[Fielder5757]

After an Internet "debate" with somebody i just need to know somthing, What is the top speed you have managed to get out of your Mk2 1.6 Drivers?

i got 115mph on the clocks but that was with moddified engine and dont forget the clocks readings are normally wrong.
oh and it was on private land lol

110mph, with gti gear box,

but i run out of road,,,,,,,,,,,,, mmmmmmmmmmm sorry  i  mean runway,,
yes i run out of abondoned runway

112mph - no mods or upgrades  Had to back off cos there was a corner!! Reckon 115mph is doable. Just need to people to stay in their lanes and not pull out!!

115mph most times but had 120 on a long downhill on a erm runway my 1st one an early model felt rapid, and would get up top end no problem

Hi All,
Had 119 out of mine last weekend on a downhill section of the M4 Between Swindon and Newbury.  Had to back off because I didn't like the sound the engine was making, whining away.
Nearly blew the 'rkin cylinder head gasket! 
My dad runs a 2000 Volvo V70  and that'll happily sit at 120 for hours, grr  Bloody Volvo Drivers!

Of course I'm not advocating breaking the speed limit!

Had 112mph before I had to slow cos someone pulled out infront of me (on a runway of course). Could have gotten more out of it. Its had a bit of a service, new tappets, GTi cam, carb sorted so may squeeze a bit more out of it....

anything over 110 is good for a 1.6 carb what you managed fielder? i never seen you go over 90

there are some pretty rapid drivers by the sounds of it i got to about 105 once but the suspension was so old it was too scary so i backed off remember to take the 10% off for speedo inaccuracies

Think my speedo reads too high! Went past a police display thing (displays your speed) and it was 2-3 mph too high compared to my speedo!
