I wouldn't feel unwelcome, in my experience it's rare that you'll get a response in under about 20 views on any forum
Welcome to the forums anyway

Blimey, to me a 1.6 would be like flying a rocket
Then again, I suspect so would my sister's 1.2 corsa compared to my old 1 litre

1 of which was probably you being reverted back to the topic!
We're simple folk here, we don't like to read. We want pics!
Anyway, welcome to the forum.

its only 75bhp and have you ever felt the weight of just the doors on a mk4, they weigh loads. seems especially slow after seing the golf r32 biturbo at inters last month. 3.2 0-60!!!

My Mk2 weighs about as much as a digestive biscuit, but it still has a stated 0-60 of about 17 seconds
Just remember, even 75bhp is about 1/3 again what most of us here have
