nissan almera gti!!!! through second not much in it, tried to pass but couldnt...
into 3rd (which i thought was a strong gear and he started pulling!

gutted to say the least.... these cars must be about 150bhp?


for the people that are keeping with evos, skylines and impreza's.... your cars must be quick....


my car is standard.... exept forge dv, panel filter!

car in question had exhaust and i thought i heard an induction kit (dont now full spec of car)

but my heart is broken.... thought it would have been closer!!!



(all on private road/track)
 
a standard cupra won't keep up with what you've listed above. Pretty poor in standard trim imo.
140bhp in an almera gti. Should have the edge over one to be fair. stats aren't that great. 1/4 in 16.4secs. hmm
Might be a sign you have a problem..
 
or a sign that you met one of the modified variants of the almera gti. Not sure if its just chavs rebadging there almeras but there are two over here with nismo badges and another one with some other unidentible badges.
 
The almere runs a 150bhp version of the Nissan SR20 DE engine (same engine as a Pulsar and 200sx without the turbo) and is a quick well handling car.

Having owned one and currently owning a Primera GT (same engine again), I would expect you to beat it but not by a huge margin.

One thing though, those angine in NA form ran 240bhp in the early Sunny works cars with little more than engine management and an exhaust.
The internals are built to take a lot more power than standard, and a turbo conversion is straightforward enough.
 
i might have to see if i can get a vag com check done....

i think i will try and get one of these or the primera next year when i am getting myself a flat.... as they seem to be quite cheap!


very impressed, my old man used to have the primera eGT and it was quick, but i thought it would have been alot closer!
 
My sisters boyfriends got an almera gti. They are quick. I think his is running near 200bhp now though but i dought a standard one would beat a standard cupra.
 
i am just waiting till i get the mods for the k03s (which i have). exhaust with cat will be ordered asap.... then just the other necessary bits (fuel reg, fmic and a remap to suit these mods..... so then i will hopefully have a totally different car.... and hopefully alot faster/quicker!!
