Default Newbie from Birmingham, UK

Hey all,

Checked out the website and theres loads of info on here so just thought I'd sign up to the forum as well. Look forward to learning alot

Drive a 1.1 Mitsubishi Colt, nothing fast and the cornering is a bit dire, but still very nice for a first car, not planning to do much to it at the moment as insurance is a limiting factor.

Haha, cheers for the welcome!

Well, I'd like to take the 1.1, 3 cylinder engine out and chuck in a 2.0 Evo 4 engine...actually, that ain't gonna happen either, given I know nothing about engines

Um, looking to perhaps get a decent pair of speakers in, the stock ones sound tinny. Perhaps noise reduction? Not sure if thats easy, but the car is so loud on the motorway that if people in the front are talking, the passengers in the back can't hear...

Probably start there? I don't think theres that much performance wise I can actually do with the car, short of changing the engine...
