i dont think any rr figure is gonna be 100% . only way you can know if take it to a couple and work out an average .. its only pub talk anyway, aslong as it goes well on the road that all that matters

it does go pritty well, although not so well when its wet on the roads, lol. how much is it roughly? im not to bothered if its 100% accurate just a rough idea as i have spent a fair bit of money on the engine and id like to no if it is any better than standard.

yes it can get abit annoying even when ya not being daft just trying to put ya foot down abit to pull out of a junction, you get a little bit to much throttle and end up spinning like made. i think a 2 hour drive is abit extreme. your golf is really nice but imo the mk2 is nicer.

sunday 18th jan its the first one of the year and normaly pretty busy so you should get some interesting cars there, and of cours you can run your own car down there and see what you/it can do which imo is better than a rr printout.

one of the reasons i want it RR'ed is because it has ast1612 cams in it and vernier pulleys and id like those to be set up properly. i would like to go down the strip though, looks like a good laugh.
