One last razz in the Corolla last night on the Autobahn. Going to miss that noise.

Rubbish launch and 90KG worth of interior & spare wheel etc put back in. Was noticeably quicker without.
Recon I could have got a 14.7 at pod if I took it back. Shed a fair few more kilos from it and fitted much better tyres since I got my 14.91.

Why tho?

Why video the speed man.

No speed limit on the autobahn.

acme lives in germany, he only picks up his cars from uk! clearly that video was taken on the autobahn!

Akagi · 2 Nov 2018 at 10:27

Despite living in Germany I have trimmed the video down a bit.

I forgot that the Police search through Youtube videos to find people doing acceleration runs (hint, they don't) so that they can spend loads of resource on proving who was driving the car at the time, whether the car was on a public road, in this country, or even moving (hint, they can't)

Yaayuh! · 2 Nov 2018 at 10:48

I remember when Blackhawk did an acceleration run in his A1, it was obvious (and stupid) as hell

Akagi · 2 Nov 2018 at 10:51

Yes you're right, it does sound quite nice for a 4 banger doesn't it.

Bunch of miseries.

It looks a mess, it may go around a corner once but then the wheel is liable to fall off and you die in a firey boom.

Unfortunately, new job means I've gone from having a company van + fuel card to now having a 30k mile a year commute

Is that the job you were talking about at Curborough?

Yea

going to be a bit different from fitting windscreens.

Edit: the last few years messing with tuning have paid off though

Nice one Phil, properly chuffed for you! I know you're going to really enjoy it so well done.
