Neilp Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 thats horrible, trying to look like an r8! The outside is giving me the boke. Engine is a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm not into the fake R8 look but if the bodywork was standardish it'd be alright. It'd certainly go though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 All those mods but no engine internals, I had one of these about 7years ago, done a few power mods & a revo re-map, 282hp & within 1k busted a con-rod & ended up having to re-build, with custom pistons & bored out block. Do the math, 1.8 - 350bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Bet that has had a hard life. Plus it's still a hair dressers car IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 An R8 it aint! Not for me thanks, i'll stick with my naturally aspirated 3.5 litre. 350bhp from a 1.8 is asking for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Chris- Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Not for me thanks. I never like cars that are trying to be something else. If it was a tidy standard car with few subtle mods to the body work it would be much nicer in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 350 bhp from a 1.8 is fine if done right! My last bike had about 120 bhp from 600cc and it was NA. Road bikes (with sensible service intervals) can have 200bhp per litre now and remain reliable. They are done properly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 ah ok, but bikes have no torque, just make ludicrous power by having a high redline. 350 bhp probably equates to 350lbft of torque, which is a hell of a lot from a 1.8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakes100 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Those 225/210bhp 1.8 engines will take an absolute max of about 300ft/lb's through the rods before they start to go bendy. I used to have a leon cupra r and quite a few people bent/snapped rods on the standard or hybrid turbos running 300ish+ft/lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p40ulw Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 looks like $hit nice power output personally if i was looking at getting a TT id go for the TT 240 Quattro sport with the recaros pole position seats as standard!! each to there own and hope he/she sells it and is happy with the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If it goes anything like the TTRS I had some fun with the other week, this will stand no chance against a 313 350z. I agree, looks terrible. Maybe if it was in grey rather than red it would look better. I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, looks terrible. Maybe if it was in grey rather than red it would look better. I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole. It would absolutely poo all over a 350z I had a TT mapped to about 260BHP and it was as quick as my zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 All those mods but no engine internals, I had one of these about 7years ago, done a few power mods & a revo re-map, 282hp & within 1k busted a con-rod & ended up having to re-build, with custom pistons & bored out block. Do the math, 1.8 - 350bhp I think you must have either had bad luck or something wrong with your setup. a lot of people run over 300BHP on the standard internals of the 20VT engine. 350BHP is maybe pushing it a bit but it has been done reliably by quite a few people on uk-mkivs. Also in my experience with REVO liscenced companies their dynos are normally VERY optamistic.

Chee350 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Im not to fond of the styling, but id love to have a go in one. The 4 wheel drive interests me, ive never driven one. Could make it boring i suppose. Must be mega cash spent on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
