He has come close before at a fraction over 10 seconds. On Saturday the 1st of September he achieved his goal, after finding another 17 bhp from an already very powerful Z20LET engine. With some tweaks to the cam timing and increasing the air flow meter to a 100mm version, further mapping resulted in 602 BHP. [/quote] I've owned an ibiza cupra and currently own an astra gsi. Spec lists are pretty identical but the Astra is a MUCH better all round car. Handling and braking on the ibiza's are absolutely shite, as are the golfs. Dont give me this "but if you add coilovers and 19 ARB's they handle well" bullshit, im talking out of the box standard car. Astra feels like it has 10 pots compared to VAG set up, even the 312mm set up aint all that. Tuning wise, £450 gets you to 200bhp in a 1.8t and 230bhp in an astra and the power delivery isn't all or nothing, you get torque that comes in early and stays there, not just dies off. The only way you can get 250bhp on a k03s is on Jabbas rollers :P Also show me a 1.8t that can hit 310bhp and 380lbft torque from a turbo that can be purchased from main dealers In a nut shell, ibiza = young lads 1st turbo car that will crash itself round a bend with TC turned on, or just understeer off the road with TC turned off [Edited on 19-03-2008 by Rob R] [/quote]
