WTF. Its some vauxhall van thing, i need at least 3000rpm to set off, it handles like its literally on marbles at any speed, when you go over 30 the body panels start to resonate badly so you sound like your in a busted spaceship from a cheap hollywood film.

I cant wait to get my car back :(

On that note, here is the shopping list on the way from the states.

Streetwerke/CM Stage IV Clutch
Neuspeed Front 22mm ARB
Neuspeed Race Rear 25mm Tubular Adjustable ARB
Rear adjustable control arms
Defcon Bushing set.

+ anything else i deem to add to the list before tuesday :D
 
Think yourself lucky, I have the 1.3 CDTI version :D:D

It's so slow it just isn't funny, and at the moment I have 6 batteries, a huuuge fan and lots of other crap in the back, it doesn't make pleasant driving, flat out it'll nudge 72mph!!

Awesome power.

I used to own the astra with this engine in... Beat most things on the road. For example Fiesta 1.25s with ease.
 
has your mate got a matching van so you can still have meets, or you going to be a lonely for the next few days/weeks :p

A second class ride is better than a first class walk, so they say. If it was a choice between a crappy van and walking to the bus stop, I'd gladly take the van.

Just imagine how good the Golfs handling and performance will feel when you get it back, driving a crap car is the ultimate performance upgrade ;)
