Sikkk Sounds good! Will get some quotes on a 2nd car and see where it goes..
I was considering saving for an m3 next yr but fk that, I want to build a 2nd project car, something rapid and fun. Has to be a turby petrol hatch. The mega squirt imported from the states is decent value, around £200 i think?, and so I'm tempted to get one. seeing as i already have the 206 - its an ideal car to try to get to grips with ms on. With view to move onto a 6pot m52 Beemer in future.
The ma box is absolute bollocks but was to be expected as I pretty much bounced it off the limiter for 10k miles. That's the other problem, Id have to convert to a picasso be. bit of a faff. Same with dropping compression. I think i would try my luck on the standard engine with a thicker gasket if it worked. Engines a minter, only covered 50k. We've had it for nearly 7yrs. Been stood for 2 now. Bet all the bushes are forked! Slammed on its arse.
Do you know of any issues with heads lifting at that kind of boost? I think the 2259s should flow 250 but would have to keep revs down. I imagine past 250bhp is where shit gets expensive with aftermarket rods/pistons/fastners? I'd like to keep revs upto 7.5k and hit over 250bhp and strip down to about a tonne. Something fun to thrash really
but then it needs to eclipse the dturb so might it just be worth going Bimma.. Stock engines putting out 450 easy.
Cheers man
