    Decisions decisions!

    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
