TT conversion

[AlanJ]

hey guys I currently drive a 2000 Audi TT 225 coupé...no mods so completely standard. I was wondering what the z4s are like in comparison of speed, ride height etc. Is the 225 as quick as the 3.0i or quicker? I'm 19 and currently pay £1000 for my ins. fully comp, do you think a z4 will be more??

Welcome to the Forum. Never been too bothered with such comparisons. IMO both the TT and Zed are excellent vehicles but I like the traditional style of the Zed so purchased this in favour of the TT and not regretted it.

Z4 3.0 will be quicker that the TT 225. I have gone head to head with an Audi S3 (first model) which, if I'm right, shared the 1.8 225bhp engine with the TT. Not much in it, but the zed was quicker

IIRC the S3 had the smaller turbo as found in the single exhaust 180bhp TT, so the Zed should be way faster than that (assuming the S3 was standard and the sail on top of your Zed wasn't causing too much drag )

Nope PARKERS ONLINE share the same thoughts as me.... :lol:

Seems PARKERS ONLINE also disagrees with you (and disagrees with me too since the other model was 210 bhp).... :lol:

Regarding insurance.. I can help being 19 as well!

I picked up a 2.5i Z last week, and after a lot of (painful) searching eventually managed to get the insurance for £1.45k

NO company would even touch me on a 3.0i, but that might change dependant on postcode however all the places I checked wanted me to be 21 before they would even quote.
