They are cwnts & out to get us framed. I had a cyclist under cut me on a roundabout & when I slammed my horn he put up the bird & smuggly tapped his GoPro. I was livid so gestured to my dash cam & put out a fully extended middle finger with a fk u reply.
It really is tough just to enjoy driving.

Have any of you guys gone up against an rs3? From 60 onwards I mean. 0-60 is shockingly quick but from then onwards...not so quick I found.

A thourogh scrub inside and out, oh and a custom remap :)

She’s gone from originally 110 when new, first run on Dyno was 97 :( then hit 144 before they called me to pick her up. 299lbs torque. I know I’m light years behind you guys but what a difference I can feel for £300.

Let’s see if she holds together.

300 pounds of torque!!
That is going to blast you out of corners. Good figures. You must be bouncing.

Not properly tested it yet, Sparky. Had my son in the car for the return trip then been out this evening. Good chance of some personal bests on the drive to work though I’d imagine. :D

Paul at Volks Workshop said they get more gains from the lower powered diesels 90 & 110 than they do the 130 & 150s.

Can concentrate on the bodywork bits now the map itch has been scratched.

True. It’s such a huge difference when cars are mapped. Like having a new model. Pukka

With all your upgrades, i'm sure there's no better place for you & your car, than on the track!
We are at a rally next weekend, sadly our car can only watch the bigger boys play :flag:
