look circa 10s to 60... Not going to set the world on fire. You can get a chip to up them to 100bhp apparently, then I guess mods like airbox/exhaust to make a max of 105 before spending money?

It's basically a restricted version of the 1.8 gti 8v engine from the mk2.

However, what they lack in speed, they respond very well in suspension tuning! And they look soo much better than anything else. And to top it off, they don't have an ecotec lump! Get a red top cav if you must

cool its for insurance reasons why i cant get the gti or a redtop as i have 6points  and coming from a 1.6 crx im finiding it veryhard to settle for something slow
