Heh,
Here is my beast i have had on the drive for awhile now.
Under the bonnet there is a 1.6Litre 16v @ 127BHP (105 Standard), Its had a Induction kit in there and a F.S.E Power Boost Valve With a Scorpian back box. Il get a pic of the engine tomorrow or somert.
Rolling on 17s, that rub on the rear archs if there is 1 Heavy person in the back. Its been lowered 60mm at the back so i need to raise it or get the archs rolled, its only rubbing on the plastic of the old arch.
Offset for alloys fine and tyres, so either just to low and needs archs rolling or raising a little.
Here is the car:
What you think?

22BHP gain, very impressive. Also looks like it needs lowering not rasing.

105bhp standard, and its 109bhp at the wheels and 127bhp at the flywheel see:
If you look at the receipt and my number plate you see a match.

But as i have said the back is lowered 60mm and the archs rub with weight in there so needs 20mm raise i think or archs rolling.

I wouldn't get it raised personally... I'd rather get smaller wheels and get it even lower but that's just me

Are you thinking of the GSI because this is the Sport... The GSI is a little higher

Im just saying what it says on the receipt mate, all ihave is a Induction kit and boost valve as i said with the scorpion back box.
Anyways, do you think it looks good, im wondering on getting that front bumper off and getting a Aggressor on it...
Also if you Badboy the bonnet will it need to be decleared as a mod to the insurance company?

Boost valve does nothing apart from make it run rich which in turn just adds more wear to the engine.
Personally I don't think it looks good, although Arden Blue is a sexy colour you've totally ruined the car with weird fibreglass 
All mods need to be declared to the insurance company or your insurance is void!

yes i know all mods, just wondered about the bonnet thats all.
I love the colour, the skirts are nice and back bumper just not keen on the front one tbh. Maybe possible thinking of smoothing the boot and adding a popper and using my fob to open it...

 I think...
1. you can't get arches rolled buddy you just trim the metal or flare it and also sometimes cut away some of the plastic on your arch itself....
2. Get some 16's maybe? and keep it 60mm... is the front 60mm? looks like it could go lower but i dont know if thats practical.
3. Get a semi smooth boot or debadge and grommet your wiper... atm the back is far to busy!

1. Its the plastic that ribs so may cut some away from the arch.
2. Cant afford to get new wheels and mine not sell for hardly anything (Scratched abit etc)
3. How do you mean by semi mate? Just get rid of the wiper?
- To be honest, i am not even sure if the front is lowered or not... i have not changed the suspension since owning it.
