What To Do? A Little Help Please

[ellis 7]

Hi guys, Im in a bit of a tough spot and want a few peoples views to try and help me make my mind up what to do as i realy carnt decide. Ive been building my 205 cti for just over a year now, got it to what id call a high standard and i love the car to bits. For anyone that doesnt know here is a quick piccy.

 

 

Ive always been into my turbocharged jap cars and had to sell my pride and joy , a version 3 type r impreza when i brought my first house. i always said id buy another when i could afford it as it was one of the best cars id ever drove. Well now im in a position to buy another one but i dont want to sell the cti as i wouldnt get the money for it that i would need to part with it and running another car isnt realy an option as we already have 2. So the only choices i have is to find somewhere to park the cti and dry store it ( seems a big shame tho ) then buy sumthing jap and turbocharged, or i sack that idea off and supercharge the 205. Its already gti6 powered and goes very well but i want more. Part of me wants to supercharge it and get it going even better and part of me says its a waste throwing more cash into it and just buy something already fast that would be able to put the power down better. So guys what would you do? Has anyone got or been in a sc 205 gti6? any good?

 

cheers, ellis

the questions i would ask

how much power will the engine make?

can i use/do i need all that power in a soft top?

Why would some piece of japcrap put the power better than one of the finest French chassis?

 

I don't think anyone has done a Rotrex supercharged CTI yet, so crack on

 

 

"Magic" has 400+ from a T16 in a Lazer CTI

In my experience, if you go jap and turbocharged for a little while you soon realise that the smiles per mile is much much lower than it would ever be in a 205, a friend of mine went from a clio cup to a celica GT4; yes the celica is fast as folk but now we are building a 205 gti6 for him because the celica just doesnt have the entertainment factor of a 205 or the clio. (And then theres the fuel bills!)

 

Sure, thats an isolated case, you may be very different but i thought i'd throw my two pence in.
