I bet they do, Id love to be in the car with you and see their faces, some must just be priceless.

Alexs 150 was giving me a run for its money up the hill on the way to Brands (this was obviously before the remap). Its all about the torque these days.

yeah they don't look best pleased when i leave them in a cloud of smoke  :laugh: :laugh:

thats what i like about Nick and R-Tech - he isn't concerned about the big numbers - its about the useable power :afro:

wait until Alex gets his mapped - Steve_PD has just had a 200bhp map loaded onto his car!  :shocked:

Im going to be too scared to race Alex after the remap in case I get embarrassed lol :D

(bring it on :D)

From the sounds of it thought he still quite away from the remap, he wants a new clutch and fly wheel before and that, as you know lol, isnt cheap :(

because we want to drive VW's - not Vauxhalls  :tongue:

plus mine and Steve's are diesels - the pool car we got in work is a Saab 93 diesel and its shocking - it has no go whatsoever!

My MG ZR Turbo was 261bhp and would have pi#sed all over your Saab and no ones flirting over 130/150bhp they are saying about when they are mapped.
