s3 power from the 1.6. how can iget more
Discussion
I would just get an SC. They are wonderful cars and have all the power you'd ever need. 1.6s are quite popular so you'd have no trouble getting a half decent PX price or selling. I've just sold a beautiful Club Racer SC. I posted on here a couple of weeks back I was in a dilemma over keeping that one its such a nice car!
enjoy your new car first before upgrading. The 1.6 is very fast in the dry on public roads (with bends).
On the dual carriageways, relax and cruise, it's not the fun bit.
They do better with no passenger, no luggage and better manifold & exhaust.
Enjoy, then browse the classifieds for an S.

Thanks. Think I'll just. Enjoy the s3 for two years. Get some miles under my belt then. Upgrade to the. S
Still will sort out that exhust
The car sounds. Like erm. Well don't. Know. Can't hear it....
I love my 1.6, it's just fast enough on country lanes without the stupid power of the sc. my advice, fill it with v power, it definitely makes a difference in this car. I can't stress this enough! Still will sort out that exhust

Mine has a trd air box and 2bular zorst so it sounds great and pops and bangs loads.
The 2bular manifold is a worthy addition aswell, 155hp with the 6spd box would make the car feel properly quick

Do TRD do an airbox for the 1.6? These are a great addition on the other Toyota cars.
they do, its the same air box on all toyota cars, mine has one on. Lotus silverstone will do a supply and fit job if you're not confidant in doing it yourself. sounds great and definitely improves throttle response
I've seen some with around 200 hp, ah here example>

The best money you can spend is on yourself, driver training
Please don't take this as an insult I've learned the hard way on a few occasions and it's advice that I'd wished I'd taken earlier
I've spent in excess of 6k on driver training since passing my test and I'd now say I'm Ok
