It doesnt give the performance figures you stated, I did a downpipe and removed the cat of mine, cars feels awesome, but no way you going to get 30kw lol!!
I have 400NM on tap, you??
Yeah you right, If you actually read on you see I meant to say exhaust + software, In a later post. As I said i thought I put it in but I did not (i do not proof read my posts), however decatting the 86 would provide a significant increase as it got a double cat system not a standard one.
400 NM huh, got a generator at home? you do realise its kW/Weight ratio thats important huh, talking torque like you even know what it means shows how stupid you are. Also at least your stupidity is justified, I did not ask how much torque you got in your diesel generator, I mocked your intelligence as a whole, to which you replied "I got 400nM on tap" how that makes any sense I do not know. That insult flew straight over your head, perhaps I will use something you can understand but then I will feel like I am mocking a child.
Let me teach you about torque sir, the torque quoted is at the engine not at the wheels. You cannot take torque into account for acceleration unless you talk with gear ratios as well. Generally the higher torque the better acceleration, HOWEVER thats because most cars rev to 6000 rpm. Now you try and do that against a car that has half that torque and revs to 12 000 rpm and it will smash you in acceleration completely, because it can stay in a single drive ratio longer. The engine torque is related to the torque on the wheel by the gear ratio if the total (transmission times differential) gear ratio is 10:1, for example, so thats 10 revolutions of the engine results in one revolution of the wheels, then the torque exerted by the wheels is geared by a factor of 10 over the torque exerted by the engine. In other words the gearbox functions as a torque multiplier.
In low gear the torque available at the wheel should be quite a bit higher than the torque at the output of the engine. there are limitations the lower the gear (higher ratio), the faster the engine must spin to make the car move the same speed, so the more power the engine must generate (max output and rpm come into play here). If we had a perfectly lossless, infinitely variable transmission and drivetrain, it wouldn’t matter one bit how much torque the engine had at the output, the only thing that would matter would be power, which is the product of torque and angular velocity. This is the reason a ferrari taking of in sixth gear will probably accelerate slower than me on a bicycle (I wouldnt take that as fact, pretty unfit these days ROFL)
sigh you speak here as if you know something :/ you like those idiots I see with city golfs, they install a freeflow exhaust to make their cars sound like an obese man who ate too much beans. Then they put split profile tyres on the citi golfs with the wider profile on the back on a front wheel drive car (why? because the M3 has it duh), then they think they got a PhD in engineering afterwards. Now sir you can come and claim on tap and blah blah blah but the fact that you thought I was comparing vehicles means you an idiot and you didnt even quote your vehicle just its torque so you ashamed of it, sad really. Anyways im not here to class you in terms of money, thats low very low. Even a troll and a person with a lesser IQ does not deserve that. If you must know I dont have a car at the moment, I just sold my e39 525i german spec with ac schitnzer conversion a few days ago. I was originally looking to buy one of the following: porsche cayman/boxster, BMW 1M/335 e92 or SLK or c-class coupe, but this little toyota caught my attention before I did. Im 25 years old I do not need a headache like those cars will provide me with, in the future.

WRX which, although it develops 50 kw more, also weighs 250 kg more.
A buddy and me were having a chat about this it can actually produce more power per ton then high end sports cars without costing an arm and a leg or a finance of R60 000/month lol, and since its styling its taken from Lexus LFA not a bad thing this. Stock standard it produces 122kw/ton to put that in perspective a e90 BMW 330i has only 120kW/ton and the WRX and older legacy 3.0R match the toyota's performance. Not only that the car has an additional 2000 rpm on most cars and 3000 rpm on diesel vehicles in general. Though Im going to do the TRD cosmetics saves me a headache of hunting original parts later cause all suppliers for UK are out of stock. Plus I rather have the factory fit it than wait or chance my warranty. Costly for small increaces but its the look im after, so safer to leave it in toyota's hands for now.

I said it is an all round better track car according to the car mags, the Renault RS is 50K cheaper.
Be very careful, Fazda, is giving you very good advice, renault is a nice car and sure you entitled to your opinion and you welcome to ask people for an opinion if you leaning more towards the renault and perhaps exploring the idea of the toyota.
Here is what im going to say to you, im a realist. Is this renault going to be your only car? if yes, then dont buy it. End of story. Everyone I know who has a renault, likes the car until something went wrong. Keep in mind EVERYTHING is imported, so if something breaks or need replacemant under motor plan be prepare to be running around in a ****ty courtsey vehicle why your renault sits in the shop for 6 weeks for your part to come on a boat. Even after motor plan if you keep that long, and it has not broken. There are almost no aftermarket parts available for them, and those that are cost the same price as the original manufacturer parts. Then when you have had enough of the vehicle and decide to sell it and change to a VW or toyota or hyundai like a normal person (there is a reason why many people buy these cars) you find out your car is worth dirt. The value goes to s**t faster than my BMW did rofl. Now im not saying this happens to all renault, but it will happen eventually mechanical things break finished, and that is why things with low support is not a good idea. This is why you must stick to south african Car books, firstly the designs arent the same and the reviews arent the same because the market is different. I wouldve bought a renault RS coupe when it was first launched its a sexy car no lies with that ferrari yellow style tachometer but this was my logic for waiting a while.
while you drop 3 gears to get into your power-band, I never left it.
Trying to think where you'd ever use 500-1000rpm...
