it pulls hard all the way to the redline and I've topped it out at 130mph. Vixter will back that up as she's driven it.

jason, keep it lookin stock dont worry about other peeps opinions, but as for engine changes, that 8v k jet youve go tis fine matey, keep it stock or bang something diffferent in if your gonna change seems like every man and his dog with the cash is plumping for the 1.8t and all the bits or the vr6 lump, why not goe for some thing different?? from another car maybe?? local tuners round here are banging a r6 in the BACK of a mk2, with a super charger, or take my 1.8 16v lump aqnd bang some carbs on it 40's/45's and see 150bhp straight away!!!
