yes but they arent making them any more, so that is hardly a valid comment. there are lots of cars like that on the road, so that argument, well isnt actually.

[VeeDubGTI16v]

[Cupra Turbo]

cos there great

[Veedubgt18v]

if you live on a houseboat on the thames!  

besides great aint that good  

[Cupra Turbo]

?? ... at least mines worth more  

anywayz, I'll have a 150Bhp mk4 next year when I hit 20.

And that'll thrash ur 8v.  

[Veedubgt18v]

yeah by which time i will have it chipped, cam'd, ported and it will STILL be lighter than yours,mk3 or mk4! you cant get away from the fact oyur car, and your future car    are lardy

[Cupra Turbo]

hmm ok

Chip a normally aspirated engine... yep thats POWWA for ya.

... and the other bits ... do em ...

I'll chip my nice turbo to 190Bhp ... ciaobella.  

[Veedubgt18v]

errr.........

you dont even own a 20vt yet!

everyone is allowed pipedreams!  

[Veedubgt18v]

besides possibilities

cam
chip

= 140+bhpish
then port/polish

then short block 2.0

then lighten balance flywheel crank etc

uprate fuel pump and ancillaries

then turbo/supercharger

still gonna have more bhp/tonne than you and weigh less.

20v-T into a mk3, mk2 or mk1. I know which my choice would be.
You cant blame Black for loving his mk3, what experience does he have when it comes to driving fast cars? No disrespect, mate, but when you have been driving a few years, you would have experienced a lot more cars, and have a better basis for comparison.
I have owned and driven everything from 2CV's to fully fledged rally cars, and I get the biggest kick out of older hot-hatch style cars, as the fun hasnt been electronically stolen from you or been limited by some new EU governing law!
