at getting mongoose zorst think it 3" bore?
your car looks a beast out on the road am looking at t28 but cnt find intercooler anywer!
cheers mate, I sold this car a long time ago though, but yes it was a bit quick, 12.8 @ 114mph 1/4 mile and that wasn't at full power, 331 bhp, 296 lb/ft, 1050kg plus a 50 bhp shot of nitrous on top of that. Mongoose is 2.5" not 3", tailpipe is 3", bore 2.5, was a mongoose I had de-cat and cat back, custom front pipe from the same place that did the custom intercooler piping.
For intercooler get a 2nd hand GTi-R one, you'll need the one end tank and pipe attatchment rotated by an engineer then custom pipework to connect it up. 12psi is fine, if you replace the cone get a box, cone without a box is useless, just sucks in hot air.
not trying to be horrible or nothing nice sounding car but have u replaced the springs with wood or something car looks like its got no suspenion at all
sold the car a while ago, road in the vid was horrendous and suspension coped admirably, what did you want, 6 inches of travel and bouncy casel scenery? From a track car driven (albeit at about 50% potential) on thr rosd
why not? had done it's job and didn;t get the chance to use it much anymore. Had it 5 years and wanted a change, replaced it with a Skyline GTR which is a car I'd wanted for a while, rover went to a good home though and still going strong.
u have no idea how much i love this car. im not sure which model to get. im 19, and im looking for an unmolesterd 1. not sure if i want the 216SE, the 218VVC or the 220 (non turbo) i know the VVC is more powerful coz of its varible valve control but wat about insurance, can any1 help which coupe shall i get?
It's no bother at all, can be a bit skitty at the front of the road is uneven but nothing major. If yours is standard and jumping around then your suspension/tyres need looking at in my opinion. HTH.
Indeed, pretty crap surface but used to it around here, just have to take it east over the rough bits, nothing to be gained from going quick as the tyres just bounce and dont grip anyway.

The suspension will look much stiffer than it would feel like in real life on the camera.
Sounds nice and healthy :D

Koni -35mm kit, dampers and springs, adjustable dampers set to maximum stiffness front and rear, never had any issues with it.

Quite extensive, forged pistons, bigger turbo, cams, stripped out, etc etc, wasn't cheap but it goes well.
