  1. Mmmmm I do believe that you cannot force induct a 2-stroke motor!!!!! it just won't work!!!!
  2. yellow!!!!!!! what a great colour 8) aye! you can't run atmospheric dump valves on 1.8t motors without changing the engine management system!
  3. No Shirts :( Bet they are stuck in customs or summat! Bathtubs that they are!
  4. i'd go for the leon over the golf anytime! has more power, better spec and cheaper to boot! what about the octavia Vrs??? it's still vag, but badge snobbery........but hey, if it's ok for plod then it must be good!!!!
  5. you can get 200 bhp out of a valver...........will cost you mind, but you can!
  6. i test drove a std cupra 1.8t before i got my c......what a bag of poo! my corrado is faster! need em chipped to be anywhere half decent!
  7. saw the beginnings of a mid engined rwd vr turbo at inters one year.... dunno what became of it, but as i have said before, look how crappy dubsports orange rwd mk1 turned out! As in being able to put it's power down........
  8. but the radical isn't really a road car is it????? at least the Ruf was!
  9. hartlepool......... Wow someone fairly local :) You're not trying to find stuff out 'cos you've been whupped by a Blue one or a Yellow one are you???? Steve
  10. 968 Club Sport.....Voted the Best Handling front Engine RWD Car Ever! And you can get them in Yellow :)
  11. Errrr...... Had her nearly a year: On 2nd Set of Front tyres...Toyo Proxes are Shit! Just Replaced Rears Drivers Door Handle Parcel shelf....4 one that had already been butchered for speakers Front O/S Indicator Rear Lights for cool M3 stlye Ones O/S bottom balljoint Both strut tops N/S front wheelbearing and drive flange Sump.....seen how low my car is! 2x Rear flexi brake hoses 2 x rear callipers replaced with pissrat ones Soon to be added: Gas Flowed and Rebuilt Head Schrick 260 Fast Road Cams 50mm Inlet Magnex 4-Branch VR6 Chasing here I come :)
  12. It isn't always in the tank, on a 1.8 Valver or G60 it is mounted just in front of the axle on the drivers side!
  13. aye was thinking of that option too......but 944 turbo route!
  14. aye summat like that, TBH When I had my ABF'd MK2, a mate of mine had done the same conversion done to his MK2 but with the KR inlet cam mod, and whupped him everytime when we were drag racing at croft! Tee Hee! He was quite annoyed :)
  15. Think its 3 or 4.......Each time with Tommi Mak at the Helm!
  16. 150 or 160, with the KR cam mod about 175, as riley says!
  17. ABF motor is from either a MK3 GTI 16V or a Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport, they are a "Tall Block" 2 litre 16v with Electronic Fuel Injection, so fully mappable, 150Bhp std........ 9A motor from the C and pissrat is KE-Jetronic, mecanical and electrical injection, but has a crank sensor which KR motors dont have! ABF with cams, headwork, balance, chip and filter you are looking at maybe 195+bhp, add throttle bodies and talking 220+ easy! I have driven an ABF converted MK2 and although torqey, they just don't rev as well a the 1.8's! I deffo prefer the KR motors, torque is for lazy people :)
  18. Saw down Everything......Lol! I'd still keep the C, it would be my cherished weekend toy! I disagree with them having no style......They are brutal in your face cars, designed with one purpose only, Winning the WRC championship, which it has done several times! They are a big 2 fingers to the rest of the motoring world, it may lots of sticky out bits but at least they are there for a reason! If I can spend 7grand and go and destroy some ferrari and porka owners egos then it gets the vote for me :) Nissan 200 is a no no, has to be 4WD, as PhatVR6 will agree, me and RWD would just not mix :)
  19. Nowt wrong with a valver! It may not have the noise of a VR or the whine of a G60 but it dunt half scream, and mine loves being sunk into 7 grand :)
  20. mmmmmmm! In the words of Austin Powers............... "How About Noooooo" Steve
  21. Hey! Be Nice! The 3 is one of quickest Evo's, Ther is no real difference between the 5 and 6, agree the 3 doesn't look as good as 5's onwards (Apart from the 7 which looks s**t) but it grows on you.......Plus it's half the price of a 5 or 6 with almost the same performance! steve
  22. I am really drawn to the 3's......Like the 5's too! also the 3's have a better PtW Ratio than the later cars and no horrid electronic gubbins like AYC to go wrong!!! And just found a yellow one :) http://www.carnetonline.co.uk/
  23. Arrghhh! I love my C and have just spent lots on go faster bits, but......... http://www.lancerregister.com/showthrea ... adid=69447 I really really want one 8) This one is mint and only 20min up the road Just got an online quote too of £1345.67 FC Mmmm what about both :twisted: steve
