Drove MK3 16 Valve yesterday

I was just pointing it out. It's academic anyway, as BHP doesn't exist, right?

 

I think they are quite quick when driven properly.
They grip well, have good brakes and the engines are bomb proof.
Maybe you just can't drive

It's mainly the gearbox... I'm gonna try a 3.94 r&p and report back

 

ABf in a mk2 is the compromise, just like mine! It got an indicated 140mph (private road ossifer) and had plenty left in it.

 

Agreed

 

see sig

if the bloody insurance company allow it

38k with FSH and RR'd at 164bhp and 142lb/ft

 

NIIICE!!! Did you see the one for sale on eGay with lots of parts lifted from a complete Seat Cupra?

 

naw. has it finished? you got a link handy?

 

You must have driven a dud IMHO, granted you do have to rev them up past 4k, but when you do they really shift. Standard they are 150bhp, mine is doing 164bhp last time it was RR`d(before the Jetex). My previous Mk2 valver was about the same, although I think the Mk3 is actually a bit more eager to rev. Drive another, and rev the bugger!

 

Sorry, missed your reply... I'll try and dig up the link...

 

Couldn't find it, it must've ended; was a nice car, though, had all the Seat interior and even a swap to cable change (why you'd bother, I don't know, but anyway...)
