Ok peeps. Just registered on this site so i could join in all the fun. Need some suggestions from people. Here are the specs of my 1.4 SI so far:
clear rear clusters, Mk 4 rear wiper, debagded all round, complete re-srapy of interior (colour-coded), 16" alloys, Remus backbox, M3 mirrors, Kenwood mask system, 12" kicker comp sub and kicker amp etc etc.

Im after a badboy bonnet with RST vents and a scooby scoop and i've been quoted £150 for the lot inc fitting and spraying. Is this any good? And also a quote to get my baby turbo'd for £1500. Price comparrison anyone?

Welcome - This site should more than cater for your needs.

The price for the bad boy bonnet sounds like a bargin to me.

[andyc]

Cheers mate!

any ideas about the turbo conversion?

[Sp00ny]

Are you open to suggestions???

What with the Si being a smooth looking car anyway, and yours being debadged, i reckon rst vents and scooby scoop will spoil the look.

Just get the bonnet de-badged, with the swage line below it filled, and the bad-boy eyebrows done. Not exactly original but still mint.

[AdrianFRST]

Vent or scoop, both is overkill I think.

What did the turbo conversion involve?

If it's a proper low compression setup with higher flow injectors that's a good price.

If you hear '5th injector' mentioned, run a mile!

[andyc]

You reckon sp00ny? No vents or mesh or nothing? I love mesh, think its the best thing since sliced bread!

AdrianFRST, didn't really get a chance to go into proper talk about it cos i'd of been late for work! I'll find out tomorrow if a can.

[Sp00ny]

Yeah, but i can't think where on a standard Si bumper you'd get mesh???

Thinkin about it, my engine does get hot, so maybe a small, different scoop would be good.

[Muzza]

go for the RST vents and forget the scooby doo doo scoop

[andyc]

So going out an getting a full Evo 5 bonnet is not a good idea then?

I just want something that looks hard and nutty but not so much that people start to say "no no no!"

Smooth it all out, and create a scoop, which fits underneath the front bumper, and scoops cold air upwards, and into the engine bay.

Hey presto,
Smooth looking car,
Bad ass splitter.
Cool engine

[andyc]

One question...
Does the engine run any better or quicker (maybe) when its cooler? Bit of a stupid question but hey, when it comes to anything under the bonnet im a bit on the shallow side.
Need more advice about the tuning side...
Cheers people!
