I was thinking the same....might aswell make things as easy as possible anyway, as ya said prob pay as much extra for a CS/RC than you would putting in FMIC or charge cooler on a standard st185...

I have far better idea of where i'm going now lads....

Any more suggestions ona car to start from, preferably a red CS/RC welcome!!

Some people don't like the look of an Hyundai.

I would avoid the first one...why?
I doubt it runs perfect if there's a leek at the exhaust manifold.
Chances are the exhaust manifold is warped and will need a scim.
Also the water leek behind the turbo doesn't sound good - hose from hell?

Second one would be worth a punt at that money - looks on the face of it as a bargain...even tempted mysef BUT what's it like underneath - has the dreaded rust go to it?

power comes in nice and holds through rev range...its not the fastest rallie slag iv owned but it is maybe the smoothest

Id suggest you now sort intercooling if your running the std top mount and fit a front mount to drop intake temperatures. You should then see a nice increase in power just with that.

hmmmm i didnt realise there could be that much of a gain...got me thinking now!!lol

Its not that it will probably make more power its that yours probably makes more but only once then heat soaks and then timing is backed off and all the power goes.. With better intercooler you have all the power all the time...
