Woohoo, i knew it was a stupid question but i wouldnt of found out as easy without you guys (and your pictures). :)

Did i also read somewhere about the 150's having diff exhausts throughout the range (tdi, fr, fr+) ?



NEVER ! Il always love bikes :p

This is my current bike.

Figures of around 120bhp at the rear wheel, top speed 180 GPS speed 162 i think, not being big headed but would leave most cars on the road, thats due to the fact it weighs feck all and has a nice amount of power :)

Ahhhh, I know a Ninja, I have always wanted one in Black with the gold rims. There is one other bike I really like, it only has a single, diamond shaped headlamp, led rear lights but no-one knows what I am on about when I try to explain it. Maybe I dreamt it :D

you going for the 130 or 150??

Im in two minds..as you said yourself you can buy a 130 for alot less and have money to spare for spending it on the car..however the 150 is still very tempting. What sort of speeds will the stock 130 and 150 pull ? I know we can only do 70 legally but its still nice to know !

And Jason...you will need a hell of a budget to service one of those ! Its like..the alpha romeo of bikes lol

there actually the lcr wheels as there 18 inch the fr+are 17s but yeah straight fit
i bought it standard and going from a mk3 golf tdi110 with 180k on the clock it was fast, then the map to 176bhp and 290lb ft was crazy, but you get used to it see, but with my other mods fmic, removed the pancake pipe zorst etc i gained 30bhp and 20lb ft torque all for a total of ***** lol

Looks asthough a 130 would be a jump going from a 1.4 grande punto then ! lol. Still...the 150 is cheap enough on insurance...

i would hazard a guess that the 150 is more common than the 130, i think most diesels were either 110 or the 150

but you have to remember if you get the 130 you may wish you had got the 150 instead

I wouldnt say thats true, theres quite a few 130's about ! And thats what im thinking about the 130/150 debate, i can either buy a 130 and have money spare ( i have 7grand atm ) or see if i can get a nice 150 and have cash spare..or just find a decent 150, as sad as it sounds ide prefer to find a stock one, atleast then when i do the mods i will know they are done properly. Same with bikes..ide get a stock bike then do my own mods so i know they have been done properly, no cut corners.

only thing that different in the 150 are the kit, seats (if you get a fr) and fmic as standard
i uprate the fmic to a better allard one, getting the fr seats an got lcr kit all for less than the fr will cost alone lol
swings and roundabouts really

sorry i think strug has explained it better, if you are going to spend money on modding a 130 to look like a 150 you may as well get a 150 as it will probably cost you the same or ever less to get the same looking car

just as a head up, my fr tdi which is an 05 plate which came with 37k on the clock from the dealer cost me 8.5k. private or non dealer i am sure you could get cheaper for a 150, especially if its a year or 2 older with a few more miles
