Lets be honest for 30 seconds, not being harsh but the 2.0 is a waste of space really best thing to do is run it for a short term then look at trading it or moving it on for at least a 1.8t if nothing else.

i totally aggre with wayne and others on here who have the common sense and knowlege of these engines and experience in sublty modifying cars.
its really not worth making a car something its really not got the potential to be to begin with. swapping out engines to make something you can buy with the same engine doesn`t really make any sense as its only going to cost you more and make your insurance alot higher.
listen to the adivce on here as these people have the experience in the subject to know what they are talking about.



if that makes any sense   :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

If you want a nice car to drive, then the 2.0 8v is alright, so long as you don't want ultra performance.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

I agree - I have a 2.0 8v and it drives loads better than many of the other cars I have had. Granted it won't ever be a track legend but you can still have plenty of "fun" in it.

My biggest issue is the other half who drives it like a go-kart  :laugh:

Just think who would buy it wen for the same money you could buy a 1.8t!

You would sell it to the next person, like yourself, that saw it and thought thats the one for me.

It caught your eye, and you bought it, there will be another that thinks exactly the same as you...
