What he said ^^^  A BT Ed30 (compared to a S2+ ED30) would only be quicker once well into triple figures in real world driving. Big lag + FWD are never going to be fun IMO and by the time you do get traction you will be well over the national speed limit. Unless of course you run it on slicks permanently and it's bone dry..
TTRS would be my choice.. RS4 would be a step backwards in terms of performance unless you charge it and have DEEEEEEEEEEEEP pockets..

RS4 to me is a step forwards. Not as quick as GTR in stock form. Quicker than an 1M I'd imagine & will make the most of the power due to high levels of traction. Can't beat a high power, high revving motor. Especially a V8 :party:

You won't get any arguments from me on that one mate. Only problem with the RS4 is most aren't high powered and make well under their claimed figures..  :sad1:

RS4 is a nice car but I've seen stage 2+ eddies shock them, when you realise what we compare a 2+ Eddie too you realise what a great car it is  :sad1: outright running costs and reliability it's a great car, I'd be silly to buy a gtr in  this climate :rolleye: just for speed

I've got a set of R 1 R toyos on at the moment and I can get full grip in 2ND  :driver:

Sorry for the delay  :ashamed: Got the new lights fitted, will clean the car later and get some pics up  :party:
I'm a bit stuck at the moment as I'm waiting to hear from revo about some new bolt on parts, I'm in two minds on weather to buy a nissan GTR or :sad1: hit the big 500 bhp with the golf  :sad1: golf will be far cheaper to run than a GTR and current climate it wouldn't be a great move! I was massively disappointed with the RS3 I tested so that's out of the question! 1M isn't my thing either, I'm hoping revo will bring me good news  :popcornsoda:
Where are the at LED light pics  :popcornsoda:
I'll get some up tonight, I keep forgetting to take them at night

Not much has happened recently, this weekend ill be getting it ready for inters, full service etc,some pain correction, wheels need a refurb but ill wait till I see some colour choices at inters, I did like red robins shadow chrome but I'm unsure, few more updates from Revo too so will see what it does on the 1/4 mile,
Decided to keep the car and go all out
Next on list is brakes and,suspension but I'd like to fit it all in one Go 
See you at inters
