[quote][i]Originally posted by 22B[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by lee_wee[/i] mines a 2000w engine. ive not had it rolling roaded but its modded anyway. theres nothing internally different about the engine and any other year though [/quote] oh I like the way, you just 'know'... never had it RR'd yet you can factually state it is no different. Apparently 2000 onwards have a slightly better flowing head (2 prong heads)... They did this as the EGR valve actually reduces the engine power slightly... So With a 2 prong head and a EGR valve you get the expected 120 ish bhp. However, there was a short batch of cars (2000 v / x / w reg) which had the 2 prong'd head but no EGR valve. :thumbs: I've seen countless of these models on rolling roads get 130 bhp ish bhp standard. I had a 98 reg china blue 106 gti. My mate had a V reg 2000 china blue gti. We bought them at the same time. His car was always quicker than mine. Standard. Then when we both had the identical exhaust and filter combo's his was still faster. With exhaust and filter, mine did 15.3 1/4 mile, his did 14.9. (we would swap cars too, so it wasn't down to driver - result would be the same, his car was quicker). his ended up doing a 14.6 with cams, where mine only did 14.8. I've seen plenty more examples on forums. [/quote] I can vouch for what your saying, I owned a 2000 X reg Mk 2 VTS, and my friend owned one after, both low mileage, (24,000, 30,000) and mine definitely had the legs over his, also felt a lot quicker as well in the power delivery, seemed to pull to the redline a lot more franticly than other VTS' I have been in. Really miss mine, had no end of problems with it, so had to get rid of it. I think it was fuel pump related problem, as under a 1/4 of a tank going up hills flat out, it would start to bog down and the ignition lights would come on and you would have to pull over, then it wouldnt start for a few minutes which was a pain. The handling was superb, very twitchy on the back end when pushing on, reminded me of my old 205 GTi. My only complaint would have to be the brakes, for the speeds the car could do on twisty backroads, they never filled you with confidence if you had to come to a quick stop. [/quote]
