I'm tempted to rock up in the golf for one of these jap only cruises, watch them have a whinge lol

give it a miss pat for the 11bty time! haha

yeah, Billy's car pulled it off. You need lots more low and much better sizes offset if you go that path

Kind of sad that the Fabia RS (1.4L twincharged) is faster than the 86, despite less power and roughly the same weight :/

It's 3-4k cheaper too...shame it looks like a smashed crab.

have a lot more torque though and that's what will win it

Bout 50nm more, still, for the size of the engine and the fuel economy it gives, it's got more impressive performance. I think that might be faster than the Polo GTI?

Why couldn't the friggen 86 at least be moderately quick, even a 7 second 0-100 would have me buy one :(

Hold out for that TRD version...or join Alex with the 300C...

Yeah probably is, I've heard of a guy that has a Skoda Octavia (wagon) TSI and that has beat a few Golf GTI's which run the same engine, well the whole running gear actually; just the body is different

The 1.4 twin charged engine isn't in the polo's though, they run a 1.8T, only the Golf GT's came with 1.4TC and they are pretty fast

So for it to be faster than a Polo to is pretty good

2011 and newer polo GTI have the 1.4TC and 7spd DSG.

basiclly deciding between the 86 and the gti atm.

correction - a front wheel drive smashed crab

Wheels mag tested it at 6.8

This is interesting...I wonder how repeatable it is, because this time would match the on paper stats. Yet Toyotas official figures say mid to high 7s and low 8's for the respective gearboxes and I can't see why they'd stay conservative about the test figures...that's something high performance cars usually do :/

manifold and rear housing have 'broken in' car no longer sounds like a tractor...

lol crap, SR20 = forever tractor.

It really doesn't. Sounds like those hyundais or lancer mirage things you see going around with random cannon tips

Good thing varex is there. Driving around with the f**ker off lol

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
