    i ONLY WENT ON THE BACK OF A FRIEND FROM WORK, HE HAS A TWIN TURBO SUPRA, SPENT LOADS AND ENDED UP WITH 360 bhp, HE IS WELL PLEASED, (DAM CAPs lock)

    Anyway, I had a power run, cost me £60 takes about half an hour, not that impressed, although the gear was ok, we have a rolling road nearby (5 miles) so might book a power run there main reason for going was to hope that they could av a look at the hesitation I have wiff me motor, boost, no boost, boost no boost, really drives me mad, it's ok if you punch it hard in sports mode, but it's wierd when driving "normal" runbit surprised that the horses were not higher, torque is, will boost to 14LBs occasionally, but not consistent.

    Good choice of plates. Hope santa manages to drop them down your chimney ok
    Yes! Very similar scenario here. Think RICA must be very high up on the list of relationship problem causes. Although mine said I could have it, she wasn't impressed when she saw the bill.
