To the people questioning Adam's preference for the 8v head over the 16: Maybe he just wants to give his car a certain character - it's often the case that a "higher-spec" part or model actually spoils the balance of a car or ruins it's character. Case in point: The V12 E-Type Jag, which IMO is nowhere near as nice as a Series 1.
Some say that the Golf GTi and FWD Audi TT (new-shape) are "better" cars to drive than the AWD R32 / Quattro TT.
The only thing I have to say is that the obsession with "lowering it" is a little unhealthy (even if most of the comments posted on UCP are only as a joke), and the car wont drive anywhere near as well as one that's been set-up properly. I could understand if this were to be a "trailer queen" show car, because none of this would matter, but I wouldn't want a daily driver to be this compromised for the sake of lowering it and having a joke.

or maybe that the 8v is a stronger engine?

You're all wrong, it's not a question of character or a question of preferences... he's just being cheap.

Actually it's out of sheer laziness and cost. I'd have to swap over too much stuff and basically build a totally hybrid engine to run a 16v. And I don't want to go boosted, so there's not as much of a point.
I'd sacrifice ride quality for looks any day.The only thing I have to say is that the obsession with "lowering it" is a little unhealthy (even if most of the comments posted on UCP are only as a joke), and the car wont drive anywhere near as well as one that's been set-up properly.

8v's can perform to. I've got a 16v, people could say to me: why dont go 20v ?
I worship people who can make the switch and go for looks
