Mate, there sh1t cause the mk3 weigh's so much!! great in mk1 or 2 though.
Shoulda gone for the valver if any gti IMHO like i said to you charlie. Nearly same performance to VR when slightly tweeked

Subject: Re: my first mk3 gti !!!!! Tue May 27 2008, 22:56

outperform a VR with KR exhaust cam, panel filter and decent exhaust. Factory detuned.

edit : the 16v i mean

Subject: Re: my first mk3 gti !!!!! Wed May 28 2008, 05:15

think the 8v is a factory 10 second 0-60, slow mate!

Subject: Re: my first mk3 gti !!!!! Wed May 28 2008, 09:33

yeah there not a great performance car in anyway but they are comfortable to drive

The engines suck though as standard.. like what 2bhp increase over the mk2 with 200cc more? They have a very soft cam for emissions, cat restricting flow, a single butterfly throttlebody which isnt very big.. a crap management system. Put a PB head on the 2.0 bottom end in a mk1 or mk2 then were talking like lee says.
