Yeah its good to get ya car back. I blew a box and my car was off the road for a week. It was such a pain in the **** seeing as though it blew up the same day after I got it back from a service. It happened after I got the gear shifter bushes changed so naturally I was suspicious they screwed it. But now its all good and i just enjoy crusin.

good to see its back on the road. if your looking for extra KWs you cant beat racing stripes!
either that or some rice stickers on the front guard.
seriously though if you want some extra power go to the zorst shop or local mechanical performance shop for a nice engine rebuild. either that or a TURBO.

different compression ratio.

2.2NA 8.6:1
2.2T 7.8

different gearbox and flywheel

2.2NA 8" fly, 1" driveshafts (these are from memory)
2.2T 12" fly, 2" driveshafts

overall everything on the 2.2T is beefier to the NA
