Daft Lad

scoobie_eccosse

but ive just bought ma one just thought it woulb be a good project and see what happens lol

scoobie_eccosse

is there anythig else i can do to do then to make it a bit quicker

~DrEaM~

the amount of work + time + money is not worth it...
get a propper scoob m8..

and i am sure with a turbo'd 1.6gl your insurance wont like it

~DrEaM~

sell it, save up and buy a turbo version

Buster-WRX

is this real???

scoobie_eccosse

screw the insurance lol it was only 200 fully comp any way lol so what can i do to make it quicker if there is no point puttin a turbo on it till i can afford afull engine upgrade

~DrEaM~

so you dont declare your mods then??

Buster-WRX

Only two options as far as I can see -

1 - Apply a liberal amount of butter to all four wheels (margerine will work)

2 - find the edge of a cliff and...............

scoobie_eccosse

yea i declare ma mods its cos off ma no claims and ive ma advanced drivers liscence and that aint fair it may only be a 16 bt its still a scoobie come on guys lol

scoobie_eccosse

ha ha very funny doesnt matter what kind off scoobie any one has its still a scoobie

Yes it can be done, but it will cost more converting the engine (thats even if you could find a set of low comp pistons) than it would to stick a WRX lump in..

Save your pennies and buy a WRX or Turbo2000 when you're older/have more money.

scoobie_eccosse

i am older mate im 35 lol i was just thinkin wi allready havin the car just get another lump put in it

GazTheHat

You get turbo's for as little as £2k, although the condition is another thing. I agree with the others, it will cost a lot more to "tart" up the 1.6, than getting the turbo'd version, which you seem to want.

Dat is al da uverz r sayin

scoobie_eccosse

yea i would like the turboed but aint got the money the now and ive just put a set off minted 16"mcraes on it and 5" topgear back box how stupid do i now feel

Crosstalk

If it's a 1.6 is it 4WD or FWD? You'd be wasting your efforts trying to get more power into a FWD scooby.

This is a wind up!

[Davey]

Sorry no offence but your spelling, grammer and general persona suggest otherwise.

Bubba po

Oh dearie dear... I don't think it *is* a wind-up, I'm afraid. This is the kind of owner we're getting nowadays.

Its not just the engine that you have to change, you cant have that much power and use the standard suspension and brakes, you will end up crashing it in no time.

Martin2005

Why in gods name would you want to do that

Turbo 2000 bonnet with scoop + sprayed?
Impreza engine and gearbox?
Turbo 2000 4-pot brakes?
Turbo 2000 Suspension or aftermarket coilovers?
Turbo 2000 interior as the 1.6Gl ones wont support you when taking corners quicker?
+ Labour and fluids etc

Id say about £3000 at a guess to convert your 1.6 into a Turbo 2000! Like someone said before your better off selling your 1.6gl and getting a turbo 2000!

scoobfan

Yeah, Ask a Type R owner to tow ya !!!

For even suggesting converting a 16 scoob to a turbo people think you are an ****

Going ahead and doing it would make you the biggest **** ever to own a scoob.

Have some dignity man and save your pennies for the real thing

ben44

Just to clarify if this threads a wind up or not, I have a question.

Did you previously, within the last 2 weeks, own a blinged up Saxo? If you did, then fair play, the threads genuine and you are a tit.

ben44

Believe its a real, non p!ss take thread then do you?

scoobfan

Yep

**** I currently own a lowered Saxo on non-standard rims. This is getting part-exed for my 04 WRX which i'm getting in the next 10 days.
