Opel Club Cape Town

Hey guys, this ones for the speed freaks. Ive always had issues with the VTEC , RSI and the STI.

Lets face it, if you drive an opel, you gonna get challenged. I've been challenged a few times and well, had my ass handed to me

I always give credit were credits due and, in stock form, these cars are pretty powerful.

Now my car is a 1.8 8v.....all bark and no bite and im sure most GSI owners would agree.

What opel engine, besides the OPC range, are powerful enough to take on these cars??

Oh and, lets leave out the superboss engine on this one......

All you need is a 8v turbo

Check out Wayno's black T-car 8vT
viewtopic.php?f=30&t=28318

Tauzty's 8vT also making headlines

And then for a more modern set up .. there's also DIABLO's build from a few years back

There's a couple of builds in the projects section on the forum that you might find of interest ...

As Klonkie said, turbo is probably your best bet.

You going to spend a lot to keep up with or beat the STI/GXI and vtec's.
