Hello From South Africa

[EtudeSA]

Hi Guys, I am from Cape Town in South Africa. Been browsing the forums for a while and got my Etude in October last year. Our Protege is known as the Etude here in SA and we only got the 1.6 and 1.8, not the 2litre or turbo:mad:

Anyway, this is my car, Its 2002 Etude 180iSX. This is the top of the range Etude in SA meaning it comes withh all the bells and whistles. Elec windows, full leather, aircon, 6 cd frontloader, full bodykit, alloy rims etc..

Changes made thus far are the Exterior:40mm lowering kit, 17 TSW Apex in anthracite,Interior: Isotta gearknob(soon to be added short shift) Isotta pedals, panasonic MP3 player, Kenwood sub and 2 starsound amps. (Will be adding neons and playstation2 soon.)Engine: Unichip, custom stainless steel exhaust , KN Filter and racing cams.
Unfortunately I dont have the power figures as the mods have been done by the previous owner. I will have the car dynoed and tuned shortly..
The standard motor pushes out 90kw so i am hoping with these mods i am getting over 100kw.

Thats enough for now, let me know what you guys think(cool)
ps; these are just some quick pics. will post better ones soon.

Hey, welcome.

By the way, how much does 90 kw translates into hp?

 

[iLisa]

Welcome..

your car is backwards.. j/k

 

[II-Savy]

I like the wheels. (cool)

 

[vindication]

welcome aboard dude. very sharp car you got there. nice wheels. I beleove that is the first 4-lug P5 I have ever seen. If you know of any big brake upgrades for the 4-lugs let me know, because there really are none here.

P.S. oh, your steering wheel is on the wrong side.

 

[txrxs]

Welcome. Be thankful you have the the 1.6, it's a hell of alot stronger than the 2.0L.
