Dude, you get used to it so quick. and it's still baby power actually. CorsaT, who was just banned( :lol: ) is running EXACTLY my setup, only with bigger turbo, bigger injectors and better pistons and he hits 205KW.

Pullaways, I get hectic torque steer, but I have mastered wheelspin-less launches, so it get's out of the blocks quick quick.

One of my friends has a Ford Laser RSi, Turboed of course. I can't remember what it makes but it's hectically strong. Last I heard he did a mid 12s 1/4 mile.

I think I should visit him, he told me last time we talked about the car about upping the boost and blueprinting the motor, that was 2 months ago.

Yeah, I'll see if I can find out what the car does currently. But personally I don't want a high powered front wheel drive car, rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive for me.

Yep, awesome car! Up here at altitude it's faster than an M3 and RS4 up to about 180 km/h when stock, and when chipped it's goodbye to both, haha.

does the 135i sedan have the same turbo 3.5 engine? If so, it's gonna be a stonkin little car! Price will probably be stonking too, probably just a bit cheaper than the 3 series...

Hmm, maybe i should catch up on two months Car magines...

It's a 3.0l twin turbo with direct injection which means it has extremely good fuel consumption for an engine like that.
