p plate legal golf

[Yevvy]

Probably allowed due to the fact it was easier to ban turbo's than crack down on cars with power figures over a certain amount.

Also how many P Platers do you see driving an R32/R20?

err a lot actually! lots of hooked up asian kids drive them (not being racist, its just a fact )

Yeah it is, only 128kw. Expensive car to maintain though.

I wasn't 'hooked up'. I own an R32.

I could SWEAR that the R32 WAS on the banned list. But I am led to believe they 'reviewed' the rules, to allow for V6 cars under 200kW.

In answer to original question:

Gav is pretty much making the most sense.

Having a light, fun and nimble car will be great. Without spending too much money on ppower gains with negligible returns, you can save for other things.

If the R32 isn't for you, buy a Mk5 GTD Sport and flash-tune it.

I really really really really really really wish I had done that

i'm not saying that everyone who bought an R was 'hooked up'. its just i see heaps of them around chatswood with red p plates on with bumpers all scratched up because they can't drive for ****. an example a couple of years ago when my classmate just got his p's, mummy and daddy bought optioned up mk5 r32 for him. i worked all my arse off and could only afford an '01 bora with over 170k on the clock. so don't take is as an offense

I bet you get more satisfaction from driving your car though.. I know I do when I drive my Jetta as opposed to driving my old Bora that my parents bought me. Sure I can't do as much as I use to, but at least this car is mine (or St George's.. Whichever way you wanna look at it ) and mine only.

Back on topic though; would extractors and exhaust make a difference on a 1.6/2.0 Golf?
