ive just had a long trip on the motorway and down some b roads in my 8valver, and it was terrific! ;D

tell the whole story marcus - i still caught and overtook you in my milk float.



is that what your calling your 16valver these days??? :D :D :D

no, it was my milk float - electric powered thing - bought it for fun - just to p*ss off 8v owners.

if i was in the 16v - then it wouldn't of been a race - more of a comedy sketch about an 8v trying to keep up with a 16v.

they were built to a ratio if memory serves me right.

somewhere between 4 and 8 8vs per 1 16v.

Boy - I wanted to find a thread to help me choose my first VW first Golf and first Gti and I find this  :o Helpful and pretty funny. On the fiat coupe forum there's some good-natured banter between the Turbo crew and the N/A crew but the difference there is so massive that it's a no-brainer; 145bhp v 220. (250 in my case  ;D ). What I want to know is the 30-70 times through the gears in both cars - that's where the action is.

i think my 8v golf is the best car in the world, but i have to admit that i would like some more speed higher up the revs and once you get into third its pretty much like a 1.4 or 1.6....

hey mackey! :D

i used to use the fiat coupe forum when i had mmy 20valve turbo!
its good, but not as good as good as this one! ;)

30-70 wont compare that favourably to your coupe in either golf 16v/8v.
i love the torque in my 8valve and goin from 220bhp to 112 has been ok,

the golf is loads of fun to throw around corners ;D

in many ways i prefer it to my coupe! ;)

That's reassuring. I always promised myself a Mrk2 Gti and just realised that if I don't get on with it it'll be too late. I'd keep the coupe if I could afford 2 cars but.... nope.

I reckon I'd prefer a 16V but I'll take the first really mint one I find. No - the 30-70 won't beat 5.2 secs  ;D but does anyone know what the figures are?
