unanswerable question. No one has spent the cash to take it to its maximum

Martyn from Tweequed is having a good go. Iirc hes aiming for about 300bhp at the wheels. Thats a highly worked on turbo lump. Lots of pennys

5k -7k for 200+

then theres clutches, boxes, driveshafts depends how far you wanna go.

you need a budget to work to

if you started with a vts you would get a lot more

d still like to see what could be done though

look at saxodaffy thread

as said if your gonna spend that much have a vts to start with. when youve got to start changing internals your going into another terrortory where a vts would be better. also youve got to think about suspension, brakes and whatnot

i still wouldnt spend 10k on drink. Ive spent about 8k on my sax in 2 years but thats pretty much repairing stuff thats broken and gone wrong :( im running 132bhp with cams, mani, decat, exhaust, ms fuel pump, remap, induction, lighten fly, and with very high octane fuel, few other bits and bobs, for 10k i would go and buy a civic type r and insure it
