Standard for these 136 or 140 bhp depending on where you read it.
When I talked to Courtenay they said the remap would get 10bhp.
The last owner claims 160bhp, it's been on the dyno but I've don't have the results, but with the exhaust it might be about right, it feels pretty quick. Power seems to arrive in 2 chunks, the first at 3000rpm and the second at 5000rpm. It's certainly quite a bit quicker than the 2003 Vectra 1.8 SRi (120bhp) I had before.
The idea was to buy a 'sensible' car for commuting and visiting customers - it didn't quite work out that way! |

p.s. Love the Avenger GT - always had a bit of a thing for Avengers (especially the yellow and black Tiger).
This one lives near me, must be about as rare as H120's, if not more?

You're not far off, but you need the '[/IMG]' bit at the end also.

Steve - Can you bring the Audi to Shepton next year? I'm on a mission to get more marques at the show as its getting a bit stale.
If you're a member of the owners club you could always organise a club stand?

That would be fine Jason, it's in May isn't it?
Would be nice to get a couple more local Audis involved. I know of a rally replica in Bridgwater and an early car with quad headlamps and rare Kamei body kit or perhaps a UR Turbo would be nice.Will see what i can do.Feel free to drop me any details of the show. |

The fastest way from one petrol station to the next!
400bhp and top speed about 170mph (272kph).
It's going to be running on LPG as soon as I've got the money to do it.

It's a Monaro VXR - really a Holden Special Vehicles GTO with a Vauxhall badge. But it shares a lot of components with the Opel/Vauxhall Omega.

When you said 'Monaro', I thought you meant....
Didn't realise just how out of touch with modern cars I am.
Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda'). |
