Jamie, I wasn't trying to be personal or start a fight, was just defending the idea that you assumed I might be a bit of an idiot with a clapped out car - far from it. I note that many GTIs are high mileage and older models since Peugeot ceased production of them only a few years later.
I have known that my car has not reached the performance acclaimed by other users on this forum since I got the car a few months ago - and to be fair, according to this site www.torquestats.com/in...mph60_100, a stock GTI 180 takes 13 seconds from 60-100mph. I would in fact be very skeptical of any 180 that can do 60-100 in 10 seconds as this is the likes of the Civic Type R, the Clio 182 Cup, the MR2 Turbo, Impreza WRX, Mini Copper S JCW, and the Audi TT 225 - all of which are quicker than the GTI 180 for acceleration in any gear.
I must stress that this is only my view point through studying the performance figures of the above models on more reliable sites such as auto-trader and manufacturer sites where applicable. I would be happy (and would in fact passionately very much like to see) a video clearly showing the speedo of a stock GTI 180 doing 60-100 in 10 seconds flat. Even the Escort RS Cosworth and the Astra VXR can only do it in just a fraction of a second quicker (9.9 and 9.7 seconds).
Regards
My old 180 p**sed all over a wrx and keeps up with my mates civic so either your not driving it right or your underestimating it.

Agree my old 180 before it was mapped was quicker than 2 of my mums old WRX's and she knows how to drive.
My current 180 isn't that far off my old Dreamscience'd Focus ST RR'D @ 280.3BHP on DS alone due to it not being able to get the power down and being fat. To say 100 it is a car length behind. It would definitely beat a stock ST 100% I also know this because my best mate has a silver Focus ST and he get's p**sed off that a french tin owns him and in the corners and I beat a blue one down a strip road to the motorway before.
I beat the only Type R I played with in my old 180 before map, and used to play every day with a 182 & Astra 2.0T coupe on the way to work through some awesome roads and it was always a different outcome between me and the 182, the gashtra was no where to be seen when the bends came in.
You clearly have a lemon or don't know how to extract the best out of it.
PS remove the dodgy body-kit already, it may have 1 lady owner and lowish mileage but that bodykit lol...

It should have the correct plugs since the dealer has always fitted them.
