Think i'll keep the B8 then!
That VW looks as boring as hell,(sorry to say)
but I'm sure with those mods it brings a smile to your face, bet its a good laugh
At least you can look forward to getting a PE and I can't wait to see it in Noggy.

Outtlaw. You just hit the nail on the head fella.
On the outside, it is my wifes beaten up shed. Looks like nothing to anyone, but catch me in the wrong motor at the lights and you'll get a shock.
I remember doing a lap of the ring with my mate in an E36 M3 at full tilt, and Steve is very quick (not as quick as me)..... and you can imagine our dismay when we couldn't pass a skoda roomster, turns out they have this engine..... and they must have turned up the volume to 300.
I've only turned it upto 210 from 100, it's a bit of fun, a giggle on your way to shops, a shed - with shed loads of power!!!
I had to do something to fill the immediate void post B8.
Oooh yeah on the PE tho, with you all the way. Now that won't be a shed with shed loads, and it will stand out....!

Sleepers are brilliant
I used to run a beat up old dark blue astra van for mountainbiking, which had rust on the outside, steel wheels and a roof rack with drain pipes on it, but it had a 316bhp at the wheels 2.0ltr Turbo Z20LET engine (from the VX220) with Hybrid Turbo, VXR injectors, lightened pistons/con rods and sticky Toyo Tyres
I used to go out at night and bait boy racers in it. Great fun

Mrs made me sell it though as said it brought down the tone of the street

Booo !

Hahhaaa!! - I'm hoping the diesel turbo torque on this is the saviour of the day.
