....Another very satisfied one here on Mica Red Day at BRD :D
WOW !...the Car is a very different animal.
First thing you notice is how much smoother it is. Driving in traffic in town has been trasformed. Driving out of Richmond and through London was much easier. The car was quite happy moving along in traffic at 30mph in top gear if you wanted.
When i get the car out on the vast open planes of East Anglia and floor the throttle....away she goes. Extremely quick but in a very smooth way. Lots of acceleration when you need it in high gears and blistering out of corners and roundabouts :D
Another plus factor is my full decat Afterburner Vortex does not "drone" at 70-80 mph like it used to. About 25% quieter inside the car :)...but it hasn't lost any of it's characteristics....just sounds more part of the car. Still sounds good in Hatfield tunnel :)
A big thank you to BRD and RB5_IOM.
To anyone reading this and thinking of a TEK3...as has been said before...you will not regret it because you'll have a much better car.
