But it wasn’t long before I decided that looking pretty wasn’t enough.
When a white van accelerated past me, that was it, something had to be done. No-one had tried beefing up a colt before (that we knew of!), except for Ralliart’s Evo VI lump transplant, but at £30,000 that wasn’t really an option. They had tried to chip the colt’s 1.6 engine but only managed to give it an extra 3 bhp before blowing the engine up. My new Ralliart exhaust gave me more than that (4bhp). The challenge had begun.
After a lot of time and effort, emails and phone calls, we were advised to speak to John at Wincanton Motor Services. He gave us two options:
1) Build us a custom turbo
2) Transplant an FTO V6 Mivec 2 litre engine, into my vastly underused engine bay.
