even tho i haven't picked it up yet I'm already planning what to do with it. its a 2.0l CIH injection and i wanna get some more BHP out of her. I'm not sure weather to change the injection system for something a little newer and chip it or stick twin webbers on. it already has a performance exhaust on it so thats covered, its also had new electronic ignition put on so theres no problems there 2. ideas would be helpful. p.s. i haven't got the time to put a red cap in , as it will be an everyday car.

V8 Vauxhall turbo Zetec Lotus Carlton lump Big Block Chevy Flux capacitor quantum time drive.
All should fit with various levels of difficulty.

I prefer these headlights : Personally lower, wider arches, smoothed out (loose the rear wing, door handles etc.), not sure on the wheels.

i like the spoiler. it it was a coupe then no but i think it looks cool. i have a set of 2 inch lowered springs which i think would do it a bit of good. does anyone know of a turbo which would go or and whats peoples views on induction kits? i have never really looked at then before but have been told they help with the BHP

Or how about going completly off the wall, and fit a large capacity Turbo diesel? Economy and big power,a nd ooooooooodles of Torque.

Shave the body, lower it, plus one the wheels and tint the glass. Clear coat silver for the finish. Body shape looks good without distractions. Methinks a Chevy 305 or 350 might work well. Kind of looks like the Chevy Vega's good looking European cousin. IMHO

i think a red top will be going in over the winter time or a diesel does sound good, but i need it to use everyday and even tho we did the essy in a day i don't think this will be quite that simple. i looking for modding the engine i have at the moment. i think the filler will come out soon tho and I'm gonna smooth as much as i can off. i was thinking more of a matt or saturn black and maybe some flames!!! toy ;D ;D

It looks quite good already...I'd just slam it over some wide (7 or 8inch) 15s (BBS with black centres would be perfect). Job done.
