Hey all,

Well i just thought id add my bit on this little car (A160) that raised alot of eyebrows when it first came out. Yeah its ugly, but to be quite honest i had so much fun in that thing it was not funny. I came to be driving it as mums car died after having it for a week and they gave it to us as a courtesy car and i wasnt in the mood for driving mine.

Saw Charly and Nick and milton and they will tell you that i was having a ball. The thing handles unreal, and yeah its not fast and no its not a sports car, but i had so much fun tiptronic 4 speend thing, and the breaks, they were the highlight, it would out break my car neday they were just amazing, Charly can tell you how good the hand break was too....

Cheers

John

    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.

    • Isn't there a PAR engineering gearset that has closer to stock ratios? And they claim they'll do whatever ratios you want.
