Bought an SE+ 2.0 16V model in 2004, with 23k on it, cream heated leather, basically everything but sat nav, when I got it, it looked like this;

Full on OAP spec, but a good base to build on!

Countless mods later and it looks like this...

CAI!

4 branch hotshot header with stainless all through to the remus oblong backbox

Braceage!

Before the CAI and precat removal/header

Got a full on SQ audio setup in her too, as well as an imported 3 leg spoiler as well as a nice Cupra R splitter and recaro half leather seats and GTLE door cards plus LOTS more I forgot!

Looks good ! :biggrin:

Induction looks nicely routed away from the hot stuff.

What causes that weird power dip at around 3500rpm, is that normal for the SR20 ?

The torque dip is a trait of the N/A SR20, it's cured by a turbo, strangely :biggrin:

I'm not sure what the next mods are, just fitted a nice new headunit lol, I've had her so long now I really want a change, so it's kind of a care and maintenance thing at the moment Smile

Interesting base for a project.

A real sleeper motor if you slip a turbo under the bonnet:w00t:
