I am putting work into my 97 1.8. This car is a little heavy but the handle is amazing. The motor build I'm going for is real basic n/a build w/ headers,intake,cold air intake, mount batterie in the trunk for better air flow.
Does anyone else that went this route for fun, know how this little motor handles it? Redline caps at 5,700 so Motor isn't a beast. Any input will be useful thanks! |

Same here as Cheela lol, but an upstate NY car. Definitely a nice light weight sporty car even with a 7A in it. I've done headers, exhaust and intake, gotta say the motor holds up to them very well. My input, go with a 2.25" exhaust from the cat, however if you get the chance to duct your intake line from outside the engine bay try and go that route. I have been looking at relocating the battery as well, summit has a good kit for it. Keep us posted on the progress.
