ripped6 Donating Members 246 Member For: 13y 4m 12d Gender: Male Posted 18/10/12 01:12 AM Author Share Posted 18/10/12 01:12 AM will you be letting your mate drive this one?no one will ever drive one of my cars again. though the current one has got absolutely nothing on the old one! going to try running e85 and if that doesnt help to give it some balls then a bigger turbo is the next step. worst part is I'd rather be driving my brothers 265rwkw BA 5-speed manual because its so much more fun to drive. I feel like an old man in this. only good thing is the sound of the overboost valve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't paid much attention lately on FGs but I remember with the BA's it was getting a bit tight in regards to safety...Sounds a bit like a "back in my day" story....

Same same but different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
