how can you say a wrx is poo- my boyfriend has a bugeye one and they are fantastic cars- the accelerarion is amazing and nothing will beat them in windy roads

Are you sure yours isnt mapped? Sometimes i struggle with TypeR's and i'm circa 220bhp but obviously run out off puff quite early. What does yours boost to?

Mine is bog standard, If you struggle with civics then it must not be right. I 2 of my mates have civics and one has an integra. Not one is quicker of the mark and rolling starts i lose them. get to 130mph and it is a different story.

their good round windy roads, sound pretty good, THATS IT

otherwise they are poo,
i cant believe you say the acceleration is amazing? its not, they get beat ALL the time, my mates got a WRX so i know exactly how fast they are, you get used to them in the rear view mirror, never get passed

My mates was a bug eye one and he didn't even rate the handling. His DC5 is now on coil overs, but a rally bred car he expected better!! Not to keen on the boxxer sound either!!!!

a corsa? what engine did that have in?

2l nova will be FAST, like sticking a turbocharged engine into a shoe box, theirs nothing to them, would NEVER have one tho

Both of them were 2ltr 16v on throttle bodies. 1/4 mile he said was around 13 secs. They were both stupidly fast!!!! But not an everyday car. were as mine is.

theirs a blue corsa round ours with a 2l 8v in, that moves, i was pulling so so slightly on him, i think after about 3/4 of a mile i had only pulled about a car length and a half

This is a 2ltr 16v, so was the nova. Throttle bodies sound so fit!!!!!

I think they are producing nearly 200bhp in a stripped out hatch which weighs less than a fart in the first place!!!

lol, that tickled me that, i bet that goes like stink !!!

No word of a lie we were both 2 up, he saw me, slowed down to about 30 i was level with him on dual carriage way nothing infront and we both booted it and he wheel span away from me.

sounds quick, thats almost exactly like me and the integra , except it was me doing the spinning away

Your pal might not of rated the handling but take a look at lap times of the 2 cars and that will show you the cornering ability of the scoob- i have to admit though the wee front lights are not to easy on the eye!

Does VAG-COM give a read out of bhp and torque? I know it wont be that accurate but just wanted to know either way

When i had mine done on VAG COM i got 183bhp but when i had the car done on the Rolling Road i got 157bhp

I would get it done on the Rolling Road to confirm but some people say its better to get it done on two Rolling Roads and see as they all vary
