wouldnt run "worse", it would be told to run different though surely.........ect sensor related for one?

piston to bore clearance not taken up?.......when its cold and slapping wouldnt you get more blow by and less compression?
Are you suggesting that if you did a cylinder leakage test on your cold YB that it would FAIL the test Matt? Of course it wouldnt. A totally wankered engine may well run worse cold due to lack of compression, but thats kind of irrelevant to the topic IMO.

The fact is, the cold fuelling and spark tables in most YB engines out there are garbage and need a week or two's mapping to get them a bit more sensible. Or are you all going to tell me your parents BMW's etc all run like shit when cold as well? How about your dads rather sexy new M3 Matt? Other than its ECU induced cold rpm limiter, does it drive noticeably different cold to hot?
wasnt suggesting anything of the sort, i was asking if you would get worse compression on a slapping cold yb thats all

ive only driven it once so cant comment on the m3 BUT i very much doubt its any different. on my my test run i did note that the m3 appeared to have a passenger scream "running in" at driver above 5k rev limiter

cassie's clio kangaroo's to fuck when thats cold so hers defo drives differently
