I'm guessing somebody (Toby) has probably been on Edition 38 and read my posts regarding the very same engine..

It kicked off a bit of a debate over on that forum too lol

Don't see how it matters though cus the other day you were telling everybody it's your mums car :huh:?

Who cares how many valves it's got for gods sake. It's still a slow engine how ever you look at it.

The only car I ever knew with that set up was the Triumph Dolomite Sprint, I could be wrong however.

Well no but power is not everything, I had an 8v Gti and found it quick enough for the driving I did plus good on fuel.
