Wee Jock Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Goin to take a trip along to Perth on Monday to see the lads at RA Motorsport, want to have a look at my old V-LTD 1996 WRX as I heard it is now a Saxo! Have a chat with the lads and see what mods they can do for me, thinking of a budget of £5k all to be spent on the enegine. Still want it to be able to pass an MOT without having to take zorst off and fit cat so that will be my main sticking point...... want 400hp plus. The wife is missing the old V-LTD.....so am I to be honest!
ciaranrb5 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Saw your old V-limited a while ago didn't look that bad was ashame to break. Spending 5k on engine only is never wise best sorting handling and brakes and once you can turn and stop properly do the engine. What car have you now?

What car have you now? 2007 Hawk with BC Coilovers, whiteline drop links all round, Prodrive rear ARB, Pagid Blue pads! 351bhp The wife is pig sick oor wee car is no more. I am to to be honest, what a thrill it used to be, the noise the popping and the banginging, the actuator making Steve Austin noises, the dump valve it was more like Anakin Skywalkers pod racer lol! Oh how I miss that car, must admit still looking at buying a fesh import classic and getting rid of the Hawk!
scooby222 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Andy and the boys will give you good advice Paul, sure theyl help you to 400+ shame its monday and im working or id have popped along and said hello
ciaranrb5 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 400 on your car should be easy 5k will allow you to do your breaks and do a safe 400 if not 450

Andy give you lots of ways to spend your cash? Aye trip went ok, fecking cold up there brrrrr! Only going to spend about £2.5k, just going for the bolt on options & remap circa 400bhp. They're doing a lot of good work, like the WRC bodykit on the Hawk, that will be one mean looking motor Will be interesting to see the Saxuru! Disapointed though, no KFC!
