Its that squirrel you ran over. The clunk was the sound of its little head going pop. You're a cruel woman Kat.

Right then Prezza experts...

What split is the 4wd system?

Is it 50/50?

Is understeer normal when pushing out of corners and front end tuck in when lifting off throttle?

Car is UK Turbo

i think the paint code is under the bonnet, should be on a little metal plate (or was on my old non-scoob car), think thats the standard place to put stuff

Well, the BEFORE BHP has come in. VERY SURPRISED, but I guess most of you wont be. Its LOWER than the standard BHP, primarily this is because its piddling out fuel and nothing is mapped.

I was expecting around 281-290, but 230.... YIKES. LMAO.

When its finished, its <supposed> to hit the 350 mark. If thats the case, Im going to have to wear brown pants when I collect it coz its going to be a scary ride home!
