Out of interest, is there a particular modification you have that causes the turbo chatter at gear change on WOT?

That sounds like an offer to me :D :D

He's gota fix it 1st though Alan  :evil:

Even as it is it is faster than yours Steve :rolleyes:

50bhp jets run okay, so that means 400bhp and 450lbft. :evil:

All in jest John. You Know mine has a job to beat a fully charged Milk float :smiley:

I know you're kidding Steve :smiley: And don't be shy as yours is a swift car too. You just need to get it on a track to let it free :cool:

The standard GTI is too fast in winter when shod with summer rubber.
The traction control is only too happy to activate.

My GSX1300R will do the 1/4  mile in 9.7 seconds.  It stays wrapped up in winter.
