quite nice u shud lower it 80mm if ur wheels are et35 it will work perfectly no arch rolling or nuffin
wat engine mods u got if ne i would advise i turbo timer and a boost controller cause as standard it can hold 16psi instead off the standard 8 which u get 200bhp at
wat sorta milage and history

it aint got a lot of engine mods only a group a dumo valve (bailys it came with was sh#t) and a gbe boost control and we've disconected the boost regulater vavle mileage wise its just clicked over 100000 and still going strong it been well looked after the last owner was my mates bird she couldn't insure it so never drove it... standard boost on these is 10.5 psi running mine at 8psi at the mo coz i've got a big hole in the downpipe waitin for a new one and me de cat to arrive then it will be back up to 12psi cant run them at 16psi coz they have a boost cut at 14.7 and even if you did remove that you'd fry your pistons hopefully go some o-series forged pistons and rods on the way they can take 23psi then get me big intercooler and away we go...
the oz's are off my corsa so whatever et they are but if i dropped it anylower it wouldn't make it up my drive...

300 bhp through the front wheels how does he get traction...
only just got mine so aint played with it yet if it becomes my second car then it will be going mental...
perspecs rear windows two seats totally stripped running silly power and meybe a little nos for those special occations...
but for now its quick enough...

yeah they are fun he copes poo for traction at over 3.5k revs in first setting off same in second but nethink over 30mph floor it and ur at 100 in no time his car eats supra non turbos and keeps with twin turbos but scoobies and evos are the same their no match
only had trouble with one car so far and that was a nissin micra
wat we didnt no was it was a 2l turbo and fast as f**k we had trouble keeping with it till 130mph then it we caught up and left it up to 170mph at banger straight at mondello park which is a 3mile straight drag track haha its fun
