Ever play that game where you put your forehead on a broom handle and run round and round it....stand up and see how far you get?

NO? Well it's about as much fun as this:

Break an ankle :orb_skiin and put your octy to good use. Most welcome in the faboka house hold. :orb_rocki

you know the big G's right. it what i'm saving up for now

Sad to say but I would leave the ltd edition as it is. Save some coin and buy a Leon R that ultimately wil be a better car.

gt28 is a pointless conversion.

go k04 / e05.

spend the rest on lessons.

paul, why do you think the garret is a pointless upgrade? not knocking just curious

more power than the chassis can handle without making it a race car.. would have been nice on mine but it was a track car. totally waste of effort on the road.. go and buy a rwd sports car if you need that level of grunt.

the car simple becomes a chore to drive... thats not the point of tuning in my book.

in what way can't it handle it? do you mean constantly playing to keep it gripping?

what are the cost implications of E05 and AM04?

I say "Go Skiing" and don't do the break ankle routine.

Lets face it, surely the cars fast enough for everyday use, and you could probably do with a vacation.....

Or put it another way - which one would make you more popular with "her indoors"?

Hmm, very interesting.

I'll tell you what I know from experience and the cars with gt28s i've been involved with, one in particular a curtain black RS.

At low revs it drives like any other RS i've ever been in apart from all the bangs and pops.

The owner has had 57mpg out of it at 70mph, yes you read that right 57mpg.

You don't get the massive amounts of wheel spin if you map it correctly.

When you squeeze the loud pedal and hold it down there it will blow away most anything with out much fuss.

It makes the most outrageous induction noise which if you bottled would make you a fortune.

All this on a standard gearbox and uprated clutch (which obviously is not going to last).

This car is an absolute dream to drive.

Waste of effort, Let me think for one millisecond, NO!!

still maintain its pointless.

turbo conv 3k

box 2k

clutch 700

susp 1k

bushes 300

wheels 1k

interior 1k

aero 500

so 8.5k to do it properly ..... to a standard where the car is reliable and setup to handle it....

doesnt seem such a great idea any more...

and i am one of the few people who has spent as much as you des.....

It's only money, it's no good to you if you don't spend it.

Colin...Colin....Colin...we've had this converation many times before and both you and me know the answer is an EVO.

But back to Earth......

E05...solid

Why on earth would you want a EVO. :confused:

We already stuff them round the track not to mention the running costs.

4K services.

Sshhh.....

Don't want to go off thread but are there any reports of track days anywhere? Saw the one with a certain octy saying bye bye to the scooby's.Any pointers for where I can verify the evo tale?

You would need at least 14 days in NZ BTW

Apparantly there is a small difference, only 500rpm though.
