very well dun, but even a dog rough let is ganna b quicker than a valver. I've never knew a valver 2stay with a let, nd thers only the 1time I knew it was runnin shit nd that was wen the boost pipe came off,
but hey, if u did stay with him crana, gud on ya

does the let fill the engine bay more than a 1.4 sport, i know this sounds daft because it most likely would, i'm just wondering how is the cold air feed fed to the lower grille been trying to do this on my sport but cant find anywhere to feed it
tbh just because he was sat at 130 doesnt mean that as fast as it will go, he just might not have been giving it full beans

didn't say I beat it 150bhp vs 200++ (lol)... Just saying we were side by side at 130ish and it seemed like it was going no were (Might not have not been running right)... more then likley the driver was just at half throttle?
Nice car always thought it needed a bigger engine, looks smart

It's not the car that kills engines. It's shot engines in general or the driver
