Hi Everyone, as you can see I'm a new member, Signed up looking for advice as its all new to me!
I bought an Altezza RS200 last weekend, sorry if your a purist but.... I only bought it for the engine and box to fit to a mk2 escort, which as far as i know has never been done yet.
Im building the car for rallying and thought 210bhp would be a nice starting point.
However, the car on the way home was pretty gutless, my 07 Passat TDi kept up with it, although that car is 170ish bhp and not far off 400nm it shouldnt keep up with the Tez I dont think :(
So my questions are......
Why is the altezza so flat? Im not sure the VVTi is working, how do i test this? if it isnt working then how do i fix it?
Also when it comes to tuning, what are my options??? 240bhp as a minimum if im going tuning, 270ish would be nice but all down to the cost.
Ive heard the AE111 ITB's are an essential starting mod?
Anybody make good cams other than TRD(which apparently are near impossible to get) and Toda( that are very expensive and take ages to ship)
Any mods I should do? Any mods I shouldnt do?
Thanks in advance for your help with this, I'm well and truly in the dark with all this,... if it was a pinto I would be away!
