Never noticed that - LOL, im not sure but I think the power can easily be upped as its set up for drive-ability. Imagine the bad press for a 250bhp FWD car!
As for the sh1te engine I think Sunny was running 300bhp+ out of his Zetec turbo Fiesta and there is many others with large powered zetec...
I read that yesterday and they didnt like the CTR did they! Its had quite a lot of criticism for its handling.
I know the Focus has its power restricted for 1st and maybe 2nd gear to help traction and torque steer.
LOL Yeah he took even more than me - it was some trek, we left Inverness at 9am or so and got back at just after 8pm:o I drove on bl00dy single track roads for about 100miles!
Just wondering - especially for a Willie what difference there is if any? I have read a bit about the Hillpower ones but its far easier to get mine superchipped way up here!
Beware of power claims - especially ones like this! Some of the guys on here will know what that mods are likely to give a valver. I dont think its 150bhp tho. If hes had it Rolling roaded then fair enough!
The problem usually is the people selling these mods (chips etc.) to Joe Bloggs tell...
Well I spoke to hime yesterday about this - we had covered most of our miles at around 50-60 mph and he got 23mpg - this was under 3,000 rpm the whole way. He did say what other owners were getting but I can remember!
Normal Turbo, never driven a WRX STI. His was a Classic shaped W reg with 218bhp . Its hard to explane really as the Scoob is awesome but the RX seems to give loads of feel and seems better fun. Mind you I find my Willie better fun than the scoob by a long way - the scoob is too composed maybe...

The Willie stuffed the "alleged" 300bhp RX7:devilish: Sorry to dial-up guys about the pics!

Well its my cousins RX7 and hes still running in the engine after a rebuild so cant go over 3,000 Rpm which gave me a small advantge ;). Due...
Never had to deal with renault yet but most forums are full of posts about bad service and un-reliable cars. I must admit that new clio owners appear to have more problems than most newer car owners but its down to luck. Renualt do appear to be slow/bad at sorting out problems. Ive had more...
I would never been seen dead in it with that colour scheme but I think it looks very cool. I hate virtually anything other than std normally - the std 206 is very boring too look at.
Turbo, Niccceee!! My cousin gets his RX7 back next week after its engine rebuild, it should have 300bhp - he is going to try and get 2,000 miles needed to run it in (under 3,000rpm) on the clock before the Rolling Road 7 days later:o I think hes planning a trip to Johnogroats then lands end!
I cant resist!!

Tesco have been cheapest for me on my last 2 cars. Before that was Hyperformance and before that was Admiral. It seems to change most years but all the info (age, car etc.) means they can be quite different for everyone. I usually call at least 10 each year!!
Anyone taken theirs off a Phase1/2. I have a loose nut or something behind mine I want to sort but the haynes manual appears to show glue!! I am wondering how easy it is to take off and also out back on?

RobFenn hasnt posted yet! His responses to decent looking cars arent usually restrained so Im looking forward to his post!
Maybe its RobFenns car!:o
I have the autocar test where the Willie got 7.7 to 60 and it was Done in the Wet!! The car did 30-70 in 6.9secs and was a new car needing run in. Autocar say both the things gave what they thought was a highish 0-60 figure.
The Corrados are gorgeous but got discontinued according to a VW mag...
