There has been some confusion in this thread.
The true bits are, The power output of the R-tech is the highest of any 1400cc to this date, and the chassis is lightened and strengthened we are led to believe.
I'm not sure about the suspension myself, I personally believe this was media just hype, as the one R-tech me and StufaGTi went to view appeared to have GTi dampers with unknown springs.

this is more like it theres a lot of bollocks in this thread.. but as above is as miuch as i know to be true about the R-tec..
