Cheers mate! The weather's looking pretty bad for Easter tho, so it may turn into a road trip with crates of Bitburger at the end of it, rather than any track action!

There'll be pics but no video from this trip.. I'm sure I'll be able rectify that later in the year!
Thanks both

Do I take the bammer - Revo remap is on the cards .. your old tuning box is just not up to my demands now .... or do I take the Twin top once I have remapped that (circa 200BHP I'm told ..) Either way Ian - that video has inspired me...
That's the sound of very little in the way of exhaust system
Haha.. the old resistor box!
I'd say twintop.. glad you liked the video
Just a quick update to say that since returning from the 'ring in March, I took the Arosa to Oulton Park on the 22nd April for its first bout of UK track action. It was a glorious sunny day, full circuit and open pitlane! A really good experience and the Arosa certainly did well. I'd never driven OP before, only ever been there as a spectator, but it's a brilliant track and was a heck of alot of fun!
Next up: Back to the Nurburgring next weekend (10-13th May) for the second trip of the year

Statistical Update!
Given I took the Arosa along to GTI International this weekend, it would've been rude not to take it along the 1/4 mile and see what it could do.. Unfortunately, there was a) no grip and b) a colossal headwind; making the results less than stellar:
8.94 0-60 and 16.99 1/4 mile
I think I'll be heading to Santa Pod to attempt this again under better conditions!
On another note, I finally managed to get the car on a weighbridge, where it tipped the scales at 50kg more than I would've hoped.. 910Kg (pretty much back to factory weight!).. I knew the cage was heavy, it's obviously a bit heavier than I thought!
This clocks up 130bhp/ton as a power-weight ratio.
So, plastic windows and more power it is for me next year!
Next up, back to the 'ring in 3 days..!

Looked really nice on sunday - also looked very cool heading up to the strip too and was getting a lot of looks too. You do realise you're going to have to either stick a VR6 in there or a 1.8T Or have you considered putting a bike engine in just for stupidity?
