SRI turbo/VXR or SRI 2.2 Direct Injection

turbo.
The issues you had with your previous FWD turbo car was that it was an MX6, quite possibly one of the worst cars ever made.

ha ha yes i think wheels magazine dubbed it an "unguided missile"

i guess they were good for their time like most things in the early 90s

indeed, however i am not all for that "i dont think there is enough oil in my engine" diesel sound.

if they could fix that issue with diesel then i would be keen. my mate bought an audi 1.8 and when he started his car everyone was asking whats wrong with it, is it supposed to sound like that? i know its superficial but only diesel i want to deal with is my tradey flat bed.

astra diesel sounds pretty much like a normal car...

That above ^^^ maxrpm ie. most sound shite when idling but then like any other petrol when on the move...except for some of the newer ones, especially Mazdas new skyactivD which totally sounds like a petrol engine - maybe grab one of those S/H down the track

+1 and with a decent exhaust backbox and a pod sounds pretty mean!

Your right !!! was never a fan myself until recently looking into alot of vids of the later oilers out there, some of the tuned and modded ones actually sound pretty impressive...

Now that power (kw) output and performance figures are finally starting to look competitive compared with their petrol counterparts (torque output and efficincy were never a problem) I can see myself becoming an oiler convert - well for my next daily driver anyway

+1 lol yeh, not bad when they dont have a blown head but.. which is pretty much never

i never had a BHG on the mx6, worse, a failing oil pump.

so muchto and fro-ing with the 2.2DI vs the Turbo. test drive of the turbo this weekend hopefully.

If you test drive, and end up being keen on the turbo. There is a member on here (jaffa-cre) who is selling his mint AH SRi-T for 16k with stuff all kms on it

[maxrpm]

[maxrpm]

John Hughes has a Red AH SriT in his yard for sale.

[maxrpm]

thanks for the heads up Kabel.

yep thats the second out of the 2 for sale in WA.
