there wasnt even too much oil, it was just that last corner and maybe a few too many g's! haha I was keeping gary bocking and the mk2 at bay too until then!
given the chance I'd buy another 2.0 16v SX any day
really considering buying another one in a year or so and having it as a project car, while the R stays as my daily driver either black or red though, with nice white MO's
Cordoba SX
The Cordoba SX was a 2 door coupe version of the Cordoba. It came in 4 varients. A 1.6 100bhp, 1.9TD, 2.0 8V and 2.0 16v. The 16v 150bhp ABF engine is identical to the engine found in the MK3 Golf GTi. The 16v SX also came with 16" multispoke alloys, 280mm front discs, ABS, traction control and air conditioning as standard. The model was slightly revised in 1998 with a new rear splitter which required the exhaust to be hidden, a revised front lower grill and splitter and leather interior became standard.
The Cordoba 16v, however, was not as popular as the Ibiza Cupra 16v due to being £1000GBP more expensive at list and 1 second slower 0-60 because of the added weight of the rear end.
In 2000 the Cordoba was face lifted, and the 16v ABF engine was replaced with a 1.8 155bhp Turbo engine. However the SX was no longer available in the UK and limited numbers are known to exist in southern ireland in right hand drive format. This decision was made based on the poor sales performance of the phase 1 SX
I had several 1 on 1's vs ibiza gti's and were dead level through the gears and from a standing start. trackdays were fun also, out cornering the standard 20vt fellas also. As I posted before, it needed around 180 brake though not 150.
