Fastest = Early Small Bumper 16v
Most desribale = Oak Green Big Bumper 16v
Easiest to look after = All of them
Most economic = 88 Onwards Digifant 8v

Hope that helps!

You reckon? It seems white is the most desirable at the moment!

8v digi would be my choice.

I've heard this from somewhere before, even with small bumper digi's are quicker than their big bumper brothers?

Mates had a few big bumpers, a couple of which were digi's. They were quick, but didn't have an urgency about them, as in, throttle response etc. But then after that he bought an 89' digi with 188,000 miles that felt "rapid!!" ( tongue: ) and quicker than all the other tidy, properly set up, big bumpers that he previously owned before.

We thought it must of been a cam in there, or a 2 litre bottom end or something but later found out it there wasn't, and in fact it was stock and only put out 109 at the fly on the rollers...

Consequently I bought a low mileage 89' digi and it too has got that urgency as well...

Is it the injectors?

Can anybody explain this?


Cheers

Might be barking up the wrong tree but big bumper cars are heavier so that could be a factor.

[Horney]

The earlier cars are a fair bit lighter so the power to weight ratio is improved a bit. The K-Jey cars (Early 8v and all 16v) also have better throttle response at the expensive of economy.

If you already have a Mk3 on your drive, and it can be sat there for spare parts, it
might be better to get a Mk3 16V if you can find a decent one.

A Mk2 is a more fun car though.
