You're making good steady progress and that's what counts!You'll definitely hear more turbo noise once you're at 2+. Lots of whoosh tish goodness Thanks AJP I've got to a stage where there no turning back no refunds and no frills lol thinking of going quattro now seems a little too ££££ for my liking so I'll hold back now Yeah it's definitely a case of no going back once you get to a certain point. I'm the same, and the fact I took the opportunity to uprate the clutch makes me feel obliged to go all out with the power to make sense of having an uprated clutch! 4wd would be a truly transformative mod. Big money, yes, but being able to actually get the power down in the lower gears will make it a completely different car. I'd say a 2+ k03 car with 4wd would be a much faster car than say a 300-350bhp k04 car with 2wd up to about 80mph. Point to point, tight 2nd/3rd gear corners are where the advantage will pay off. It'll just grip and launch you out of the bend rather than scrabbling for grip. Mine will struggle getting the power down in 3rd if I floor it too early coming out of a corner. Understandable with 345lb/ft really. You'll find out for yourself once you're mapped up to 2+. I don't really do any launches, 0-60 kind of stuff, as it's just asking for wheel hop. Sometimes, if the tyres are nice and hot it'll hook up properly in 2nd, but it's rare.

Can't drive get out the fu***** seat brother of disaster why people have fast cars they car handle on a bend I don't know I wish I could go quattro but sadly it's to late and way out of my budget so going ro stick some decent tyres on lower her track her up and go like the wind
Event budget crap on the front and Avon ZV5 rear
Yes mate all this time I'm thiking the cars shot when in reality I have crap tyres and never thought about those till mentioned a good few times I like the Eagle F1's so may go that direction as the grip around bends is awesome MPSS Michelin pilots?
