I have a evo 6 running 376.6 bhp for weekends and a Mondeo st tdci as a every day car 2 totally different cars lol the evo is hard basic but fast and the Mondeo comfy and smooth, toying with the idea of rebuilding the evo through the winter just as apparently for anymore power I have to forge it as they tend to throw rods so im told

@andrewj1680 Aww yeah that's well nice.
Mines the middle one, fully forged front mount and exhaust. Other than that it's bone stock.

fully forged I can imagine it would run good power with just a decent map -

@CYBER-NINJA Better clutch feel, easier to use and the better ones are self adjusting. No more fettling the clutch perch.
If you have ever driven a Japanese car then you will understand. Most Jap cars from the 60's up come standard with hydraulic clutch. It's only now that the VW crew catching up.

Pretty sure they went back to cable clutch on the mk4.
Regardless the Datsun 240z was OHC Timing Chain engine with hydraulic clutch way back in the sixties.

Think we pretty much stole someone's thread with our cars, I didn't get on with the mk3 golf Either, my vr6 spat it's head gasket on the left rear corner apparently it's a common fault, and my gti was slow as shit all noise and no go, 1 car I do wish I'd kept was a mk3 astra gsi the phase 2 I put a calibra turbo engine in I have a video somewhere on the dyno

I was always under the impression that those C20LET engines were monsters.
But I guess it's a combination of Light car okay engine.
I mean Honda get that sort of power out of their N/A's.

Lol would of thought even a 2.0 8v would of gone well in the nova, my cav was the 16v redtop think I give about £500 for it Def a good buy back in the day. Would hate to think what a 150bhp car would feel like now. Even my diesel mondeo St is running more than that and a return of 47.7 mpg

But it was probably because it was more revy etc.
