ME Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah, I would add lots of skirts and spoilers, it will not only make the thing go MUCH faster but will make her the envy of the Asian skinny beard / skinny sideburned Max Power readers.

Pastiebap Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 For Vauxhalls Courtaney's would be a good bet to get you sorted: http://www.courtenaysport.co.uk/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Remove the fuel injection and stick twin 40 DCOE Webers on-then put it on a rolling road to set it up.The carburettors alone are worth 30bhp (fuel injection is a compromise with economy,emissions and cost),but at full tilt your mpg will struggle to hit double figures.Decatted along with a stainless exhaust,K&N filter should add another 5-10bhp. After that-nitrous. That takes me back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconBoy Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 take the rollers,straighteners,blow dryer,hair dye etc etc out of the 'boot',give you another 10mph.then stick it on the back of some ****** tipper and send it to the scrappy,should do about 50/60mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Courtanys are brilliant. Get a nice Miltek or Remus pipe.....NO. Sell it and buy my 57 plate Astra VXR which I may have to sell as I had a promotion at work and now look like being a boring Mondeo or Mazda6 man !!
