Just for the record my 125 bhp 1.6 16v is pretty much level with 106 gti's/vts's in a race, they do pull on me very very slightly....

Put it this way, if my mate has his gf in his car who is tiny about 7 stone, then its dead level on the duel carraigeway...

lmao honestly smoke really does suck, but then again i suppose u can say " I jus smoked a vtr " Literally (lame ?) lol

The exhaust manifold has made a difference tbh, but it was still holding back - so i looked everywhere ... the timing was a notch out !!! So i sorted it today and its now awsome (H)
