biggerbigben 0 Posted May 6, 2006 Nice 1 ben and i say for all of us FINALLY! What power is it running now and is it properly mapped now with new downpipe etc? Can see this been a good long discussion more so now its moving ben lol. Its running about the same as yours at the moment, around 300bhp. But the new downpipe is on etc.. Just need to replace the crap rear box and stick some super unleaded in it and then its booked into Jabba for the 10th June for some fine tweaking and a power run. Hoping for 330-360bhp, but tbh its bloody quick as it is! It was so fun driving it, can't wait till it becomes my daily driver... oooooh oooooh move over you bloody slow Lambo... hehhehehehehehe :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted May 6, 2006 go ben! I thought the 4wd was supposed to provide traction in adverse conditions lol errrhhhh yeah it helps but when all the wheels spin its a bit of a handful, FUN, but a bit of a handfull none the less... I don't care, it rocks !!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We use to rag so many cars around that thing... raced the corrado up there back when it was a 16v, got beaton by a bloody 2.0 mondeo, lol... If we sort a weekend then any of you I'm sure will be welcome if you fancy a tyre trashing sesh! :wink: Talking of tyres, I went in a VR6 with cut slicks on wed night, I think I know what the new tyres are going to be once these ones are shot!

Hope your house is big enough for all the guys off here lol for sure mate... plenty of room... I'll get something sorted mid summer time, could camp at the farm as its right on the coast, so could camp on the beach, have a fire, get very drunk .. etc etc..
