the tomcat engine is a heavy piece of shit, the audi engine on the other hand is an inch shorter than a k series and is not a bad unit.

why ma mtro though.

i had a metro gti on twin webbers cams pulleys etc etc and that was a monster with them.

RS turbo killer

What spec is it to make it 250 bhp.

though the non turbo's were 180??

metro's are cheap fun cars.. that's why!
did you not spot the actuator in the pics?
it's a 225hp tt engine and will run more boost and be on T2 management so 250hp should be conservative!!!

How boring would roads and tracks be if everyone drove round with the same fast cars. I reckon there's alot of people who would love to see a shitty looking metro pushing a cossie or evo round a track

id rather own a car like that that you can just about waste anything with and have fun in than a cosy as everyone expects things from a cosy as people know what they are, now if a standrd looking metro sat nxt to with 250bhp u would feel a bit of a cock when its wastes u in ur cosy not knowing what was in

metro all day long for a fun car like that
