    Cheers. No, tuned 8V. Balanced, ported with a 268 cam and adjustable pulley. P-Slots refurbed, but dont look as sweet as the RS.

    Nice Pogo. Purposeful.

    The MkV GTI is a completely different drive to the Octy. Why shouldnt the MkVI? Same as even the lower spec Octy's with sports suspension. There are a few similarities, but overall, even small...

    I totally agree with the handling. The composure in a GTI at 8-9/10ths was staggering, but the speeds necessary to feel it were bordering on ridiculous. For mine, the GTI seemed to have 3 distinct...

    I dig the Skoda. It is a great car. Buuuut, the GTI felt special, the RS doesnt.

    I love how you fan-boyz get all hot under the collar when Skoda doesnt get great press coverage. Even the RS, while being a very capable car, is just not world beating. While all else in its class...

    Yeah, what he said. Its a UK import with some mild work to the engine. All power quotes are at the wheels. It is said that MkII GTI's lose about 20 odd % through the drivetrain, so that should set...
