If this is true then perhaps like Mic's secret tunes, it's also not reflective of what 'standard' mods should yeild in terms of performance. I have never confessed to having "standard" mods. Most of my mods were original and all were cost effective and produced results. Somethings are better not posted on public forums and are better left to phone conversations and the like. If you'd like to know more about the exhaust mods that Boof had give me a ring and I'll tell you all the details. As many have before you. I'm looking forward to getting Rumble back tomorrow. Amberley's have done some intake work aswell as fitting my Xede in place of the Unichip. I decided on this course of action so I could utilise the 2 maps that the Xede offers. I intend to have the switch mounted near the gear selector. I might even be able to utilise it at the drags. If the performance map has trouble with traction I can launch with the 270rwkw map and when I hit second flick the switch to the 3??rwkw map and that should get me into the 11's on street tyres, with a cat. :lol: Geea.

(not good for times - too eager to beat the T beside me maybe). At least next time I go, I know how to launch - and more importantly how not to!

No doubt the auto is much easier to run than the manual, I'm just stating what I saw on the day though.
