    172 build quality is sh*t

    I agree, i think bmw do make good engines, even the diesel in the E46 is a corker ! I just think that renault dont make superb engines, and that the italians do make good engines !

    172 build quality is sh*t

    I am on about engines ! read what i type ! Italians make the best engines - simple ! Alfas V6 in 2.5 or 3 ltr, ducatis v-twin, not to mention ferrari, lambo, masserati, lancia, what about fiats 5cyl 2.0 turbo, in the coupe, or even the 1.2 16v in that bloody horrible punto thing. I am not on...

    172 build quality is sh*t

    Why is the engine superb ? is it because it is 2.0 and generates 172bhp. I think the 172 engines sounds and feels rough, it is a good engine, but is no mater peice, not by a long shot ! Honda Vtecs are a superb engine, and master peice of modern technolgy, alfas sound so good ! the french build...

    anyone raced a TT225

    Rallye-king - oh yeah, in a straight line the 106 gti is quicker, but give me a track or my favourite set of lanes, and i would take the mini everytime, also my girlfriend has the sports supsension plus, and with 16 inch alloys, the 17s destroy the ride.

    anyone raced a TT225

    I will agree with you about the TT, they are a lame attempt at a sports coupe, but audi did there job right, cause they sold thousands. I would have thought that a cup would just be able to hold on to the tail pipes of a 225bhp, i raced one in the scoob and was suprised that it didnt dissapear...

    Diesel performance

    A company called Revo-tek, formeley APR are doin flash ecu maps for the VAG TDI PD engines. The 130bhp tdi pd makes 180bhp and 300lb/ft of torque, which is quick in the golf, but in the seat ibiza it makes 7.0 secs to 60 ! watch out boys ! (we are talking quicker in gear times than a UK WRX)...

    Check this out - Scooby vs 172 or Cup

    That was a Uk spec scooby, MY98,99 or 00 215bhp. You can tell by the interior. Sounds as though it has a centre decat and back box, but you couldnt here any turbo whislt, With a decat downpipe, it is loud in the cockpit), so i dont think it had a decat downpipe, also, seemed a bit slow coming on...
