Sy will be going for a steady state run wrapped in cling film in the morning  :P

No harm in only using 1/4 tank and no washer fluid tho

Tbh after been out in Blades polo you can pretty much floor it and forget. They dont have huge torque so grip isnt really an issue. launch around 2000rpms and then sit back and :indifferent:

DSG will do the rest.

Vrs weighs 1200kg with a 90% full tank.

Make sure you have under half a tank and you'll drop another 20kg off the weight too :happy2:

I too would suggest a shortshift to 2nd gear as the supercharger will definitely overwhelm the tyres if you don't

Don't bother messing with anything of the DSG, just hold it on the brake as you would normally do at a set of lights and then press the fast pedal when the lights turn :smiley:

Its a bit like having a big dog and being a little owner. The dog takes them for a walk not the other way around  :signLOL:

dont think they make u wear a lid at Inters unless u have a cage / open top / or serious monstrous power

dont think Ben or Steve used a lid last year and i certainly didn't.
