Looking good mate
Dont feel slow at all, and I can only go upto 5,500 rpm whilst running in - with the odd visit north of that.
Book figure is 7.2 to 62, with the 231 coming in at 6.4 - but the difference in torque means the 192s 220NM give it a better mid-range than the 231, You get a 6 speed box on the 213 with xenons - but 2 grands 2 grand.
Handlins is SUPERB! feels extremely well planted - LSD aswell!
Running on 18" rims, they are fookin huge!! Tyre change time is gonna be interesting!
Sticker the garage put on my 14,800 mile pristine 172!
cheeky barstards!

For the UK market they are 192 and 231 ps - dont know about elsewhere USA???
tbh I am still "running in" so havent got a true feel for the cars performance, but it aint gutless thats for sure!!
a more powerful rotary would be a really wallet scaring thought!! my mpgs bad enough!!
MKIII 138
actually i dont like the sound that much it does scream but its thin and reedy even with a sports exhaust like this...Quote: Originally posted by visceral on 09 July 2005

still really nice looking cars. well built but drink oil like nothing else and do 21mpg average. . but look out in future there gonna be cheap as chips to buy due to high running / servicing costs.
so i agree looks mint sounds OK. Goes OK. Loverly Interior + sound system also has nice Gearbox but its not my kind of sound tbh.
