a mate of mine is thinking of getting a uk 2000. he asked if i could find out all i can for him on things to look for on buying a car and tuning it and so on. cant think of a better place to ask but do know this he is 18 and can only get insured on a uk so no imports lol
thanks muchly steve

If he is only 18 I wouldn't reccommend him modifying it yet as the mods will more than likely add a hefty premium for a youngster.

i agree but he wants the whole induction kit and exhaust info and he has said when hes old enough he will be aiming for the 400+ mark

18 and getting insured on a uk turbo, must have deep pockets! lol
I was running around in a 1.1 Citroen at that age..

I'd check with the Insurance co and see if they'd actually insure him with any declared modifications on it before he goes ahead..

he'd be best putting a discrete back box on it and panel filter if anything IMO, Hayward and Scott group n and an sti panel filter etc

maybe look at improving the handling using uprated arb's, bushings and eibach springs etc before he touches the engine..

Has he actually found anyone to quote him?

18 ?? seriously ??. lucky bugger.

I advise not to go for power mods with not long since passing their test. it'll be quick enough for now. let them get used to the roads first.

yep £3000 on that go compare bollox even i was amazed. its cheeper for him to insure a uk turbo then a mk 4 golf turbo
