From 6 July 2009, drivers issued with a probationary licence on or after 1 July 2007 may drive some lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. The definition of a lower performance turbocharged or supercharged vehicle is a vehicle with 6 cylinders or less that is;

  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio of less than 100kW per tonne;
  • turbocharged or supercharged with a power to weight ratio between 100kW and 125kW per tonne and that is considered to be a family type vehicle (4 seats or more) rather than a sports type vehicle. A family type vehicle is a sedan, station wagon or hatch normally used to carry families/passengers with 4 or more seats and are equipped with child restraint anchorages. A family type vehicle does not include a sports car (two door coupe).

soo can anyone recommend something thats fun to drive that is within those rules?

Does the law mean that under 100kw & turbo is fine but if its 100-125kw/tonne then you need to apply for an excemption?

If thats the case find a turbo car under 100kw/tonne will be easier I guess.

Starlet GT or supercharged aw11 mr2 are two fun cars. Im assuming they both fall under 100kw/tonne

why not get a vl turbo ? it would be under the kw rule, cheap, and you have zero chance of finding a stock one, so it should be "fun"

i mean 21psi is "low boost" on a vl turbo these days

id recommend some good tyres though

hahahahahhaahahha realllllll funny

shan. i would hate to know what you were searching for when that came up

in that case, i would f**kin hate to know what that guy was up to..

on another note.

5 13 pages of VCD annotation, 30 generations to be drawn up, 10 developments with annotation and then i get to finally start the project. FML

hahahahahhaahahha realllllll funny

why hahahah ? it was a serious suggestion

there would be dozens for sale, they are cheap, last forever

the base power output vs weight would keep it under the rule

and almost all of them would have mods, so its still within the rule (based on factory specs)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
