Cheers, and yes I am :) I recognise your name and car :)

Thanks JD, very kind of you. I do love it. If you're thinking of one or an R32/A3 then I'd suggest you drive them all first. I've driven the R32 (latest one) and I have to say I was disappointed, it felt heavy and a bit clinical. Both the R32 and the A3 will be a good 100kgs heavier than the...

Sounds about right judging by it's performance, as mine is probably around 185bhp/tonne. :approve:

And didn't you just give it some. I knew it was something special when you started to pull away, fair play! Any idea what power it's putting out? Hope to see you around again.

Cheers mate. Yeah, fwd, but i've fitted an LSD which helps reduce torque steer and certainly helps get the power down in corners. Book figure is 250bhp I think. Mine was 'rolling roaded' at Awesome GTI and showed 253bhp.

Thanks 'jesus'. Being an Everton fan (that's where I was coming back from when I spotted Jord), I always said I'd never have a red car. But, of the 147's I looked at this was by far the nicest one, and in by far the best condition. I've done 30k miles in it since I owned it, and in that time...

Sure. Standard they are 250bhp and weight a pretty lardy 1300kg. Mine is pretty standard apart from: Q2 LSD CSC cat-back exhaust (noise) Autodelta induction kit (noise) Uprated brakes from 305mm Brembo's to 330mm Brembo's. I've had it 15 months and can't see myself changing it for anything...

That's the one. Great car. Reading the build thread you can see he's put a lot of time, effort and money into that car, and it certainly paid off. Sounded good too. Bah. Anyone lend me £5k to supercharge my car? I might keep up with him then, until we came to a corner anyway! :rasp:

Hi all I'm not a regular on here, but wanted to put this 'spotted' up. Coming along the East Lancs about 18:00 today, heading eastbound at the Golborne roundabout I thought I'd take it at speed and power out of it. Just had to time it right for this little mk1 Clio to go past first... :hail...
