Went out in a quick drive in it today, only been in it a few times. Man it's fast. Maybe it's because i'm used to driving my 1l 12v, but still it does seem really fast. 1.6 can't remember which version it is though. Closed induction kit and custom back box is all thats on it at the moment but still 
I want one

I thought it was fast, ok! 
It would be fast enough for me anyway. He wants new cams, manifold and exhaust system on it.

Forgot to mention, it's lowered and has new suspension with 17" wheels, so it handles really well.
It's a 206 sport i think, hes had it arround 1 year.
I'll get some pics.
PS: I wasn't actually driving, just in the car

Is the gti 180 the 2l version? It's only about 15-20 bhp more than my brothers, well so he said - i think he did anyway.
