Also needs a charger rebuild due to stage 4s and smaller pulleys reducing the charger life from the normal 30-40k. Quite a few Jabbasport rebuilds blowing up too, including mine…

If fast is what you want tho' I know a geezer darn sarf who can get his hands on a couple of Boeing 777 jet engines on the cheap.
He's told me they only need the timing doing and a new loom! :shhh:
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines

it doesnt matter how much bhp you have when that roof balloons its like having a giant air break

you cant assume your car is faster based on a picture and some boastfull words!
0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times are closely related, obviously due to the physics of what's happening during acceleration. Others have built up empirial formulae to link:
power
weight
1/4 mile times
0-60mph times
which have been proven to be reasonably accurate. An example of one is here:
http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp
Now, a 0-60mph time of 7 secs, gives an (approx) 1/4 mile time of 15.4 secs. A 1.4 mile time of 13 secs equates to a 0-60 of (approx) 4.6 secs. Quite a difference there…..
I dont mean any of that bumf……..i mean in REAL on the road terms, figures and stats are all well and good but unless they are consistantly achieved or able to be repeeated over and over by different drivers then its all pointless.
Just dont know how all the conclusions can be reached by looking at an ebay picture of a car thats all
ALL Chargers can fail whoever rebuilds them, just like engines, i had my Rallye charger done by Jabba when it had done 89k and it was 100% spot on after and still is to this day in the hands of the new owner.

I don't know how well a G60 cabby would go either - I'd be worried the handling and braking wasn't up to scratch with too big a hike in BHP. Having said that, it goes for any other modified car too…..

Has any one done one so they know how well they handle?
Also the thought of dank little wheels get rewind by that.

I am sure it depends on who did the rebuild, but on a standard charger Jabba only give 6 months warranty, many other places give 12 months. Plus quite a few threads over on Club GTi about Jabba rebuilds going bang. So when I looked for mine I went on this feedback and who gave the best written warranty.

My mate swears by G-werks now, as i said in my mot thread I got offered a superb dark mettalic Blue standard Original H plate G60 Corrado today with only 60k on it and 2 owners.
the charger has only done 200 miles since its rebuild 8O as the guy works out of the country and is now selling up and emigrating permanently, Jabba did that charger, but its not modded just a straight re build, apex seals and bearings etc so i would hope/say it was all in order!!
You can lay hands on a new charger from Germany now for about ?800 and some will sell you the seal kits and belts now aswell so its not beyond doing it yourself for a straight rebuild

It doesn't in itself, but we would take action on the offence caused or perceived to be caused. For example if someone conducted a personal attack on another forum member, which went above & beyond plain old banter. I'm sure in this case TOTR can give as good as he gets.
