God only knows!
A:

well to give a fair comparison
at inters someone should bring their 1.6 driver to the strip - with weber carb, gti exhaust, Wiv a cam etc.
and race me in my nearly std old GTI
how's that sound?

A:

would do it but ive only got the webber fitted.

nope, if we're talking about modified drivers then Dark1's (can't remember current forum name) 1.8T (225bhp?)driver will be fastest

and still slower than tub's car...
although i think that fthaimike's car should be a good comparison to my pretty much stock gti
A:

i care. ive got one and i cant afford insurance for a gti
so i want
to know wot potential my car has.good enough reason?!
Hello J Man, if you modify your car AND tell your insurers (like you
should... ) then you may well find the insurance is similar as for a
standard 8V GTi.
My driver has a 2 litre TSR engine, lowered, big bumpers, GTi front
brakes, and other subtle mods and the insurance is very similar to a GTi
8 V. I told my insurers every detail, even down to the gear knob.
Cheers,

Mine did the 1/4 at inters last year with full interior and a load of extra stuff at about 17.6 (I think)
Richgits 1.6 with/wiv a cam and a weber was about 1 or 2 car length behind mine at the end.
So, cam and weber adds the best part of the difference between a 1.6 and a 1.8 driver.
A stripped out driver with tyres and suspension setup properly can get in the low 17's which is the worse side of a 8v gti's time.

A:

I'd go with the majority here and not bother tuning a driver, i spent to much cash on my old heap over 4 years with a weber carb and bits(well i thought it was great then , and yes everybody has to start somewhere)
Best bet is upgrade the chassis and when you can afford a GTI, swap it round. Sell the driver with all the GTI bits on and your laughing. That's what i did anyway after i got told for the upteenth time that it aint worth the cash tuning a driver!

And mine is still slower than some 1.8 KR's apparantly!

My money's on Malc Ring's mk1 2.0 16v "Driver" with about 230bhp.
A:

this forum is filling up with:
don't bother with a driver
don't bother with a 8v GTi
don't bother with a 16v, get a 20VT.
i say: don't bother posting this kind of crap!

A:

there should be a new forum for talk about drivers. you lot seem to forget that for some of us its our only option due to such high insurance!
