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.......

cheers Rich

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:

lol yeah i love the milltek put it on ya list...  :grin: :evil:

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
