    the power is good but im thinking of upgrading soon the the GT28RS kit its not cheap but with 250 to 300hp at the wheels ill be laughing
    MOAR SORTED MK2's FTMFW, im loving it mate. 300hp would be crazy! Is this a weekend car or a daily?
    Im suprized your not beating quicker cars or havnt you raced any?

    I have read that a vr6 only adds about 50kg to the front over a 16v and a few UK guys who race them (N/A) swear that with a proper suspension set up there is no difference. I don't know that a 20vt would rinse a vrt, after about 300hp which they can both make prity easy it would just come down to traction wouldnt it? As they say there is no replacement for displacement haha. (Lets not turn it in to a vrt vs 20vt thread)

    If you don't mind me asking what did it set you back and wheres the build thread?

    erm well its quick but yer it really depends a 1.8t has nothing on a tuned SR in the range im running it at. The dub has cost me 9 points pre 1.8t hahah so im taking it easy! Oh actually i beat a new for falcon gt6 turbo the guy raced me up to 190 and i was still pulling away ! hahah ooops !

    its more of a WTF car most people are like o what is that thing o its a old golf oh, then oh why is is going so fast it pretty funny that no one know them here so it means you can surprise people all the time! esp mk4 and mk5 GTI owners there my fav kill!

    haaha

    I was lucky enough to go for a spin in this thing on the weekend.

    When it gets to 3500rpm it punches forward hard. Not as insane as Arno's MK1 but I was very impressed, both in speed and the engine bay!

    Well done Tom! Makes me wanna frankenstein mine!
