as for being sluggish or quick....all depends how steep a cliff it is you push them off. sorry curtiz couldn't resist it

more or less the same looks as a turbo, but without the scoop

ooo yes, i think so lol, but going from a vtr to a sport its well worth it really, apparantly can be good for 30mpg tho if you drive it normally, but on the otherhand if you drive it like you stole it, as with most cars, it will drink

They're not particularly fast in a straight line, they guzzle fuel, but they are damn good fun

Thats mine.. spent alot on it! compare to a turbo they are slow compare to your average car they are not,

mine will quite happily keep up with my mate 1.8 16v clio and out handle it.. i find mine very juicy though £42 fills it up i will be lucky to get 200miles average about 185mile to a tank

Blimley that is really crap MPG, My modded Turbo will do 300 + miles out of tank and I drive it how it's supposed to be driven

yeah, that seems more super car MPG than a NA engine.

Most of my journeys are a mix of 60-80 miles of country lanes which are given alot of beans, 30 miles round town (sat in traffic)and the rest motorway/dual carriageways at normal cruising speed

And mine is running 320BHP ish

sarahsquares has one...I know hers insn't standard but I'm sure she will be able to answer your question. iirc there was a guy with a cashmere sport and a black turbo bonnet a while back?

nah was defo not a stick on mate. was sat very neatly into the bonnet as though it was meant to be there, not just sat on top if you get me. plus the vents were not there, and there were no signs of it being a modified bonnet.
