A shameful day for me...
« on: 27 February 2012, 17:04 »
Got left in the dust of a pug 106.

Not sure whether it was tuned or what but it was driven by a 20 year old lad (like me) and I was giving my 115 all she could muster..

Something must be amiss or am I just bad lol...

Mind you, PSItuning did muck about with my actuator (grr) so that could be my excuse for being slow.

The pugs are a lot lighter and are surprisingly quick
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Its got a blacksmoke remap on it. Supposedly 140bhp. I think psi retarded my actuator as far as it goes to try cure overboost. Don't think its done anything apart from slow me down.

I need to set it back tbh

Had a saxo vts when i was 19. Couldn't go much quicker for your money! It ran 15.7 quarter miles standard (well de cated and stainless) suprised lots of people. My current golf would never keep up with it but it doesn't break anywhere near as regularly  :smiley:
