No, your reacion times are better but you still get about five seconds of wheel spin before you actually start moving, spin spin spin, doh!! there goes another three hundred quid : o

My time still hasn't been posted yet so i doubt they will do it now.. : (

That seems fair enough, best of three for all of us, we could arrange a race up the strip at the 'head but we would have to watch out for all the dog walkers ; ) only joking. When is the next non-mag day being held like???

As far as i am aware the car is putting out about 250bhp or there abouts, never had it on the rollers before but i am thinking about tuning it up a little more anyway, especially after last weekend.

So if you want a before and after race then that would be cool as well..

I think on a good dry day... all 3 of us would prob quite close to call!!!

But im impressed that i beat lowell in the wet hehehehe

He feckin shot away... then i just slooooowwwly reeled him in... won by a bumper and wheels length!!

he was telling me about the vid... me spinning everywhere!! and loosing it everytime on the ring!! DOH!!! (did write corner... but that would make no sense!!)

Cheap Power - boost increase?? how are scoobs with bleed valves? Cheap de-cat pipe? Do you have a fuel cut?

Oh dear adam, why don't you just stick with what you have then buy yourself a proper car like vectra 2.0 gls hatch nice and cheap to insure, good mpg with resonable performance ; )

I will look at getting the decat again also might see about getting the boost upped but i don't know what else you need to do in order to keep things sweet...

Mike, fit like??? Foz01 is selling a set of Audi TT wheels, not standard ones, they are 17's Highly polished phat five spoks and they look so good on the Mk3 golf, you should give him a mail, coz they look nay bad. He lives at my house at the weekends, offer him six hunner and they are yours, they are immaculate..

Adam i will only race if it's tenents, nothing else will do ; )

Boyner - yeah saw the ad on clubgti but I only got my wheels a couple of months ago so it a no from me! Also, not spending any more on the Golf as a proper "fast" car is looming once I get a bit of cash together...

Ah well, getting lots of interest actually, which is nice

Mike what you looking at?

A bit of a sleeper wouild be the new leon cupra R- Exactly the same engine as mine- which can be chipped to 270 bhp with ease without the weight ofthe 4WD system, assuming it has a decent traction control system would be fuggin quick!

there was a sweet lack ibiza cupra with big loys there on sun- looked good

now wheres that RS4 engine gone
