Sean's (& Ed's & Scott's) Astor GTi6
Right I still reckon its broken. Feels lumpy and annoying whenever I'm not battering the arse out of it. But meh, I dunno what else to check, so until I next bump into niall and he feels like pping my car again whilst we drive, i'm f*cking leaving it!

Anyways, I swear on the upside it's quicker with the Pipercross Viper induction kit fitted. Could just be the cold weather, but I popped into the local runway the other night, bunged my GoPro on the dash, and got a cheeky 0-somethingnorthof60 in Wink

Here for a limited time before I remove it:

I reckon that's pretty quick tbh!!

and before anyone asks, DEFINITELY a flat road, and in honesty I reckon it'd have been faster if I'dnot had to manage the wheelspin due to the tyres being so cold in this weather!!

Meh; I've consistently timed it at 6.5secs to indicated 60mph, and about 11.5 to top of 3rd.... In my book that's pretty quick, particularly given the rubbish start where I had to completely lift off. But fair enough if you've been in quicker!

But yeah, christ I didn't realise how slow the Skoda was!!! Could definitely be worse Tongue

Scary when it's the other way around though, pull out of slip road, put foot down a bit, then look down and realize you've sailed well into three figures lmao

At the moment, i've cut the standard inlet duct from the grille to make a bigger hole. I've then cut it just as it comes over the slam panel, and jubilee clipped the ducting form the viper to that for winter. In summer I'll be taking the cold feed from the foglight probably, but it's too low down there for winter!!!

I'll try and get a pic over lunchbreak if you're interested Smile

In fairness Neil, your '6 is slower than a phase 2.5 GTI with my fat ass behind the wheel, so Ed's could just be a little quicker than standard, jus sayin. Popcorn


Ed, it does look pretty quick Smile nice video, smooooooooooth Smile

There is an anti crash device that you can buy to protect your Diablo. It's called 4 pots.

Looks good, appears to be about roughly normal for a car weighed down with that many raccoons

Why, when I open this thread and as the title of the last few posts, does this say 'Scott's fully-working.....'?
