Intrested to see what would have happened had the race been from 40-100.

I feel the GT would have edged it.

We pulled onto park street roundabout side by side, came off onto the M10 towards hemel hempstead at about 40-50mph and we both gunned it. Could hear his GT wooshing away as I went past, its a case of longer gearing with some more power and torque. He had to change well before I did....

by the time I was at about 125ish he was at least 10 cars lengths behind

Caught up with the dude at Milton Keynes cruise, and saw that he had two subs in the boot, but other than that it was equals... one passenger each... half a tank of petrol... etc.

Oliver. I'm so going to hit you.

I told you about two years ago that the X16XE was slow.

You said it wasn't and that your Corsa used to be quick. Now you've got the engine for yourself, what a surprise, you're WRONG.

Its all equalled out now actually thinking about it.

Before my Nova used to be slow at getting away with the SPi pump but now its much faster thats where I used to loose out to Lees 130bhp Corsa GSi, when we used to get to the end of the strip my Nova would be pulling him in even with the SPi pump.

I just need to go to pod and wank on the surface.

I would'nt mind trying a F15 box instead of the F13CR I have at the moment also to see if that makes a difference.

With new fuel pump dead 16.0 - 16.3

I will be happy with that, strip it out again and I might push high 15's.

I pull away good.

I believe the spinning can be attibuted to the F13CR box.

wont make a diff mate JR ran a f13cr on his tuned 1.4 16vand he could control the spin. Think the only diff between the f13 and f15 is slight ratios in 2nd and 5th
