I'm tempted to rock up in the golf for one of these jap only cruises, watch them have a whinge lol

give it a miss pat for the 11bty time! haha

yeah, Billy's car pulled it off. You need lots more low and much better sizes offset if you go that path

Kind of sad that the Fabia RS (1.4L twincharged) is faster than the 86, despite less power and roughly the same weight

It's 3-4k cheaper too...shame it looks like a smashed crab.

have a lot more torque though and that's what will win it

[Birds]

Bout 50nm more, still, for the size of the engine and the fuel economy it gives, it's got more impressive performance. I think that might be faster than the Polo GTI?

Why couldn't the friggen 86 at least be moderately quick, even a 7 second 0-100 would have me buy one

Hold out for that TRD version...or join Alex with the 300C...

Wheels mag tested it at 6.8

Yeah probably is, I've heard of a guy that has a Skoda Octavia (wagon) TSI and that has beat a few Golf GTI's which run the same engine, well the whole running gear actually; just the body is different

The 1.4 twin charged engine isn't in the polo's though, they run a 1.8T, only the Golf GT's came with 1.4TC and they are pretty fast

So for it to be faster than a Polo to is pretty good

2011 and newer polo GTI have the 1.4TC and 7spd DSG.

basiclly deciding between the 86 and the gti atm.

manifold and rear housing have 'broken in' car no longer sounds like a tractor...

... sounds like a lancer with a cannon tip

[Birds]

This is interesting...I wonder how repeatable it is, because this time would match the on paper stats. Yet Toyotas official figures say mid to high 7s and low 8's for the respective gearboxes and I can't see why they'd stay conservative about the test figures...that's something high performance cars usually do

lol crap, SR20 = forever tractor.

It really doesn't. Sounds like those hyundais or lancer mirage things you see going around with random cannon tips

Good thing varex is there. Driving around with the f**ker off lol

[Rekin]

Gaskets ordered. 2years after the EPA time to dust off the parts and fit them back on. 2530 woo.

Anyone have an air compressor so I can set my adjustable actuator?
