Hi, I am willing to buy a fast car, but I prefer a hot hatch..

My shortlist are: Colt Ralliart, 206 GTI 180, Polo Gti or a Corolla Tivo..

I like a car with lots of torque in not so high rpm, a great "dancer" and still be able for a daily commuter with high quality and cheap parts, but I dont think that I will modify my car..

Which one is the best for me? Or do you guys have other ideas?

Thanks..

count the rolla out then, no torque and need to rev it hard to get it going..

colt ralliart's look gay but still decent power + you get the awesome mitsu warranty..

dont know much about the 206 or the gti performance wise but id say parts would be more expensive than the corolla..

VW 9N Polo GTi + ECU reflash + rear sway bar = finished

No external mechanical mods means the cops will not be able to find anything to defect you for (and being un-Japanese you won't get as much cop attention in the first place). The thing pulls across most of its rev range and makes really good power for the weight with that reflash. Even when the car's serviced, they might not notice. There's a mode to set the ECU back to stock anyway.

The rear sway bar will dial out a lot of the "OEM safety" understeer, while not making it scarily taily.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
