8v Vs 16v Race Video

[phillyh]

As promised, we had ourselves a wee race, and there wasn't much in it

my 8v with induction and full magnex and something else (not sure what) against a 16v with full magnex . woohoo
the valver clocked over 130mph and my 8v was inching away (speedo only goes up to 120)
appologies for the shoddy camera work, its not easy getting a steady shot at 130 mph

Nice car 1990! Spot the difference!



Good to see someone else with good taste!

It looks great!!!    Only differences look like 5 stud wheels and mudflaps.

I actually sold that car, it was a 2.8vr6 and i replaced it with a mk3 vr6 :'( The worst thing i ever did.

I've got another black one now, a j-reg 2.0 8v and i'm after a 2.9 lump for that. I'll never be mk2less again!!!!!
