Is 350Nm a good torque figure?

Know what going round a corner fast feels like
#25: Re: GTi 180 V's GTi Author: JamieM, Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 7:49 am ---- I had 315 LB/FT - 427 NM In my old Focus ST bwaaaar Pop.
The 180 is around 160+
138 is probably 120+
Get a 138 they're more tuneable lololol - if you want 180 stock figures. Like with most N/A cars they're money pits to get +BHP.

i drove both when i was looking at buying a gti. the 180 felt like a much better drive not just the power but the steering,gearchange,brakes,,seats etc
so i bought the 180 version
#27: Re: GTi 180 V's GTi Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 8:07 am ---- in answer to the original question.
differences on the 180 over the normal gti
heavier power steering (gives a much better feel)
bigger brakes
traction control (although some later 138's had this)
stiffer/lower suspension
much better rear axle with the extra support arms and bigger torsion bars/arb
bigger wheels (although some may consider this a downside)
gear change is done by cable not rods (feels so much more positive)
longer first gear
much more supportive seats and nicer interior
more power as standard
electronic folding mirrors
leahter speedo cover, micro carbon dash trim, micro carbon mirror caps, twin exhaust tailpipes, boot spoiler as standard etc
was told when we went to the factory in coventry the 180 has loads of extra welds to make the shell stiffer too

That's the biggest myth ever when it comes to 206's. It does have extra welding - on the boot floor for the additional exhaust mounts!

i wasnt sure but when we saw the 206's being built at the factory the 180/rc models went onto a seperate part of the production line and into a booth the guy just said they have to have something like 15 or 16 extra welds on the shell
