So I've been experiencing boredom with my 138 for months now and the obvious choice is to upgrade.
Is there much difference with the 180, or would I experience the same ride and just a faster 0-62?
Cheers guys
Oh also budget is 3k for a car Smile

recently i jumped out my 138 into my mates 180 and if im honest the 180 left me very disappointed. My 138 isnt the best example at all, the 180 was mint on the other hand. But my 138 just felt so much more involved.

Shut it u stupid little f**k, what's the point in posting in all my treads being such a c***? Least I can afford a gti180, and to get the cam belt done!

So apparently everyone knows my financial situation? If I wanted a 180 I would have bought a 180 simples Smile

i'm sure you could probably get a much more faster and reliable car other than the 180 for 3k, if i had 3k and chose not to get a 180 i would get a integra type r or civic type r ep3

if your bored of the 138 dont get the 180, it is the same car just rides a bit lower and a tad faster. So if i were you i would go for a complete diffrent car
