I can see..................said Stevie Wonder.... To be honest i would of thought the HGT would have a bit more to it as standard but the isnt any differance to the Sporting visually.... bar the badge on the boot... oh and not to forget the back end as they pass most cars in its class.... What does the HGT run at as standard i know its a 1.8 but what the BHP.... Whatever it is the one behind me was on my arse and i was pushing my 115bhp lard arse Bravo to the limit... lol lol

130BHP as standard the only reason i stuck with a sporting was to have the davantage of the 6 speed gearbox wich they didnt include with the HGT for some unknown reason.

130bhp thats gonna push that little car along quite nicely..... is it 4 or 5 cylinder... is there no chance of the six speed box fitting on the HGT.... would make for better fuel consumption id of though! Keep the sporting for the run around and strip that HGT down to the bare go-nads........ drop it 40mm with an abarth kit and straight through system and uprated manifold should see it hold its own against a standard Punto GT...

Its only a 4 cylinder engine... That was my plan from the outset due to the HGTs fuel consumption being so poor I thought it could be dropped streight in with little or no mods. Then i found out by afew people who had tried and failed. So just gave up and kept both. I was going to drop em both by 50mm.. is that too much? :? ive seen one around the bispham area not sure how much thats been lowerd i think its about rite

My Bravo is 60mm drop on standard shocks makes for a very hard ride but the cornering is awesome sticks to the road and put it one way theres a stretch of road near me which consists of traffics lights (perfect starting point) a 200yrd straight then S bend n roundabout 100yrd short straight n roundabout and 400yrd straight to a mini roundabout. I get round them that quick i have been up the arse of a superbike nissan pulsar gti-r and been i front of a whole lot more... Cars with power will kill me on straights but corners are my thing bloody hell i thin im Lewis Hamilton in disguise........lol lol
