For the MkII? Yep.
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.
Yippers. Bit dirty, but still kicking out in style. Its rough, but its got character.
Smead, was that you from Kings Ave to Watson this afternoon?
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...
Moot point for the uneducated who arent the type of people who hang out on car forums. They make up a high proportion of buyers, so they see newer release = newer platform. No one needs to convince...
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...
Just throwing a cat amongst the canaries...
I dig the Skoda. It is a great car. Buuuut, the GTI felt special, the RS doesnt.
As for cars in its category that come up trumps, look no further...
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...
Spotted 3 yellow RS wagons in 4 days (maybe the same one) and a blue RS wagon (F/L) yesterday.
I am pretty embarrassed by the state of my car. Hadnt washed it since our inland trip to Orange. Car was disgusting. Although it is only the family car. If I still had my GTI, it would have been...
Was this is D ickson? Blue facelift wagon? I was in a race blue pre face sedan.
Edit: just read the title of your post. You realise you drove past me twice? Only saw me the second time. :D
Spotted a black RS sedan this morning on the Federal Highway whilst riding. Never realised just how high the RS rides. Needs lowering springs to look less Toyota. Its too high and too narrow to look...
Spotted blue facelift RS wagon in ****son tonight.
Honestly. Having owned a MkV GTI and now owning my RS, no one could convince me the RS is a better drive. It is more practical, but it does not perform as well, or as charismatically. The GTI is a...
Spotted red bread and butter model and a minute later a white RS wagon on Lady Denman/ Cotter Road yesterday.
Spotted 4 Skoda Octy's yesterday. Red wagon, white sedan, black sedan and silver wagon. All within 2 hours... I was driving our aRSe. Getting way more popular.
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...
I used to hate the meganes. Now I think they are pretty nice. The hot ones look the biz.
Its more than looks. Its badge cred. It goes/feels like a GTI, but is more practical. It just doesnt have...
Er, yeah, hubs... That was a weird experience.

Jay, if it was SA, it would have epic holes in it by now. Wolfsburg built. :D Cheers.
Jean, what are you having trouble with? I am quoting hp at the wheels, not at the fly. Also, the engine is an...
Hey Mick. Yeah, thought I would open this:

Jeanheide, you are correct with your assumptions on power...
So, if there has been discussion on UK forums, it is clearly a subjective question, then... ;)
I guess it more relates to not having to ring the neck out of the engine (because there isnt a huge...
Hmmm... Yeah, while the 16V is the lauded after engine, there is a school of thought which says the 8V is the better all rounder. The 16V is the best drivers car, but the 8V is more drivable everyday...
