MKIII's aren't that bad (much as it make me bash my head on the lappy saying it). My dad had a fettled VR back in the 90's and that car was superb. Went like poop off a stick and was still going strong when he sold it for £500 with 290,000 miles on the clock. Never once let him down but it did fall to pieces. When it went none of the windows worked, the sunroof was fecked, the air conditioning had packed up and the trim was all hanging off and the boot wwas rusted through. It was only 6 years old!

No cause it's impossible without throwing your interior away, getting busy with an angle grinder and slapping a turbo on it!

To put it in perspective I have similar power in my MKII with about 250Kg less weight, semi slicks and I can just about hang onto a MKV GTI to 60 and they do it in just under 7 secs.

Ok, well my bro has a honda accord type r, and it keeps up with that to around 90. im not sure on the 0-60 times on that but it has 212bhp and its not that heavy.

7.1 the only standard MKIII that would keep up with that past 40 is a VR6. Your Bro's is either broken, has something stuck under the throttle peddle or he can't drive for toffee.
