Yeah Matt it is....
She told me she could get 80 miles to a tenner, I don't know how she used to drive it, but it costs me about 30 quid to do that ROFL.
Marv why won't you be with your Corsa? How long you back for? I'll not be out in mine this week (still got Clio though so not all bad) as I've had a bit of a mishap with the Corsa already!

Marv there can only ever be one car like that! I hope you find the area is nice enough to bring the car down. I remember you had problems before 
I think I've come on boost and got wheelspin over a VERY sharp object! Had to limp home all the way from Rotherham like that! Oddly the tyre has not gone flat, but its only a matter of time before it blows out I think, so its parked up having a rest until I get a couple of tyres!
Fetch all your hardcore CD's down with you dude

torque steer will only affect you too much if you wait too long before selecting a higher gear, over torque is another problem in its self, i'd check your torque isn't unbalanced, could prove costly in the gearbox department

Can you tell by driving the car if it is torque steer or over torque? I'll let you cast your eye over it if so....

usually when your in say 3rd at mid rpm 3000-4000 the car will try and pull but not actually go much faster as the 'pull' would suggest, do you get what i mean?

you could savage a brand new gearbox within 500miles if it was to be doing that, which i doubt as you bought it already mapped etc

The box has done a few miles, so don't think it will be doing that Venom. When I get to 3000-4000rpm the car does shift AND pull...
Paul_J got a pic of these skirts? Have been toying with the idea of skirts, but I dunno....
Matt_H that will of been Will not me driving it, as I'd not paid for the car then. I know he's given it some tonk!
Another pic, but before the Speedlines went on.....

Cheers guys, new wheels do make the car look a lot better I think. If you look at the speedlines close up they could do with a refurb though....
Kerry.... Race ON!
