Non turbo cars that are built properly are also wicked.
My 1 mate has vw fox that's around 136kw on the wheels and its non turbo and super reliable and quick.
So yeah im undecided:D
a decently built turbo car is also super reliable. I have had no major issues with mine ever.
and the sound get's your lots of attention LOOOOOOL!
Yeah the waste gate...Chicks dig that sound hey..lol:DQuote:

where did you get the suspension? price?
And what did you do with the brakes/hubs?
Mine now needs to have the head done, valves or sumthing is making a racket.
Hyundai's can make big power.
Was done by a friend of my dad. I'll get his details and pm it to you.Quote:

(I must admit my brakes don't last all that long):D
Must say though that the car is insanely tough!!
Takes alot of punishment!!
Yeah dude I know, a mate of mine had 1 exactly like mine and it pushed a 147kw at the wheels untill he hit a tree in kempton park..now it reaches 0-60km in about 20 sec on the back of a tow truck.Quote:

wanna know why they make huge power, and I mean really huge?
cause it's opel :)
all opel parts! My tuner only uses daewoo 16V heads in all his builds. His 400KW, my mates 264KW, my 153KW corsa, all daewoo heads.
and some other parts too!
That's true now that you mention it.Quote:

I've heard that opel and daewoo motors are compatible, eg the parts... ?
yes Daewoo bought all opels plans and stuff many moons ago. so their parts are 100% sharp hence me heaving a daewoo 16V head on my Corsa Gsi
Is'nt a T4/5 Turbo too big for the 1600 Elantra engine?
it is a bit big yes but it is bored out to 1800. remember ppl are running T66 turbo's off 2.0 so it's fine.
He WIIIIIIILLLL have turbo lag and lots of it, but once that boost comes in it will kick HARD
any suggestions? recaro / sparco?Quote:

You echo my sentiments exactly. The love of my life is the Skyline R34 V-Spec II. I however like the R35 too, but not as much :D.Quote:

Recaros/sparco's go for around 5K per seat in our fare country. and that's without the mounting brackets, sliding rails etc etc.Quote:

They usually sell for around R2000 a pair.
Look each to his own, and sometimes cheaper seats are very comfy etc etc, but cheaper seats are just that, cheap, and they look the part, wich is cheap.
Man if you buy the seats pull on in one day when me and Pyro and the lot are lanning and we will isntall them for you quick quick.
ag comeon man whats wrong with living a little on the dangerous side of life :pQuote:

heh, I had a Corsa 1.6 GSi - 1st car I ever bought. 2 months afterwards I rolled it on loose gravel on the road coming back from CT :( I was amazed that neither myself or my boet had a single scratch on us afterwards. I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to have undergone all of that in a citi golf.
Anyway, I now have the 4 door 1.8 GSi ... it's very slow for it's engine size and doesnt feel nearly as nippy as the 1.6 2 door did. I must say that it's a heckload more comfortable inside & I absolutely love it for everyday driving.
I was shocked with the heavy fuel consumption on it though ... almost 10l/100km (A/C on) in town, but when i took it on the open road in the transvaal/freestate it was sitting on 6.4l/100km with A/C on.
yeah the Corsa C 1.8 Gsi is actually just a rebored 1.6 Gsi Engine, but the power increase was barely noticable. coupled with allmost 300KG more weight, and you can see why its not that nippy. BUt yeah it's a very comfy car.
Yup, I was a bit miffed about that.Quote:

EDIT: ye, my old one was 75kW, the new one 79kW. Plus with the added weight, it's rather sluggish compared to just about every other hatch. But I'm not a fan of speed so it's fine. Just wish the consumption for town driving wasn't so harsh.
yeah dude those cars just go and go and go and go
Thanks man nice of you, Will do that if i can conjure up R5k haha!Quote:

Probably the best seats I have ever owned.Sold them not to long ago to a guy on the dtm forum.
I agree with maplassie byuing cheap would be a stupid idea.
