fastash1 · Post by **fastash1** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:10 am

had a good race last night with an R32 bloke was gutted tho cos he couldn't beat me off the lights or moving fror that matter, had a long chat with him after and he is now going to have it chipped to try and beat me at pod on the 25th, we'll see ha ha ha. Had to tell someone cos you know how big headed you feel when you've just beat a 25k 240bhp car and your in a Â£1500 Metro

Super Tro strikes again

Probably Golf being 25grand and 240bhp, still gotta love them though

Nice one mate, what spec's the mighty metty?

He'll need to do more than get it chipped. Metro's rule :twisted:

Friend of mine has a nice R32 and is looking for upgrades, chip and possibly even a s/charger. Price for both is well into five figures - ouch!!

Granted the R32 is bloody fast - but if I had to own a VW it would be a Mk3 VR6 - I think they look a lot better.

Getting a bit long in the tooth now though....besides the VR6 Golf couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding :wink:

How much does the "tro" weigh fastash?

If I had to have a golf I'd be a either Seat Leon or Audi A3

the Tro weights about 850kgs i think, thats why its so much fun, also i had a Mk3 VR6 last year and my misus said it was an old mans car, i'd have another t16 if you didn't have to spend loads on them to make them as fast as my metro!!

Ha Ha nice one mate!! Where you from by the way? not Bromsgrove?

might be but it depends who's askin???!!!

Does A18 UVC ring a bell to you then??

Good effort!

I'd be quite confident about you winning again on the strip, the Golf is n/a so a chip isn't gonna do that much. What's he gonna get 20bhp at most?

There was an engine management update for them though (an official one) and that does make a big difference, without that theres a significant hesitancy at about 3k rpm.

Most owners are gonna have had this done though, someone paying 20k+ for a Golf is going to be an enthusiast.

A Golf R32 owner has appeared on the XPower forum and has passed on this useful bit of info.

Well i would just like to say that even if i was to get beat i have nothing to be a shamed of as i could have 16 VVC Metro's for the the cost of 1 R32!!!!

Super Tro rules

Been in an R32 and tbh my coupe t feels much quicker, apart from off the line and through corners of course.

mate had a VR6 and although it sounded nice it wasn't that quick, again the coupe t much faster??

I had some fun with an Alfa 156 GTA yesterday on my way back from Haynes, it was faster than me, but he must of had a shock to see a Rover keeping up alongside him past a ton.
