ZLET = Fly by, 197 BHP, Pants turbos and AFM's, Can see 260bhp without much trouble.

As for prices, it depends on age, mileage, and condition tbh.

nice cars, not very special performance wise standard, dont see many about (where i live anyway) can pick up a really good one with service history for 5-5.5k. red is the probably the best colour as its quite sought after.

I'd have a silver one now.

Although I would be more tempted by a Coupe Turbo these days, more of them and I prefer the shape.

spoiler ruins your rear view aswell. have to use your door mirrors mainly. AND!! i bought a new rear wiper and went to fit it and went.... what the fuck?! i think i have to take the spoiler off!

Don't be silly.....

Remove the nut with a spanner (wont get in with a socket)
Then where the join is push it down towards the window, this will break the seal it has and allow you to take it off,

its all electric, which is its major downfall. Great cruisers, smooth engine etc

cant believe how cheap coupe's are now. Bargain

The only thing you dont get with the coupe is the Recaro trim, TC switch and bumper! you can get a very nice Coupe turbo for £4k now!

tbh the recaro's are overrated.
I found mine uncomfortable on long journeys

Can you not just turn the wiper on then turn it off when its at the top? thats what I had to do with my sri spoiler.

i think the gsi has about 10 more brake than the coupe. Wouldnt be noticable i dont think though. good cars on long journeys, cruise control and i find the recaros quite comfy

The Coupe has exact same setup as the GSI, the SRi-T has a slightly different setup.

I miss my coupe to be fair! As said nice and smooth etc, but that wasnt to my liking, but as soon as i got it mapped its boosted alot harder and held it harder too.

Alot of car for the money imho!

I paid £6k for mine, you can pick them up for around £5k

I looked at one at a garage for £5250 and it really was a dog, very tatty and engine had seen better days.
