civic type r's dont stand a chance with mk2 1.8t's, neither do porsche boxsters and caymans! :wink:


You serious :shocked: didnt know they were that lethal

honestly, i promise they are. ( i have just two seats, poverty spec windows etc and 240bhp) this isnt some matcho post but they do surprise you of what modern 'sports' cars can have their pants pulled down by an old car! I love it!  :drool:

edit: i do have a short ratio gearbox on mine, which probably helps.

jealous!!  :angry: :tongue:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

I have noticeed that i get the exhaust popping quite a bit when I let off the accelorator, is this normal??



that will most likely be a air leak on your exhaust mate

LOL!! What?

I think you will find it's called overrun. Timing needs retarding a touch.

I did an engine conversion on a T25 bus a couple of years back - an Audi 5cylinder - that spat flames on the over run, too - something those following it weren't expecting!   :grin:

flames out of the exhaust ftw!

pretty sure you'll find a boxster will prob over take you in a drag race though, but off the line certainly you would win.


noble tuned - and still not fast enough!

quite the oposite the boxster would rinse me off the lights as he has traction but from 40 to 100 the golfs quicker, but over that he has the aerodynamic advantage as his car isnt brick shaped lol :laugh:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

hmmmn...sounds like a nice conversion.  type-r's are not all that.  I have one so I can say that, as a mk3 1.8t conversion dusted me a month or two back and i just wasn't expecting it!  :cool: Proper sorted body as well with smoothed bumper's etc...spotted it coming up fast towards a roundabout, slowed so i floored through and he just powered past to godknowswhatspeed  :evil: I couldn;t even catch him to give him the :afro:
