1600 CVH manages 480Bhp...
Just bin to town and some guy I know (use to goto school with) called billy...billy bullsh*t...says "my rsturbo (rsturbo shell with an XR3i motor in) is 480bhp your RS turbo (roughly 170bhp) has no chance, so I agree nodding accordingly.....so there u have it the most bhp from an XR3i is 480bhp...beware!
some ppl r so full of shit,god this guy's a loser lol

pmsl i got a mate jusnow telling me when i pass my test how him and his 8v golf GTI mk3 will whoop my std engine'd rst......mine will "beat his on paper" but he's a better driver (more overly confident) who's usually used to 1.0's till he recently got his golf.....
i said tommoz - crail - race a std rst.....or i'll get a lad to take u out in one........he declined cos he value's his life far too much to go out in a boy racers car with "some boy racer"
he didnt like it when i called his car a ned gti.....
i wish some people would take of their blinkers, i said EVEN if it does beat me, i'll jus get a cam (already chipped.-31) and whack the boost up 170bhp here i come lol

Innit 
Just after I bought my first RST, mymate with a Nova GSi (1600i sohc, bout 100bhp std) told me (cos he just got a job in burtons at the time was gonna get his tuned to 160bhp and cain me all day long.... I said fine, get it done, spend out well over a grand doing that, I'll just buy a Ł25 bleed valve and a Ł200 chip and kill your 160bhp all day long

i sold my momo arrows to some bloke off ebay...when he came to collect he was eyeing up my rs and starts this great 'story' about how he used to own a series 1 and it used to make 360bhp...at the wheels...i did my best not to smirk and smiled approvingly!
he goes on to tell me how it had skyline pistons (forgot to ask if he used all 6!) supra turbo and many other 'mods' but switched off by this point
he goes on to finish all this by telling me his mate wanted to buy it and he told him no way! but then his mate offered him loads of money and a 300bhp r5 so he said deal...but not before he made his mate sign a disclaimer saying if he crashed it and died this guy was in no way liable for his death!!
kept me entertained for hours!!

And why is everyone whos had a cossie 10 years ago always had a 500bhp one???.....
I had one ten years ago.....................But it never had 500 ponies........
It did have 360 though(thanks to mad Tony Mannock at Turbo Systems)and i was regarded as something of a hero then...........now i`d just be slow with only 360 bhp..................how time change...
