Didn't Anders move from a Fiat 500 (or something similar) to a 22B?

Beef

My mate went from a 1.0 Nova to a 290bhp V8 Pop. That's about 650%.

Don't know about power upgrading but I moved from a Merc Coupe to a Scooby and serously reduced my servicing costs. And I get better treatment from the guys at Lavender Hill!

Erik_Fairbairn

What is the biggest upgrade you have ever heard of?
I have a 1.1 Metro, and my UK Scooby arrives in a few weeks. Is this a record? It is a 400% to 500% power upgrade by my thinking!

Stu

I moved from a 1.0 AX to a uk turbo

Baj,

Cem

johnfelstead

if you include race cars then how about this one.

998cc maguire hillman imp, 110BHP and 500Kg to a 5litre V8 esprit GT, 420BHP and 700Kg

AlexM

How about a knackered 1.8 non-efi golf automatic with persistant misfire, knackered carburation, and a slipping torque converter (top speed 70mph) to MY98 UK turbo?

Cheers,

Alex

Yes I did own a Merc.
But now my voice has broken I've upgraded!
Family commitments yesterday. My son gave me a sound thrashing on some swordfighting game at the bowling alley!

Subarussian

Hey! How about from a 60 bhp LADA to a UK MY00?! Beat that

Mike Rainbird

There is a 20 year old who has just joined our local group who has an ex-Castle Performance Cossie (grey injectors) running a claimed 400bhp through the rear wheels. This is insured as a standard car in his mum's name and his "own" car is a MG Metro....

The question is, how long will he (or the car) stay in one piece....

dumpsonscoobs

1 litre Nova to a BMW M5 (340bhp version). Traction and handling were so much better in the BMW that it was probably safer!

bob

Pushbike to E-Type Jaguar (First car).

Nick Lines

Trumpcard time: Morris Minor Convertable, MY1965 with godonlyknows how little power to MY00 UK spec.

I was borrowing the car for four months before the Scoob arrived after I had sold my previous car...

"Quite big" adequately describes the differences between the cars in whatever category you care to mention. Other than "stare value", though it was the older end of the population that looked at the moggy and the younger with the scoob.

We (wife n' I) went from a Citreon Visa diesel to a MY00.
Nearly killed ourselves first day before we left 1st gear

Philip Thurlow

Well I can beat you all into smitherines !
Before my Scooby became mine I was busy peddaling about on my pro~flex mountain bike - the bhp is variable (depends on how much I drunk the night before) say 5 bhp of arguments sake to the Sports BHP which is ? ? erm - dont laugh you lot ! 125bph isnt it ?
so that has to be an upgrade of about 2500 %
ha back at ya babe ! (we'll miss you Zoe)

RON

I just went from a £65 Mini with 40bhp, to a brand new UK Turbo, forget the power difference, look at the price difference. GULP!!!!!
Ron
PS I think my car is Brill.

Anders

Fiat Tipo diesel and a 1.1L Micra, to a 22B and then back again courtesy of Poor Engineering!
