the v5's sound nice, must be quite a smooth torquey engine, probably a bit heavier than the 1.8 too.

I'll given the 1.8 its due though, its a very versatile and reliable engine. Must be nice if you have a 150bhp version that it can easily be tuned with minimal stresses.

yeah, the cossie yb is a classic example of a tunatble turbo motor, still widely used, dirt cheap to buy and tune for lots of power. People seem to put them in absolutely anything, with 200 to 550 bhp, mad

still, i wouldnt really want a focus St170 because its reported to be a lacking any real grunt, and not sure about the RS, that much power/tourque through the front wheels just seems wrong. Im just dreaming here......

Mind you, some golfs, seats etc put more. I have driven a Volvo v70 T5 a couple of times, 250bhp through front wheels which was kidof fun, but the tourque steer was attrocious, and as i remember it has a brake switch rather than pedal.
