Default Hi

Hi guys,

I'm new to tuning but am trying to get more involved. A friend and I are even trying to start a tuning club here at my school. It would be great if anyone had any tips on starting a club or even suggestions on an easy project car to start with. Thanks!

HI welcome to the site - a tuning club is a really good idea. It will, I'm sure, have a lot of support. It may sound daft but you might be able to persuade the school to provide a go-cart as a project which you can either build from scratch or tune up yourselves. (It will be cheaper and will teach you the basics of tuning and handling and automotive setup!)

Failing that you really need a car with a big supply of parts a Nova or Corsa is probably a sensible base and doing an engine/gearbox swap with a cavalier or astra will dramatically increase power and again provide tuning experience as you apply other tweaks to the engine.

hey and welcome to the site good to see more people into turning.

A project car I would have to suggest either a 106 or a Punto.

Only because I have a Punto lol
