And no-one does buy the 100bhp version.
I don't personally want to create or have a modded car, but some of them are very well done. Just that personally I would always have power
without looks rather than the other way round. Of course, the looks thing is very personal.

If you got a hyundai accent in metallic blue and stuck a big spoiler on the back, and a scoop on the bonnet, it would rate about the same in the
beauty stakes.

Nasty. You could build a realy nice trackday performance hatch for that money.
I'm inclined to mod my car a bit but only for the purpose of improving the drive. I like the idea of a sleeper  Cossie brakes, eibach springs
and dampers, poly bushes, upper and lower braces, 160bhp engine upgrade, racing puma seats and some nice harnesses. Bye bye £4k  Add another grand
for the shot peined gearbox with lsd.
Or I could just trade it in for a racing puma

reckon that without gran turismo games, imprezas and evo's would never have caught on.
yes they go rallying, but you don't see anyone buying rally inspired corollas or 206's.
if you don't fail, you aren't trying hard enough.

That's because there are no rally inspired Corrolas or 206s
There is little doubt though that GT massively increased the profile of cars like the Skyline and and pretty much every other jap performance car.

I'm quite into hot hatches as I'm sure some of you know but I still don't like cars either have stupid mods or are 'all show
and no go'.
Eg my XR2 has alloys, Spax suspension, ST24 brakes, 2.0 CVH engine with all the necessary bits and an S2 ERST gearbox with LSD. That's what I
call modifying, none of this 'stick on' crap.

Good theory. I've wondered if he thought he might get lucky with sxy_girl_racr on his "test drive".
