All the fuss about the 8V...

[Shady Pioneer]

That's crap. Mine were with Bell (same company though). Well I'll try not to rub it in too much if I end up getting a 16v in August and paying less than you.

Bleh. Well my 8V has a special button* that makes it go faster than a Veyron.







*The button in no way actually boosts speed, but instead lights ciggarettes.

Not much in it in terms of MPG tbh.

quite a bit in 0-60 though.

waste of time looking at sh!te like this, in the real world things are different

They were real world road test figures (autocar) I believe.

its all hype  Wayne mate , iv had all 3 of these cars, on paper the VR should be pretty quick but in the real world they aint, especially when a 1.3 gti swift can easily outpace one up to 100 (on paper this is not the case, same for many other cars)

i only ever take these type of figures with a pinch of salt till i have actually driven the car..  did autocar really do the test or did they just get the results from VW.. end of the day you know where im coming from and im sure many wont agree but.....

No they were all real world road tests.

I really want your wheels Kells. Please can I have them? 

 

i love my rims, those and my seats are my fave part of the car tbh

I'll settle for the seats then. You can keep the rims. I'll give you the torn seats from my MK2? 

its a deal

I pay 700.00 ish for my mk2 16v and that's about to come down dramatically when i switch insurer from adrian flux to bell. 330.00 fully comp

Just wondered where the extra 100kg comes from between the 8v and 16v mk3? didn't think the ABF would weigh that much more?

I'd be careful with that change buddy. I assume you're with Adrian Flux on a modified policy? Meaning you'll get like for like on mods for a start. Bell won't do that. You get mod cover but it's rubbish.
