I mean, yes, i do have a nice house. I have a couple of wetbacks named Pablo and Jose to look after my gardens.

When i have a few spare dollars i might add a piano shaped pond on the east wing.

:wink:

Well, before i had the TT i had a single turbo converted GX wagon so ive had the best of both worlds. TT was so much fun to drive and zippy in traffic, and when the occasion called for it i could sink in the wellington and just go for it!

The GT is very linear in power and it all comes on nice and smoothly, a little bit laggy but has a great mid and top end rush. Best thing on the 2.5T is on highway driving in 6th gear, you only have to drop to 5th to overtake and the power comes on strong. I always drive in S# beacuse the rest of the S-I drive settings are bland and you might aswell be driving an NA. I cant see why anyone would buy this car and only use S# occasionally, S and I are MINDNUMBINLY boring!

Get a tune and ask the tuner to put the S# map into the S and I! S is pretty much useless anyway.

pretty sure that my RB had the mindnumbingly boring throttle maps.
hope to have that sorted soon though
all i ask for is a 1:1 relationship between accelerator angle and throttle plate opening.. like has been used in cable-operated throttles for 100 years..!

thanks jim :)

i drive an 02 b4 but will be updrading to a 07 gt spec b soon so just wanted to see what people thought between the two before i get one.

i must say i do love the twin turbo set up and the blue and black leather, its such a fun car to drive and they go pretty hard as well. will miss it.

the gtb sounds like a better option though and looks awesome :)

Jim.

Wax and Grease remover.
Rub it on all of the hoses, get rid of the white deposit stuff around them. Comes off very easily when you use that, or other similar products I guess.

Also, for NSW you need to have that pod boxed in and either sealed at the top with a lid or high enough that it "seals" against the underside of the bonnet. This is one of the first things a cop will look for under your bonnet

Nice zorst :wink:

Thanks Sherlock, i dont really care to be honest. If im going to get pulled over im sure they will find something else to defect me with, so it doesnt really matter to me. I wasnt born yesterday.

But thanks for the comments :D
