Cool

Depends! 20VT suggests you have a Fiat Coupe which can do some pretty devistating things to scoobys from 40+ when tuned up

Of course, where do you live?

Saxo Boy , been reading your threads on what to get next ie CTR , Cup etc , how about trying an Integra Type R , talking about the old one essentially but the new one looks pretty interesting , just a thought really as I'm looking to change my 99UK Turbo at present & these two are certainly on my virtual shopping list so to speak.Then again theres about 35 others aswell !!!!!!!!
I'll probably keep the scoob in the end anyway!!!!

Talking

Kenny, my guess is that the 20VT is from the VAG stable ie a 20 valve Turbo. Guessing here at a Seat as it couldn't be one of them slow Skodas

Oh and my choice between the 2, get the Cup. It'll suit you more based on the impression I get that you like to go on more "interesting" roads rather than cruising the motorways. Its cheaper so the co car tax will work out less as well.

And the best bit, I think its got a baffled fuel tank with dual pickups, no more fuel surge

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah

When is the new teg out? I can't only go for new cars as I'll be getting it through the Council so that I don't have to worry about anything other than fuelling it

New teg looks good I must admit

Tavia,

Not VAG me thinks.
It will be an FCT, the real 20vt
Just hope he's modded cos SB is. Wouldn't want him to let the side down

p.s. the cup sounds like a pretty tasty little motor
shame i don't have a brightness / contrast adjusment fascility on my media player. all i can see is a dark sky!

it seems to me like we need a track day shoot out organised!

something similar to the Top Gear track, relatively safe with decent spin off areas...

think of the fun we could have with all our different cars going against the clock!

Reckon you might need to work on your car a little to compete with SB. His is quite fast i believe.

Be interesting to hear how it goes if you hook up anyways

MY99 Impreza with some mods. I was kind of hoping a car that can do 0-100 in about 12.5s could at least be regarded as reasonably quick and escape the tag of 'slow' enlighten me
