sl you want a turbo so you can see the road from the boot?

shame about the lexus lights eh

if only the 1st vid was the same as the 2nd.

1st vid they need to learn how to drive and it doesn;t seem very quick to me at all.

2nd vid is slower than my blue 19 especially after the ton.

yours must be quick as feck then, and both of my 19's engines were shit, i know the second one was, that was sluggish as feck, but the 1st engine used to pull extremely well

no its not, its slow compared to my black hatch and slow compared to my blue hatch as well.

When I sort out the headgasket it will be quicker, probably back to standard.

But if that things claiming anything like 200bhp wheres it gone? There must be a leak!

I had alan, neal and JB in mine to 120 and it would have kept up with that!

u'd hav loved my wee 5 gtt all u heard was the air getting sucked in then dump as it bumped up throuch the gears, a bit like bens clio only without the dump!

im not too keen on dump valves, waste of time and money, and its not exactly original anymore isit!

Site Subscriber Joined: 13 Oct 2004 Posts: 4722

agree,

dont like that sound tbh, when ever i hear it all i can think is

"oh, chav."

*bollocks* wait till own a car with a d/valve then u'll c..........it's quite satisfying wen u fly past the "chav" thats just tried 2 waste u and then u dump right at his window........rather amusing i hav 2 say Exclamation

Dump valves are lush, one of my favourite sounds!

Can't really say they remind me of chavs. Not a lot of 'boy racers' have turboed cars do they?! Not a lot of 'em have engine sizes above 1 litre! The noise of a 25" exhaust connected to a 1 litre engine does however remind me of chavs Laughing

i agree with simonds, about the chavs having not more than a 1.2 round here, and the chrome m3 mirrors and stupid exhausts, i cant see the point in doing up a small engined car. main part of me geting the 19.

must admitt on the other hand wen i hear a really loud whoosh, u no the ones that u get on scoob's and evo's i do tend 2 look round

cant wait till this insurance shite is sorted so i can move up in the world and get my new car Evil or Very Mad

I always run turbo cars with a dump valve, depending on the management dictates wether or not its a recirculating or atmospheric one.

I like a turbo to last at least 100k of hard driving.
