Answer: Hi Jamie - why would you want to use anybody else to do the engine, when we have the machine shop right here?

Question: hi alan, ive been offered a evo 2 an can get it on a really good deal, i was just wondering if theses are easy to tune an mod, i think its got a front mount an been told its around 300 bhp, if i get it i\'ll bring it down to put on the rollers, many thanks chris.
Answer: Hi Chris - I really like these! we don't see very many, but the cars are great to drive, with a lightness of touch missing from a lot of 4wd offerings. They are a bit trickier to tune compared to the later Evos, but aren't at all bad with just a light tweak.

Question: ok thanks it just ive spent money on the exterior look of the car by fitting a custom kit fitted is there a chance to do an engine change
Answer: Anything can be done, but be wary of spending much more than it's worth! We can do a few things like a Superchip, induction kit and exhaust? That would add around 12 bhp for £700 or so. We could also improve the handling with slightly lowered springs and the brakes with EBC discs and pads.

Question: hi i got a standard 2000 mgf 1.8 i think from diffrent web sites ive looked at its got 118 bhp? my goal is to make some kinda speed monster out of it, ive set a side around £3000 to make it so and was wondering what options (if any) i got many thanks ben
Answer: Hi Ben - It's possible to tune these, but you can't go too far if you want to be able to run it on the road. Turbo Technics used to supply a Supercharger kit, but there is no denying the engines can be problematic! Personally, I'd say your best bet is to add the £3000 to what you'd get by selling it, then seek out the 160 bhp version.
