More power for my driver!!!!!!!

Lofty, not meanin to be rude mate but how old are you and who are you insured with? Im 20 and insured by brentacre, wicked guys there that helped me out a lot, but unfortunately i smashed my little clio into a barrier 2yrs ago and the council charged me £2000 for the metre strech of barrier i dented. combined with the price of the written off clio my insurance headed skywards. A gti conversion or 1.8t is the plan for when i get back from travellin but for the moment the 1.6 is stayin where it is.

21...been driving 3 years and the last claim was for some sucker trying to steal my car...and i am with elephant

Cheers Slick, Lofty. That was the thought rollin round the back of my mind i just didn't wanna accept it!

[Dizzie]

I hope you're declaring these engine modifcations...

[firstVW]

[Judderi]

Do you declare all slick? Youve got cams and stuff in yours havent you?

[Agreeable Slick]

Mines all declared just cos i can't be bothered with the hassle of it all if something was to go tits up.

[Judderi]

So what exactly have you decalared? who are you with?

Ah.. if only I had a £1 for everyone who suggests getting a GTi if you've got a Driver, a 16V if you've got an 8V, a 2L 16V if you've a Std 16V , or a VR6  or a Saturn 5 etc etc etc.
If you want more go from a Driver fit a GTi cam, which is a cheap and fairly simple job. I'm not sold on changing the manifold unless you've done other mods. From there it depends on how much you want to spend. I'm building a 2L block with a modded late GTi head and either a 266 or 276 cam. And that little lot should give me something approaching 130bhp and a nice pile of torque.
Sure I could go get a 16V or fit another engine but I don't want to, I like the simplicity of a carb after having had K-jet and Digifant fun and games in the past. Oh and I'm putting the Driver badges back on, because there's nothing like a Q car for p***ing Mercs and Beemers off.

All I can say to you Driver owners is.... Get a real car. And a job. You student hippes.

Oh there's always one. Actually sunshine I'm old enough to be most folk on here's Dad, never a student or a hippy and if I want to go quicker than your GTi - regardless of what's in it - I'll get one of the bikes out.
