So after having driven the car for some miles now there are a few things I need/want to solve:
- There is a rattle from under the gear stick, most apparent when it's in 4th.
- I think the exhaust is way too loud. It's a complete Jetex system from the cat back at the moment. So 2.5" with GTi6 center box and Estate rear box. Maybe want to try and swap the rear box for a derv one. Also compliments the sleeper look a bit more.
- There seems to be a flat spot in power low down the rev-range. From 4000 rpm upwards it pulls good, but low down it's not what I would expect. The speedo is working, so probably not the VSS. I'll try and measure all sensors coming days. I think I'm going to RR it anyhow, see if my feeling matches the figures.
Otherwise handling is excellent, the extra weight of the engine compliment the Bilsteins way better than the lighter TU. Also really like the tires!
