One with cold air ducting one without I believe. Ive got the one without and it sits right at the front of the engine bay and gets air from gap between bumper/headlight/bonnet. Not a lot of room for ducting anyway!

Seized brake calipers, knackered wheels bearings, clutch, sh*t handbrake, cracked brake disc, wheels not holding pressure and broken alarm. Apart from that its been plain sailing!

Seems very quick, which Gsi is it? *edit* Just seen the other thread, nice motor. [Edited by MartinS on 09 May 2004 at 8:44pm]

Seems a bit dodgy to me. Should be quicker tan that 90-100 I think.:confused:

VTR to Williams as well. Different league.:D

Id go for the Cupra purely for the tunability of the turbo engine. Might have to sort the handling out as well though.

Seems good for standard, looks like you could do a 0-100 in less than 20.8 any way. Seems like they had a learner driver doing the testing when they came up with that time!

Cup/172 owners??

Cant wait, should have cams and SMT6 done by then.

Seen it. Didnt want to hijack another thread and I wouldnt have many responses if I just posted on there. Thanks anyway

company are you with ? I am ringing around for re-newal at the moment but Im having no luck. Im 24 3yrs NCB, SP60 and living in a low risk area. My renewal has come through at 1175 TPF&T. Only 100 cheaper than last year, and Ive rung L/Vic, HIC and Greenlight. Two wouldnt cover me:confused: and...

Maybe just the way your tyre sit on the rim, as the wheels are obviously gold all over apart from the silver edge.

Naples red is my favorite standard colour, there is no bad colours though. Id go for one with no rust!!

Timing with a stopwatch is never 100% accurate but I did it five times to get an average result. Im confident my car will do 60-100 in around 9 secs dead all day. Even if I did 65-105 on the clock (to compensate for speedo error) the result wouldnt be that much different. As a comparison I...

I have noticed that a noise on my car that has got louder recently. It a squeeling/screetching noise that I originally thought was the power steering. But it is noticable on startup, going round corners and when I drop a gear to revs above 4000 rpm. Any ideas?

Best for mods? Rang L/Vic and Greenlight and neither could quote me!

A few, mainly stripped out interior and usual breathing mods. Not bad just need some cams/headwork etc now. If I can find some money......

I did five, best was 8.44 worst 9.09. Seems pretty quick, Im trying to work out how the williams takes 20.8 to do 0-100??! [Edited by MartinS on 06 May 2004 at 6:22pm]

Ok, seem to average at 8.8 ish and yes I was that bored!:oops:

OK, would be interesting to get some comparisons, will post mine later.

Or running through from 2nd, might have more momentum than sitting in 3rd?

Ill have a go later.

You only need a helmet at the pod if you are going to cross the quarter at over 100mph!

What is faster a Cup or a standard Impreza turbo?;) hehe

Ive got monacos and 4 point harnesses, look really good imo. However they did give me a numb arse after a hour or more of driving, but Ive got used to them now and have no problems. You dont want to do John o Groats to Lands end but for day to day driving I love them. Get buckets and rip the...

Ok Weight, but I cant see why it bothers you so much. It doesnt bother me in the slightest, just ignore them.

No idea what power it was making but he didnt pull a more than a car length till after 100, which I was happy with. I agree that (some) Cup drivers are constantly striving to prove the performance of their cars but it doesnt bother me.

I am sure they were trying, the R32 was at a meet with us and the Impreza ended up doing over 140 mph! You need a lot more power to make a significant difference in performance on the road.imo

The scooby and the R32 may be better cars in your opinion but different people like different types of car. The difference in performance is not as great as you think either, I enjoyed a bit of enthuisastic driving with a Impreza and a R32 Golf yesterday and I was surprised how well my car kept up.

I dont seem to make any money though.;) With the wheels Id loosen your wallets and buy a new set. I got 4 wheels and centre caps for 820 ish pounds. Dont go through too many tyres though as mine got a slight mark on the diamond cut rim when they swapped the tyres.:(
