:orb_lol: @ this whole thread.

I'll answaer you original question... the list of mods you want is what Jason has (devonutopia) because his car is running more than 200bhp, and weighs about the same

Obviously anything involving corners would see the Golf get the edge.

:orb_lol: @ this whole thread.

Totally.

Well well, all i can say is my Mk1 Golf Gti after a recent RR night ( 111.5bhp ) kept up with a 182bhp Fabia till 100ish

Get that car to Star at once, Craig. It's 0.5 bhp down on standard :eek::eek:

Basically. The answer you were looking for is. Your car is not as quick as a standard Golf GTI. There ya have it...

Just to add fuel to the flames, why not a Mk2 Octavia vRS instead of a Golf :mischief::mischief:

A front wheel drive car won't touch a Impreza in the wet? Had a track day in the Fabia a few weeks back. Around the little set up laps, the Impreza's couldn't touch the Octy's or Fabia's. This was pouring with rain.

Technically, you'd expect the 4 wheel drive car to be the better, unless it was down to driving skills, i don't know what was going wrong.

the imprezza driver couldn't drive for carp or had slicks on then mate

I have both cars on the road performance is close so its all down to the driver.Off the mark the 2.0 T gets alot better traction. up to 100 not alot in it after 100 the 2.0 T creeps away . The vrs has a big hit and feels awesome within its narrow power spread the 20ltr has long smooth power and is the best engine i have ever tried.To see a big performance diference on the road the power diference has to be big.The 2.0T has the torque of most diesels it is a remarkable engine.

Like 70bhp?

I am talking about a remapped fabia

Get that car to Star at once, Craig. It's 0.5 bhp down on standard :eek::eek:

That was at Star ? and Derek was the Fabia. The reason it was below par for a 23yr old car was i was only running normal unleaded.

Mmmmm, I don't doubt you but I do if you know what I mean!!.

Dont Doubt him, I was there too

Just get a bike, for

But what if the Golf has DSG and uses it's launch control?

Ah, but what if a Meteorite from the planet Viega crashes through our atmosphere at 17,000 mph and just as the Golf & Fabia are on the start line they both get hit and are disintigrated, mmmm, we'll never know then.

[completley unrelated mode]

Do you know, nuclear establishments are protected from meteorites because the CAA have enforced a no fly zone over the sites

[/completley unrelated mode]

And a Fabia will never keep up with a Golf GTI at the top end.

It doesn't... I've tried!

It like comparing chalk and cheese.

However you can write your name with very hard cheese like parmesan and you can eat chalk without harm. Life is never simple.

The Golf would definately disintegrate faster than a Fabia

All 3 of them? Oh, and go easy. Some of them are on here!

A remapped fabia has 30bhp less than a GTI so how would it keep up top end? You would need A remapped PD150 Golf to come close.

Depends on the maps, You can get lots of different ones, and I believe you can get a 210bhp. Mines 185BHP and 295lb ft torque, thats alot more torque than the Golf.

210bhp on a fabia with a remapp? A lot of the fabias have been dynoed in hollywood, in reality they wont produce more than 170-175bhp in the real world.

Thats what I was offered, but they recommended the 185bhp for best all rounder.

Also, have a local REVO agent who can also do it.

You would need A remapped PD150 Golf to come close.

The PD150 turbo and the PD130 are nearly identical as far as performance goes. Yes, the PD150 turbo is a bit bigger, but hardly.

Once remapped, there even closer to being the same. One has instant rush, the other has the instant rush but just over a wider band.

So if that's the case, then find me a remapped PD150 Golf which can leave a remapped PD130 for dust.
