ILMAO here we go - get ready for the fights 

The R32 sounds soooo sweet 

Thanks for the Gift

When watching topgear, Clarckson states the maximum BHP for front wheel drive is 220.  So what is the point of tuning the GTI, unless your going to fit 4 motion, and then you might as well go for the R32 anyway.

Hello torque steer!

And Goodbye Front tyres

You should try a modded VXR!!!!!   

My mates chipped VXR is all over the road finding somewhere to put the power down!  It's been tuned to allow some acceleration in first and second, but blimey it struggles!  but once up there, bloody hell it's quick!!!  Not my kinda motor, to chavy but it's got it's place.....

Re R32 and Gti article, it's cool....  Each pig to it's own turnip and all that 

[AndyC]

Vauxhall Astra chassis have always been known for letting there horses escape.  What use is all that power, if you cant put it on the road.  My brother had a Astra GSI, K plate, with no modifications and that was the same.

Hello guys, should'nt listen to Clarkson he just talks out of his backside. The vaxhall will torque steer as they can't make a decent chassis.  The golf's MKV chassis how ever is a differnt story. I've had a Morego 250 upgarde and still with all that power and torque going through the frount wheels.Theres very little torque steer. The modifide frount wish bones and yokohama AVS sport may be helping to but sod tyre wear and fuel consumption if thats a problem buy a old fieta. How good a car is the MKV GTI  ! Everything you'll ever need from a car, exept rear wheel drive.

   Nice one fella, I spoke to morego the other day.  These guys sound pretty decent, what are your thoughts?
