Are we sure all these speedo shots are on flat level ground :shock: an RSi doing 0-60 in 6seconds :P sick as fook if it is though!
yepo was on flat ground matey... bear in mind a 12 year old speedo will be out sllightly
only mods are running 13's so its sick off the line in the dry.. rear fully stripped, green open induction kit with CAF, side exit zaust.

madness :lol: i owned an RSi awhile ago, great little motors and alot easier to work on than the valvers and willy's for sure. Top work I still think thats about the same as my hybrid you know :shock: I will pop a video up of mine

Compare this with the vid shot of the RSi above
:shock:
beast that hybrid mate...
i cant see my RSi being that pace, its certainly quick for what it is but... that speedo vid is another level...
im sure they are the only mods it has, unless its been tinkered with by previous owners im unsure!! lol

weird, the Rsi I had idled really smoothly, was abit tappy but nice and smooth. My Hybrid is really lumpy when its cold but it is almost normal when it's up to working temperature
its getting a good service, waiting on sum bits n bobs through the post which should help it run smoother.. :)
performance leads, plugs, oil/filter change, new dogbone mount

does youre run ok on idle with the cams, my brothers old cammed up GTi was lumpy as fook... but they were a stupid lift on them!!

mate that thing will definitly run bloody low 15 / high 14 second qtr miles if thats on the flat :shock:
how reliable are rsi engines in comparison to valvers? as i'm planning on dropping a 16v lump into mine in the next couple of months but i dont want it to be breaking down every 2 mins, i do drive the car pretty hard at times :twisted:

In all honesty, I would say the RSi engine but it all depends on your luck, how you drive it and if you worry about a little noise that might go away as your timing belt tensioner siezes up and all hell breaks loose that sort of thing :lol: Tbh, I don't think the swap from the RSi engine to 16v is worth it completely....The RSi has torque low down and off the mark, is a little bit quicker through the first gears imo. Then again, the rev happy 16v engines are fun when they are wound up
Sorry forgot to add i've only got a 1.4 RT at the moment, the car is stripped/buckets/lightweight wheels/coilovers on the way/valver front end...its just ready for a lump! :twisted:
I know the Rsi isn't much slower than the valver, i cant make my mind up because you see wanted threads for 16v gearbox's everyday!
Sorry i'm hi-jacking the thread a little here, i'll start a new one!
The Rsi looks very quick though sambo :D
lol its ok gav mate..
yeah the RSi is much better lower down i feel to the valvers.. block weighs a hell of alot less too in comparison.. they are lighter stock so they do have that edge.
from the vid you can see they are really quick to 60-70 but they aint top end monsters.. its gets to bouncing off the limiter in 5th quite easy though hehe
around 70 is where they start to loose that puff and where the valvers power starts to come in to play :)

His speedo is showing 95mph after 13 seconds, -5mph for inaccuracy add another 2 seconds should be doing a true 95mph? Get this thing down santa pod :P

I detect a bit of jealous there. :wink:
haha cheers lads... yeah i think im getting it down to pod early june time.
to 60 it edges quick valvers but then after that, as i said i think it would dtsrt slowing on the pod.. i think mid 15's would be about right.
its getting a good service today too, when that vid was taken im getting misfires towards top end revs as one of my sparkys is dying out lol
should run sweet as a nut then :)
