your brave, i'll give you that lol.

So many threads about this, must be hundreds.

The easiest way is either sell it and buy something quicker e.g. 1.8t

OR engine swap but that's alot of work and money.

I reckon A. Stick a rocket on the back and send it down a ski slope for topgear laughs too. Mind you, it's so heavy it will probably dig in before it gets to the end, and flop off at the bottom! :grin:
