Default Turbo weather

Anyone else been out and about tonight ? I had a run down to Newbury to help Colin M out and my car is absolutely "on it", no question this IS the weather for a turbo. Spun up the R888's in third even and its dry !!!
Temperature is right and, more importantly so is humidity.

Must admit that in the NW I found my MY2000 T2000 pulling even better than normal and spinning it's wheels more than in normally does.

Definately, pity the roads are so wet and greasy around here though...happens all the time, the conditions that suit the turbo the best aren't the most conducive to having a good blast.

I recall heading along costal roads near camber a few months back and putting my foot down and I remember thinking that the car felt like it would eat the road and come back for seconds, and it was only a pretty much standard MY99 at that point.....My friends reaction said it all

"F**kin ell, this is a great car, unbelievable performance for the money" Incidentally, he normally drives a BMW M3, Praise indeed!

Now I have the exhaust and knocklink fitted, it's fast approaching remap time.......er, Bob would you be interested in another SN group buy?

I'm guessing as my lips don't hurt its humid
