220 GTi & 220 GSi???

[southside]

Whats the differance? other than the Gti has grey half leather/dash and the GSi has black half leather/dash?

Also does anyone know the Bhp/top speed/0-60 figures of a 220 GTi nasp as im going to have a look at one the weekend for a project car. Really wanted a something turbo but cant find anything cheap enough

GTi is M series engine 140bhp, GSi is t series engine 136bhp.

Both 0-60 is around 8.2, top speed of 128

Not bad for a Rover

Did all GTi's have the Roversports bumpers?

Not all and mostly the ones that did only had the front bumper not the rear.

Also another question i wondered. Where did the roversports bumpers come from? are they aftermarket or were they an optional extra? as i know the front bumpers are pretty common but i know the rear bumper and sideskirts are very rare. I've got the front and back roversports bumpers to go on mine but i cant find the skirts anywhere.

Optional extra

Again, as you asked for

Rover did a Bodystyling range for the Gti's as an option extra at the factory very few got this. None got Roversports kit

So the kits Ste,C2k and Ive had on two of my cars is the Rover Bodystyling kits.

4th in real speed on an N/A box is only about 110ish which would make sens as speedos can be out by a fair way.

oo hell thats quite scary if mines that far out :s

It gets worse the faster you go, so don't worry about breaking the limit in anything below 70.

phew !

the 140bhp (M-series) verisons were quicker accelerating to 60mph than the 136bhp T-series cars. The early ones rover claims 7.9sec 0-60mph, and 127mph. The 220gsi, figures are 8.2sec and 125mph. Only about 5bhp difference, but it does have an effect.

A mate of mine used to have a 220gti, (80'000mile) with a K&N 57i, de-cat, and a performance exhaust. I think it had an ecotec valve fitted too. And that car really did feel quick. i reckon it would have done 0-60mph in 7.5sec easily.

less than 10% so actually better than most.
