Some entertaining stuff!

At the end of the day the R32 has to put the power through a big differential to get it to the ground so its WHP will be similar to that of many other low hp 2wd cars.

I remember the days of beating impreza's with big power figures in my RWD silvia.

DUBWAYDAN - Whats the full spec on the car? The chap on R32oc were on about the dump valve noise? Guessing thats aftermarket?

engine spec:

bmc cda filter
forge bov spacer
revo stage 1

a few of those r32 guys seem a bit snobby when it comes to 'lesser models; as they refer to them.

i have only replied to the post letting the guy know what it was and theyre sayin stuff like they'd prefer to walk than drive my car  :grin:

think theyre just jealous i can get 39mpg  :evilgrin:

"Lesser Models" ?? Hardly, with R prices through the floor there's nout in the price. I'd much rather own an ED30 than an .:R

Thats probably a fair comment. But if your not doing many miles, then MPG figures are just numbers at the end of the day.

I've heard about these spacers/adapters which supposedly make a true atmospheric dump of the usually recycled air. Not sure how well this would go down with the DSG box. In the past I have always found fully atmospheric dump valve's tended to make gear changes very lumpy. (In contrast to the smooth change the DSG box has.)

Heres interesting reading:

R32 Power-to-weight = 163 bhp/tonne

ED30 Power-to-weight = 167 bhp/tonne

GTi Power-to-weight = 148 bhp/tonne

All information taken from parkers "facts and figures" website using stock figures.
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/

I know which one I'd choose, oh wait, I already did.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

That coming from someone who previously said that there were some 'mature' comments being made on this site. Get off your high horse Jules.
