awww he's got cushions does it come with a blanky to match?

[Alastair.]

theres one round my way, seriously quick little thing.

993cc

I sold my fairly standard (and fairly unloved by previous owners) GTti to enter into the world of Clios !

That is minty fresh !

 

[Addz]

Thats some power for a 1.0L! Bet it flys

Love these little beasts. Ive got the engine of one sitting in my garage as I'd love to drop it into a mini at some point. They can be as much as 200bhp with very little work. Daihatsu designed the engines really well and the were very much performance focused. The reason they settled on 993cc for instance was they worked out that a cylinder with a displacement of 330cc was the most effecient at producing power in a 4 stroke engine......useless fact I know. I'd love to see what one would produce if fitted with top quality pistons and rods. I'd bet 250+bhp.

That'll go bang soon!

Doubt it its been running this power for a few years

Showing your lack of actual motoring knowledge yet again

 

[Ali]

Fair play.

Looks quality mate! I can beleive that power output too. Like I say though, would love to see one with a full on forged motor as opposed to one thats just been rebuilt with a bigger turbo and better ancillaries. I wouldnt be a bit suprised if 300bhp/litre is possible if thatss the case with your mates car.

 

[Brown.]

A mate if mine crashed in one of these s**t boxes at 50 and lost a leg....build quality is 'A'

 

[Edd]

A car with the same engine capacity as Cinquecento with over 200bhp, that's unbelievable.

 

[Nafoff]

i knew when i saw the thread title it was going to be this one....very nice little car, suits our next issue very well

 

[Mr Burns]

My mate has one alot like that, awesome little car!

 

[Gaz.]

Awesome little cars.

 

[MaLicE]

always wanted one when i was younger lol! used to a guy with a black one on black rims round here used to go like mad, used to take the vacume feed off the actuator and run as much boost as he could before he got scared, engine never blew either!

 

[Robclio98]

Didnt know you knew jef. He lives just down the road from my girlfriends, he took me to the pod in it last year, The power of it is just crazy. However, he had it off the road for a few months after USC 09 as he blew the headgasket and had problems. Think he has put a smaller turbo on it now though. Awesome car and he really looks after it. ran 14.6 at the pod last time irrc.

 

[StevenMc29]

Bet that catches a few people out

 

[Naith]

not a big man of the cars looks and style but regardless of that the work and results are brilliant!

 

[Waitey]

There's one in our local skyline tuners. The owner wants 300bhp from it. 100bhp per 332cc cylinder! Mad.

 

[Sir_Dave]

They are ace!! I had the normal 1.0 Turbo 5dr for my 1st car

Housemate at uni had a Gtti running 180bhp, was highly amusing...

 

[_Tom]

I love them. I like the way the engine just looks to have had a piston cut off. Proper looking block for a 998.

Still id rather a starlet in this day and age for small engine power.

I like it though.

 

[john182rs]

A chap in Nottingham used to have one of these couple of years back, it beat literally everything on the road and around the circuit.
I would have had one but its a little too small for me.

 

[Daniel]

I've always ALWAYS wanted one of these!!
