That's really nice :kiss: :grin:.............................
But, who's is faster, then!!! :tongue:
Honest truth... I really dont know the derv picks up really really well i was doing 90 before i knew it!! You can feel all the torque :afro:
The petrol gives you a bigger turbo kick but Anyone who says derv is slow is very wrong and needs to drive it before making such a comment :smiley:
And before anyone says im just saying that because rhys is a best mate and fellow mod - well im not i really dont know!!
Very evenly matched.......

to echo Rich's thoughts, the petrol is quick; no doubt about it; i think my problem is i was driving it like my derv lol but when i got used to the fact i can rev it more lol, it keeps you pinned back in your seat nicely :smiley: the power delivery on Rich's is very smooth unlike some maps it does pull strongly to the red line :smiley:
i need a Milltek now though :rolleyes: :grin: :grin:

nah i got the beast 2.0 couldnt down grade now :tongue:

i was thinking about what those bits of plastic are actually supposed to be for - i think they're to support the filter itself and stop it falling down yet the filter sites in the lip at the top anyway :huh:
anyhoo - that weight reduction must be good for at least another 2 mpg :laugh: :laugh: had to be carfeul not to cut right through the airbox lol

Rhyso thinks im a miner only going under ground, plus the little bits of plastic are to stop the filter dropping down to allow crap to collect at bottom and to allow good airflow around the box. (which you have just butchered off by the way) ha ha :laugh: :laugh: but it dont matter cos like you say it sits in the top anyways

They're stunning golfs gents..... Rich's looks best IMO, love the exhaust, R32 alloys and the spoiler.
With regards to the spoiler, are they easy to fit once they're sprayed?? After my success with my painting this weekend, i'd be tempted to purchase one and spray it myself.... just how do you attach it to the car though??

Yeah, the Anni/R32 version is the one i'd like..... What website did you order yours from? and, how much did the spraying cost?? A mate suggested if i want it sprayed properly, there's a bodywork place that match the colour of your car as it is at the moment (fade from weathering etc) As happy as i am with me wing mirror, im not sure my skills will stretch to a spoiler...lol

i don't have one mate :huh: :grin:
