It's original except for the aluminum air intake.
I'll see if I find some pics of these bumpers when modified, later I post.

Well, the 1.0T have never been tested on a dyno, g-tech or anything...but have something like 120~130hp on full boost. It runs on high octande gas with a small turbo and intercooler.
The GSi has 140hp and + 80hp on the nitrous shot. Have a shorter intake manifold, a better exausth, cold air intake, adjustable cam pulleys (rarely used), custom chip and a timing retarder for the nos shot.
A new forged pistons/rods engine is under construction for this one, next year we hope to achieve more hp!

shame we cant get some of that stuff over here- air box for gsi etc.
is the replaced inlet manifold made from a carbon composite or something similar on the gsi???
are your running the nos on a progressive controller or a full hit 80hp??

We made the air box and the inlet manifold, both is FRP (fiber reinforced plastic), so is the front spoiler too. The manifold has aluminum in the fixations points.

No progressive shot for nos - the 80hp comes in the touch of the button...but the timing retarder too.
And the sparks are not the original!

sounds good- maybe someone with the skills over here should think about something similar
- lighter and easier to shape with regard to gas flow than the metal ones we have.
how does it go on nos??? im hoping to get about a 35 shot next year.

what spark plugs have you gone for- most of the time you have to go a grade colder than standard.

Whenever I see cars from other countries they just don't look as "botched" as they do from over here.
Nice cars

Goes like hell!!! Just kidding, but goes very well. First try on 60hp was already great, in time we decided 80hp was the number. Even on 100hp we can go with a little bit more retarding on the point.
