Not a complete system, i have a CAT back exhaust system from MIJ, using thier 'sports' type backbox (they also do 'race' backboxes), the pipework is about 2 1/2" IIRC.
Also, it was an indicated 60 on the speedo, i went flat out in 2nd and hit the limiter ..so it may be like 58-59mph or something.

i beat a moddified punto last night at a little game of traffic light GP.
it was silver with a massive body kit, bonnet vents and 2 huge exhausts, it even had light up washer jets
i might have had an advantage though as it had 4 lads in it with base ball caps & the windows where down

lol..
I was lucky enough to use it as it as the RR data was needed for some college work!
Im trying to persuade them to let me use it again, to set up my car and the apexi SAFC when its turbocharged.
We need to do some RR tuning so im trying to convince him this is an ideal opportunity for everyone.
I have a new addition to my list.. Honda civic 1.4 GL (old boxy shape) 90bhp as standard, my car happily keeps up with this and again it was lightly modded, exhaust and air filter.

The later Cupra R has a power/weight ratio of 160 bhp per tonne, so would probably explain why a mildly modded GTI with say 135 - 140 bhp per tonne would be able to keep up. The gap closes further if it was the 210 Cupra R, with 152 bhp per tonne.
I must admit I'm quite tempted by a Cupra R as my next car, but am yet to test drive one or be driven in one - anyone care to share any experiences?
i wooped a a clio 172 
UPDATE for my chav type thread, Sunday night madness in the turbo 'mera.
Just a couple to add to my list: (both rolling starts in 2nd gear)
MK1 Golf GTI -buh bye
BMW E36, 6 cylinder (debadged, could have been a 325 or 328) - level until three figure speeds, i should have ad' him though, just couldnt get traction in 2nd or 3rd in the wet.
My night was cut short when i was just about to have a go with a scoobie, after teasing him into a race, i blew a boost pipe off in 2nd gear. Maybe next week eh?
Do i get a certificate? :lol:

They're all Mid-engined rear drive, and IMO far from shit, but the non "S" versions will be pretty slow compared to a turbo Prelude, yeah. In fact remembering that topic you made, the S versions probably are too...
