Hi All,

Just typed a big post for it all to disappear! Threaders.

I own this T-5R and am undecided about whether I keep it or move it on.

I bought the car on a whim and whilst I love the look of it I would like to upgrade the performance side of things. I seem to prefer older cars in terms of shapes but I do like how good modern cars are in terms of performance and solidity if that is a word!

How well would it compare if it was upgraded by someone who knows what they are doing with these cars?

It's not my first love as I have one of these which is in for a full resto but there is only so far I can go with it before it eats gearboxes!

Cheers in advance,

Dave.

in standard form it has 240 bhp, a simple remap, (there are a couple for sale on here) will get you 270/280 if you add small items like exhaust and intercooler, bigger turbo and you will be knocking on the 300 door and that is more than enough for most people

Love the 900 Turbo :)

But seriously, do as Neal says.
