Re previous post on the virtues of a VTEC Mini Vs an Altezza...

The Vtec Mini will strip your skin off (trust me on this one...) but its not something you'd really bring the Mother shopping in...

An unfair comparison perhaps?

As an aside, mini's have been around with VTEC power outputs for years but the weakness has been the mini transmission, there seems to be a limit at 145 bhp after that you'd end up with a bust box.

All kinds of people have claimed to have surpassed this problem, strange that the wo't gaurantee their work...

€8,800 for a MK4 Golf:D

These are actually quite hard to come by these days. It's a 25th Anniversary Golf. I wouldn't pay 8.8k but it is worth around 5.5k.

Or you could buy something half decent, sorry but 5.5k is a joke. 8.8K is an absolute piss take.

8.8k would get you a R32 instead of a tractor.

I was coming on to post a 12 year old mkIV with the asthmatic 1.4 and chocolate gearbox advertised for 2400 but prepared to listen to sensible offers as it needs 4 new tyres :eek:.

I'm not sure how he'd take to my sensible offer of €900 provided it passes the nct next week but I think your Veyron beating tractor trumps this and

You'd hardly bring the mother shopping in a Tezza with a LSD either :pac: There are some sleeper VTEC conversions, there's a lad on the English mini forum that's putting together a B20 bottom end with a B18 VTEC top end, going into a standard 80's roundnose, complete with original 12" steelies and hubcaps. He's claiming about 230 bhp conservatively, madness.

There are 1380 turbos that claim up to 250 bhp that come up for sale on eBay every now and then. As you say, anything over 150 bhp is trouble, sure even the Metro turbo was known to shred gearbox bearings, hence why the ERA had a "turbo ECU" to dial down torque below ~3500 RPM.

On topic, why not have a '01 felted A4 for 5 grand? http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2604532
