I doubt top end is more really, that will be over 130mph on the clocks, so about right.

good read, cheers for the upload :)

see how slow the valver was when tested between speeds (20-50mph for eg) in the higher gears

I fookin love RS1800s obviously they're not as fast as a Clio but they look mint. Wish my RS Turbo never got nicked now that was a nice car. Remember kids never leave your car that you've only had a week outside your girlfriends house when she lives in a bad area.

See ya

I've got that mag had it for ages...

Have you noticed how nice the valver sits on that side picture?

Standard valvers always look higher than that to me.

That's what I thought. Genuine 127mph seems about right :twisted:
