turbo a 1.0

[adamm]

hey one of my foolish mates was saying about turboing a 1.0 i said its a waste of time and wouldnt even beat a vtr of the line. he thinks different he knows more about engines than me but has no common sence just wondered if it would be worth it or am i right and would it be a shitty 1.0 again

[JamesR]

You could get 1.0 faster than a VTR, but for the money and work it wouldnt be worth it IMO

[Danr]

He could make a 1.0 alot quicker than a vtr.

[adamm]

exactly he is an idiot though with absolutely no common sence. turbo ist the only thing he though nos would be good to haha more waste of money.

[adamm]

He could make a 1.0 alot quicker than a vtr.

how???? considering hes 17 almost 18 and earns about 200 a week.

[Saamuell]

Let the fool do it and find out ;)

[Danr]

By bolting a turbo on?

Betty's 1.2 twingo is turbo'd. That could murder a vtr.

[adamm]

haha just seems like a waste of time

[adamm]

wheras one of my mates has a 1.3 old mini and hes turboing that. what would it be like?? just so i know how thrashed ile be haha.

[Danr]

Loads of people turbo vtr's and that. Sophia Bush on here had a turbo'd 1.1 as well. Didn't cost alot iirc.

[adamm]

also im on about a shitty mk3 fiesta that btw would probs end up in pieces if it could move faster than a fuking turtle

[Danr]

When i was driving to the ford rs central day at santa pod me and my mate got battered by a mk3 fiesta in his escort cossie.

bit different to a banger mk3 fiesta lol

[Danr]

it didn't look anything special, had a 2.1 zetec turbo lump but the car was the same.

It's stupid to take the piss out of him for wanting to turbo his 1.1. Some people do stuff like that and get good results.

[adamm]

he is 17 doesnt even go to college and hes basicly built this car himself mate he used fuking speaker wire to hold the exhaust up. and drove it round with primer on. like i sed he has no common sence but seems to be able to put and sort of mechanical thing together. also the car is currently of the road beacause he needs a vahicle inpection before he can inure it before he can mot it lol and why would you bother

What does he drive like?

[adamm]

i personally would much rarther buy a bigger engine a turbo that and get much better results lol considering you could buy a 1.6 fiesta for the same price as a 1.0 fiesta

[Danr]

1.0 would be cheaper to insure as a 17 year old though.

[spiderxjz82]

Hah, where from northampton is he from then, I'll go and see this '1.0 turbo'.

[spiderxjz82]

Yeah but with a TURBO? Not likely to be much difference to be honest up to about 1.6L. And if someone can't afford to insure what they plan on doing, wait until they're older or have more money.

[Danr]

True, but not many people actually declare their modifications. It's nothing to condone and it's stupid but if you take what the guy is saying about the guys car in question he doesn't sound like the kind of guy who would bother telling the insurance company.

[adamm]

What does he drive like?

a knobhead trust me originally he drove it into a ditch a completely fucked the car i mean the roof even had a crease in it. he then decided it would be a good idea to fix it up lol and drive it again which he did for a good few weeks. then he brought a shell because the other car was dangerous and put all the okay bits of his old car onto the new one. which is what he has now but he did a stupid thing and put the old reg plates on the new car as mot and insurance would still show up if police saw him stupid thing is he scrapped the old shell so when he did get caught (parked up) they found out the vehicle was a scrapped car. they was going to take the car untill they found out it had insurance and was motd and the reg plates matched with the engine. so they let him drive it home ever since its been sat at his house needing a vehicle inspection which it wont pass for shit then insurance and mot considering btw this was origionally just a 500 pound car which by now he has prob spent nearly a grand sorting it out. so why would you then go and put a turbo on it lol. also the police havent done fuck all since they was meant to go to his house which they havent show how tough the police really are on this sort of thing.

precisely id rarther buy a 1.6 tbh lol. and he wouldnt declare the turbo anyway.

[adamm]

also if you dont declare your mods and you get pulled and they see you have no mods declared on your insurance if they can then what would hapen in that situation

[adamm]

Hah, where from northampton is he from then, I'll go and see this '1.0 turbo'.

tbh mate i dont think its ever gonna happen just seeing if i wasnt the only one the thought turboing a 1.0 was pointless

Is there much point in him fitting a turbo? I doubt he will have a car much longer anyway, so it will be a waist of money.

Well that's stupid then. He sounds like a tosser. No offence.

none taken mate half the time my mates are trying to get away from him lol no one ever got in his car except for one other fool i know lol the way he drove was stupid he even drove a few miles on a flat tyre eventually the tyre shreded of and he carried on until the steelie was smaller and wider and cut all the brakes haha. i just find it amusing when i hear about all the stupid things hes done.

to be ohnest mate he doesnt deserve a car or even a licence it people like him that the police need to sort out but no they just let him get on with it and put other peoples lives at risk including me or my gf when he was driving right up our asses.

anyone else think trying to over take in a 20 zone with speed bumps is one hell of a stupid thing to atemtp if he ever damages mine or my gfs car he wont be capable of driving anyway.
