I watched that on the orignal thresd and whooo that is already bloody quick, cant wait to see what it will be like with the r32 lump in it?

What the feck was wrong with the R32 to begin with!?

From what i read it had major subframe damage? Does look like  it already had started to be stripped down.

it looks very bent on those front chassis legs. plus you can see the airbag has gone off on the passenger side, sounds like a front end accident.

Yeah it does look like front end damage, bit supprised that with that sort of damage to the subframe that the engine was all ok?

sounds like it could just be a show-mobile earning scene points. I would imagine the excercise of endowing it with 500bhp is for bragging rights only!

or it could be like Andy Waite's 1.8T Haldex 4wd Mk1, that runs 9.8s@145mph at Santa Pod......

no but wasn't that just because it was running well this year?

I've seen the 'rocco before, running mid 10s, at inters Andy's problem will have been traction off the line

It was running rough, it had boost issues and was spluttering and conking out at launch when I saw it... Apparently it kept blowing boost hoses.

aaah fair enough, seeing it run 9s at GTi Fest was something aweeeesome
