How very dare you

It still has the stock twin tailpipes - only extras are a ProDrive short shift gear lever/linkage & a fire extinguisher bolted to the passenger footwell.

No idea what top end is - haven't taken it much over a ton as yet, however it gets up to a ton rapidly. Most impressive is the grip - it is shod with Goodyear Eagle F1s which stick like sh!t to a blanket.

Going to give it a run up to the ProDrive Factory open day on Saturday so might get a chance to stretch it's legs a bit then

Which F1's have you got? GSD3's? - I have them on my M3 - grip is great, but wear isn't - about 4k miles from my rears - I suppose thats what a car without traction control does...lol

GSD3's - yep



No traction control on mine either, however at least the grip is shared between all four tyres

Mind you, the deal was, I get the bike, the M3 has to be sold...still havent managed to put her on the market yet...

Apparantly they are VERY difficult to sell, so it might take some time

More difficult for me to sell than for someone to buy - if you know what I mean - had her for about 4 years, and kinda come attached!

Ah well...another one will come along in a few years!

Oh, and still got the VW to look forward to - now kicking out about 160 bhp - not much, but not bad from a 70's 2 litre...

Hooligandan, ignore the chavved up corsas, but if you see a very tidy one with large brakes up front and an intercooler poking out the front, leave it alone It'll rape you

Cheers for the info Daimo, I have emailed him the website hehe, lets see if he is tempted to get even further into debt!

I quite fancy a subaru legacy come winter time if the funds allow!

Bikes rule. Cars are poo.

My work here is done.

I've put GSD3's on the ST and the grip is brilliant, even in the wet. I did have it spinning up in 2nd & 3rd yesterday chasing an RS4. I know I had no chance if he wanted to be serious, but I was surprised how quick it spins up with the traction control switched off. Must be something to do with the remap.
