Not my finest moment but when your railing a much faster bike your do anything to try and keep behind it haha .

That’s not a bad shout , I’ll get the wife on to that

Have you seen the Toledo on YouTube with a 3.6 turbo in it from a Passat r36 , that’s a mental car

when you say don't drone, how do you mean?
does the system you've got burble away on idle? or is that the drone bit ?

By drone I mean when at 70mph on motorway you can have a conversation with the passenger :) yea on idle it burbles and when using launch control it sounds like a bomb going off , best of both worlds

I’ll hook the go pro up and get some clips for you

hia mate cars going in tomorrow for a milltek catback non res.
I was just wondering what else you had done to your motor as the exhaust guy reckons for the downpipe sports cat a stage 2 remap is needed.
which inturn requires a front mount ic, intake and 4bar fpr.

any thoughts on this or is this bloke trying to pull my pants down lol ?
