Yeah 1z engine, Boosts to about 0.9 bar, Was gonna chip it take it up to about 110bhp but with the brakes as they are it's prob not a wise idea lol

I'll have a look at the V40 cheers

Does that actually work like that? Always been sceptical, but sounds like what I need to be doing

If you want off the wall (Don't like auto's myself but...) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-HONDA-S- ... 6871548%26

OK, that's enough daft suggestions from me!

It's not taken that much off my road driving

But yeah, just feel i have less to prove on the road, I just trundle along and enjoy 50+ mpg and then have fun in the corners cos I don't have a lot of choice lol

Can't agree on the S40 though

Ugly, Slow and the one I drove handled like a suet pudding!

I'm thinking she must be a pretty good looking lass for you to have ended up with that opinion of the car

Perhaps he had his mind on other things at the time

Got one of them... (along with 4 saloons). The 2.5 turbo diesel was actually the fastest production diesel car in the world at the time, doncha know!

Cavernous isn't the word, but I wouldn't advise it for a daily if you're not mad into 'real' Citroens.

yup, there's not many other people who are into constant electrical failure, and tin foil bodywork.
