Pikey009 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 I believe it’ll be something like a 1.5 NA 6speed LSD with breathing mods on management. we both like the idea of the car remaining NA but going down a slightly different route than most and seeing what’s possible from the 1.5 These little cars don’t need huge power to have fun and after being in some decent powered ones, getting power down to enjoy the bends can be tricky.

Great plans ahead. For a very oem+ car its a good way to up the power with a very original look. Also interesting to see how a 5e n/a can perform. I still a enjoy driving my relfet! Even after using the glanza. Just wish the reflet had a manual box lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) High quality. Agreed a 1.5 on a c60 gearbox would be very capable. Alot more acceleration and torque. Following this 1 keep it up. Edited April 1, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 @BMX-RIG is yours a reflet x? I used to have one and it felt pretty nippy compared to uk versions. Think it must have been the 100hp and the low gearing. @Sam I’ll make sure everyone knows when Travis has the car back as I’m sure he will want to keep everyone updated.

Certainly is! 2wd sadly but reflet x with climate control too! It feels faster but the long gears in the auto box makes similar to a uk spec n/a. Desperate to manual swap it but the overdrive makes it sit at 80 happily without revving the nuts off it. Thread on here for it incoming... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 They are revvy little things. I had an ep95 x for around two weeks with a view to sr rep it and possibly turbo it but my wife fell pregnant so. It got moved on to Socks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Well, I got the car all loaded up today ready to take back to Trav. Had one last little blast in her first and still puts a smile on my face. He’s got some really nice things planned for the car so switch over to his thread for some updates soon.

Pikey009 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 So I’m just about to head to Trav now to give him the car back, I’ll miss it but at least now I’ll be able to focus on the GT and he gets his toy back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) You really will miss it mate the effort you put in but the cars going to a enthusiast aswell trav is the right person for this car it's in good hands Edited September 30, 2020 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 It’s been his car for a few years now mate, I was just looking after it while he got back on his feet. Do love it though, so much fun to drive and so clean. Have a word with him about the 98 spec interior mate 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yeah I can’t wait to see the progress to be honest mate. I think someone on here has all three colours lol, made for a cool pic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
