The way the dash instrument indicators are lit up makes me wonder whether they fiddled with the dash to fix the speedo needle in place

Looks quite nippy to me

I'd have loved to have seen a video in the day with the readout from a GPS though.

Can E30 run 300kmh? 
With all the tuning out there, even the most powerful ones (360hp) do not run faster than 260kmh. This is due to gearing, not to the weight or air resistance and such.

Did this guy change the gearbox, or what?

i was thinking the same is the box set up for that

Also, I wonder how long the turbo and other parts would live, given that kind of power. 
420bhp.... I think 300bhp is not enough  :embarassed:, but 420 is too much for FWD, too much. Not cost-effective at all.

I bet in 5th in wet weather. 
I think it is a waste (also of money, but hey, who am I to say what to do with the great car that E30 is)

I doubt he really got above 180, even if he did hes flipping crazy for taking a golf to that speed !

I take it that's REAL WORLD speed not on the speedo mate? As I've seen many go well over 260kmh on the clock..
