I was on the lookout for GTi 180 but the insurance on them is ridiclous and after reading through Jamie's thread I wasnt really sure if the 180 was a car that can be put on throttle bodies ...
Thanks crossie for the pictures, looks really nice but needs to be lowered!!!! lol

I have been doing s**t loads of overtime to save up for ITBs but after giving adrian flux a call think bodies might not be an option 
Think styling it is then...

I think at 19 if you put ITB's or cams on your insurance company isnt even going to lube you up when you tell them

I agree about going for looks, but in fairness to the OP, he said no turbo's himself. |
i no he said no turbos. In my post tb's means throttle bodies.
What i am saying is surely throttle bodies would put the insurance up just as much as a turbo yet he is quite happy to have the throttle bodies???

Not good then
Sort some better suspension and brakes out, will make a world of difference.

I think you should go for looks first. then go for performance once you have had it for a while and you will notice the power increase more

Plus whats the point in havin the power if you dont have the suspension to help put it down and the brakes to stop on time
