vr6to182cup

back again, just thought id say that i agree on the build quality, but i suppose if your not bothered about that (like me) then its all about fun. and just to correct an older statement, the dif between the 172 and 182 are the inlet and exhaust manifold not the ecu, although it has obviously been remapped for the manifold changes. i had trophy suspension fitted to mine the other day and WOW. im so confident nothing can touch me all the time, im hitting around 260bhp now with my ktek turbo and im so chuffed... next up is deffo the leather trophy buckets from recaro!

hhahahaah, and where the hell did u read that from?! tell you what, pop down to ktek, ill put your on the rollers free. then we can have a race yea!

before i post my comment id like to say a little about my background. i work t k-tek performace tuning and have worked there 7 years, i know a fair deal about cars and performance. up until feb i owned a vr6 corrado but was instructed by a very good friend at autocar magazine to purchase a 182 cup, his exact words were 'this is the best car i have ever driven' of course i laughed but agreed to test drive one. when i got in it i was astonished. it was amazing. and true to his word, an exceptionl car. now down to the business. we tested the car 0-62 and 0-100 and it was considerably quicker than an r32 (of which i almost brought, and still love) the 0-60 time will really astonish people, it was 6 seconds flat. now correct me if im wrong (which i know im not becuase i have had my old car tested many times) the vr6 is around 8ish to 60 and 19secs to 100. sorry guys but a 182 really does destroy the vr6. and as for that man with the 8v golf! HA what a load of rubbish. the best gti ever is the new one and that cracks 0-60 in just under 7 secs! the quickest older golfs do it in well over 8 secs! anyway. i dont like to upset anyone, just thought id put across my opinion and the facts! Oh one more thing, pop down to k-tek coz we tune vws too, had my vr6 at 240bhp if anyones interested in getting bits.
