The Bronze one?
One of my all-time faves that, complete in pretty much every way, saw it run at GTI international a few years ago, crazy fast!
Really like to see yours face off against it on the strip - that would be interesting!!!


thats the one hes just in the middle of changing all the running gear over to haldex stuff from the tt its much stronger he broke 4 rally diffs in one year trying to hold the power we have put nitrous on it its now gettin over 500 bhp 0 to 60 under 3 seconds

when mine is done we will race

Quality, not suprised he was frying the rallye setup, should be an even more impressive launcher when he's done!

Ow do matey
Dont want to talk about Christine at the mo...she being held hostage by a dillusional mechanic.
Mike only just getting ready to put the engine in this week...would you believe it took 7 months to get it back off the insurance company after cracking a windscreen.
Anyhow...its all there now...engine...injection and supercharger....should be fun
You still got that gearbox nocking around?

Hmmm..this has turned into an email...sorry peeps

well just finished on a superflow engine dyno
heres the results

671.9 bhp@6300rpm

602 trq@5400rpm

running 17.9 psi of boost

these numbers were without water and meth injection hooked up so i will be over 700hp because intake temps were a little high

with a pulley change will easy make 900hp
