My Rev 1 turbo will be going up this week at some point, once i've had the chance to clean it up and grab some more pics, have half heartedly put it up before but it will be going in the classifieds this time for definite.

300bhp....... hmmm I bet that shifts. What's the best you've had out of it in terms of top end?

The guy before me said 160 but personally it's been about 145 before coming up to traffic (on an autobahn last year). Not the best car for doing it in though as the front goes very light at those sort of speeds.

they all do that, my NA feels like it wants to kill me at anything over 120mph.

IMO they're ideally suited to nice bendy A roads, on a sunny dry day, with the roof off, for a bit of chucking around the bends and flooring on short straights.

I think he means that...... I'm going to die...... feeling.

Responsive is one way of putting it... Maybe one of those bonnet mounted Phoenix Power spoilers would help matters.

Yep, not the most attractive of add-ons but it would no doubt help anyone serious about top-speed stability.

I never found mine a problem at high speed (genuine 150 at brunters)- wonder if that front lip made any difference?

Hmmmm....

How about just sticking a sack of spuds in the space under the front bonnet?
