hey chris - i agree with some of what you say, my biggest problem with the wbx is the lack of power- and poor fuel efficeincy. if this was a balanced shaft motor with about 50 more hp. and 40-55 mor foot pounds of torque, it would be much better! but i mean come on 80 hp from 1.9 liters! thats not very efficient ! a 1.8 liter golf is well over a hundred! ever try to buy peformance parts for your wbx?? cam, headers etc? not much out there is there?? just my 2 cents |
