| Bloody hell, and here was me thinking Coolamaster was going soft and buying a standard fast car and just looking after it.

| Yup as RS1 says the 6.5 engine is a lot stronger becuase the 4 engine has a different main bearing setup which makes it weaker, if you went above 350bhp a thing called "crankwalk" or "crankfloat" was more likely to happen = not good! Plus the gudeon pins are smaller on the 4 etc, looks exactly the same but its the internals that are different
Theres a long story behind the TME engine, but I got it at a damm good price as the chap selling it is having a 2.4 stroker engine built with a GT35r turbo and needed funds quick time and I was in the right place at the right time!
I want a solid reliable car that will take 370-400bhp all day long without complaining too much and with the 4 lump I would never be confident of that!
And no the 4's had 2 pot brakes and it was the 5 onwards that had the 4-pot Brembo setup.
A full setup off a 8 came up at a good price that had only covered 10k miles so I thought it would be rude not to purchase!
I've done all my research anyway and getting the parts at a good price so not going tooo mad, the management is what will hurt my pocket! well if I go Autronics anyway  |

| 4.5" isnt the end of the world then, looks bigger than that in the pictures TBH.
Personally I would still replace it with 3" though, but thats just me, lol |

| Yeah but it would look out of place on an evo as the exhaust cut out on the bumper is huuuuuge, big tailpipes seem to suit em well  but sticking a 4.5/5" on an astra or something would look pure silly imo  |

| Fair enough
Ive just chopped a 6" or so one off the exhaust for the calibra and replaced it with 3£ of straight pipe, looks SO subtle
But then Evo's dont need to be subtle, lol |
