That sounds like a challenge mate!!! lol..Yours must have been broken, or the boost modulater valve was only giving you 9psi of boost like they often do! cos i really wouldn't count on it being beaten by a silvia with " a few basic mods" cos my old one was one such car. (seat cupra intercooler, 10psi boost) and it was still no-where near as quick as this. the gear box's are strong enough its the driveshaft output bearings that collapse, but these can be upgraded, they are boost-limited in first gear to help too. also its a proven fact that you can get a genuinely reliable 220-225bhp out of these engines. oh and the car isn't that heavy too. 1120kg. yeah i've seen a number of poeple who have accidently snapped off the little top hose!

that would make for a fun day i reckon!
 we could name it " beat the barge" not to hard for most of you lot though!! I think although as standard my car would beat a slightly modded silvia hands down, its got to be said that if each car was given 1k to make as much power/speed/handling ability as possible, then the silvia would win.

Tell that to the owner of this one!!! http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...71681&hl=en-GB
All this guys done is lower it on shrter springs/standard dampers, new wheels and a backbox. You're forgetting a few things, pelequin limited slip diff, very thick anti-roll bars, less weight than a standard silvia and its actually got a reasonable weight distribution, these ti's are not reguarded by those who know them as one of the best "q" cars ever for nothing you know, my last car was a lightweight mk2 golf gti, lowered 60mm, 205/50/r15 goodyear eagle tyres, eibach anti-roll bar kit. and this rover genuinely corners as good!
