come on guys...think about it. in reality its do-able to get the claimed output.
one day people laughed when u said u could get an xe in a corsa. people laughed at the thought of twin engined cars!! now theyre everywhere.
thats the point exactly. i need to buy you a beer

not protecting them at all, what I am protecting is the need to be different and modifying is not all about weighing up your balls and proving who has the larger

how can we be? there are far more bull shitters left to post their 5p on the subject as they have often tuned engines etc themselves yet own a 1.2 with a bodykit

muppet, obviously main dealers dont do things like fit 20xe's with a warranty, or turbo upgrades, that'd be stupid buisness for a main dealer. although i have heard that now the monaro vxr500 is out, we are supposidly looking into doing a supercharger upgrade for normal vxr's which could be cool! as for all the upgrades ur talkin about, vauxhall could do things like that, in the special performance centres somewhere down south (although not sure), and in all the talking about different things, ive forgotten bout what we were arguing about, no hard feelings :-)

supercharger upgrade to the gen3 v8 takes about 4 hours-that really is bolt on. hardest job is changing crank pulley belt.
