The EP3 model (2002-2006) very rarely make 197bhp as standard - some as low as 160bhp, the 2007 onwards are usually bang on (I've had both the old & the new :happy2:)
The lack of torque will mean they will struggle to keep up with a torquey TDI which has roughly the same power :wink: especially if your already moving
You have to be a VERY good driver to get the most of a type-r, if you change gear to early you will miss the power band :sad1:
Beattie:
It was fun anyway. He kept coming closer and even tried to undertake me lol but i kept pulling away and you could see him trying. Good fun but wont make the mistake of a making it a habit or my clean lisence wont be clean for very long.

I've not heard of a k20 making much if any less then its quoted figure :-s
I agree with you about driving them properly to keep it in vtec though, that takes a bit of getting used to!
Back on topic...car looks great. I'm seriously thinking about swapping the GTi for a diesel!

Car looking sweet. I got a 140 pd leon and from a rolling start a type r only edges in front. These pd140's are very impressive once maped.
