  1. 16v head? they 16v g60s apparently make that sort of power.
  2. lovely car, but imo the wheels look a bit daft. I would get some tyres that actually fit the wheels ot reduce the width of the wheel. just my opnion, I cant stand that euro stretched tyre shyte
  3. they are non existant. Never made Mine used to a a vr6 though (converted) in a previous life
  4. yeah probablies, I hope you are rich!
  5. very very nice mate. Those wheels set the car off a treat. I will be will pleased if my car turns out anything like yours. Well played

    2.1 16v turbo

    it will work in a fashion. all it means is that it wont be much quicker than a car with less horses. the extra power just gets spun away. I saw a cracking example of this at the VW Audi croft trackday. a ihi seat ibiza cupra with 350 bhp, just could not put the power down at all, you could hear it spinning the wheels on about 3-4 seperate occasions on the same corner as he tried to put the power down then had to back off then tried again then had to back off etc. Point it in a straight line and it was like a bullet though!
  7. lol - perhaps we should write a complaint in that he wasnt going fast enough, and in fact we believe he may have bottled it, the soft poof lol :lol:
  8. I'm with Dr_Mat on this one, You will be thanking him for that practise session when hes gunning the vectra up the motorway chasing the scrote that just nicked your VR eh? eh? eh? :D
  9. Mint! I would have been over the moon! :D
  10. well my sister owns a 318is, seems pretty solid, but very underpowered. apart from that I thought it was a nice car. My girlfriend owns a mazda mx-5 10th anneversary and that is a blast! one of the best cars I have ever driven! if it were mine I would be shortly affixing a supercharger to the motor to boost its power output to 'loonatic acceptable' levels. All said I would still have my corrado over them all
  11. I like that - I like BMs too, I dont understand where all the hatred comes from? the 328 when you look at it is a proper drivers setup - its not the green eyed monster is it? I'd have an e36 M3 (if our lass would allow me to have yet another car lol)
  12. very smart mate - how close are you to being on the road then?
  13. Is this another reason to buy a 24v lump? :roll: :lol:
  14. unlucky - we had about 5 minutes today where it absolutely p1ssed down
  15. them seats were electric cloth recaros, ultra rare and worth a bit of money. I wouldnt pay that for them, but someone did as they had a sold sticker on them.
  16. and you do realise you will be dead easy to spot out and about as you will be the one with the face tan from your dashboard lol :lol:

    G60 IHI Turbo

    Let us know what its like when you get time I take it its a turbo conversion on a g60 lump?
  18. yeah but I would imagine the extra 2-3 grand on the price of the engine tends to have a marked effect of people purchases......they may be the same design engine, but money wise at the moment they are in a totally different league to the 2.8 motor. I totally disagree about peoples lack of interest in the 2.8 24v - its a much better engine than the 2.9vr and from a slightly smaller capacity. Its very easy to say stuff like 'bah may as well just go for the r32', and thats fine if your names rockafella, but most mortals dont even have the funds for a 2.8 swap let alone the r32 lump. Thats not me being bitter cos I have a 2.8 either, as I will be supercharging my 2.8 in the not too distant future (parts purchased awaiting fitment). But I am well happy to run the car in standard 2.8 24v normally aspirated mode for a long time and prove that its a much more advanced, potent engine than the old vr. (not that I am knocking the vr btw because I think they are great engines) my 2p, from someone who is actually 'doing it'
  19. unless you have a 6 speed box, best of both worlds :)
