what is std erst torque? and std mk3 Golf GTI 2.08v torque? and who'd win in a race?

Rick

power is 115, guess torque would be about 130 - and the RST would win.

bubye smug look! lolcheeRS Rick, anyone else got input?

Kev.H

both r slow race of the snails

vroooom ptssssh

we KNOW that already kev, but which snail has the biggest cahoona's

Kev.H

golfs r fat and weighty but standard RST allways have a weak actuator and 1psi of boost

ashrs

my s2 turbo got 231bhp and 256 torque how can u call that slow kev.h

vroooom ptssssh

Kev u nonce, u think im gonna let it pootle about on 1psi :'( its 7!! a big phat lucky 7

Kev.H

I didnt if you read I called a standard RST slow a 231bhp RST I would call more sluggish

Kev.H

if the RST is well setup and fully boosting at a whole 7 psi my money is on the RST till the floopy actuator gives up at least

ashrs

so kev.h tell us what is so good about the civic type R

vroooom ptssssh

Ash, ure taking the bate ma man!! lol

Kev, fook off i'll change it mid race and get sum1 to grab the wheel till i climb out n pop the bonnet

Kev.H

good performance
excellent handling well better than a RST
strong brakes
bullet proof engine
great fuel economy
warrenty
RAC cover
NOT RUSTY
Reliable

well u did ask

Dave vrooom ptshhhhh get ya self a stage 1 mate its a reliable conversion on an ERST and gives it a little extra gooooo my old one did 150k on its origional box turbo and engine cos it was looked after correctly till my mate put it into a tree and died that is

vroooom ptssssh

yea stg1 is a good option to get, basically puts it on what power it wuld be if ford werent poof's lol!! it feels good/strong power, that's my first option after i get my license

Andy-R

Sort yer fuel leak and I'll race your baby

vroooom ptssssh

bugger off you smarty pants lol

Andy-R

aye drive your car for you! lol

vroooom ptssssh

an ye still had a lead foot might need to take it a spin soon again too i wanna drive it

T28 RST

Golfs are alot heavier than a S1 RST, so i would reckon you would easily leave it, even the R32 golfs are no match for a proper RST

vroooom ptssssh

well all i can say to me mate sean is HUMPED he's such a smug coont, even asks the rest of the lads for approval that he'll beat me

kay2

sorry as standard ild rather be in the golf

M Brian

mk3 GTI 8v??!! pmsl

id beat it in my 16v 2i without much worry. so a rst with standard tune then then youd waste it pretty well.

now if youd said he had a 16v... or even better a mk2 16v... then id say... dont race him till youve got a decent amount of boost!!!
