My AWD Swift GTI

Last weekend I did my first event at Barkston, no major issues so I am well pleased.

very nice after that effort the result must be so worth it

Well worth the 18 months build just for that day, cant wait to turn the boost up

ah ok cool you turning the booooost up then? I'll be there! lol

Not sure yet, really need to put some more miles on it

book a week off and go to a different sea side as far away as possible everyday...that will add around 3500 miles in one week lol

Remapped last week

The power peaks at 5500, Geoff the guy that mapped it thinks I may have an exhaust problem. I have a 2.5" system all the way through, but only a 2" tail pipe. He thinks their is loads more to come, just need to find whats stopping it.

Both the van & I had our first trip down the quarter yesterday, managed a 12.3 which I am more than happy with.

Time slip

this is excelent time! There is a guy with a 500bhp corsa on corsa forum i go, and his best is something like 12.1!! and his ecu controls the boost according to car speed and gears!

wow thats a great launch, i cant wait to get mine running

Thanks for the comments, I am really pleased with the results, it has made the last 18 months building it worth while. First time I have ever done the quarter, but I am addicted & the van held up to the abuse really well, need the nos next

i take my hat off to you. Sir!

can you get in touch with me when you read this please jerry
