>>magnecor leads and plugs add 8bhp to a 1.4 16v golf.
>>running a huge arse rad keeping the car cooler will make it go faster.
>>polishing the exhaust manifold just a bit slightly on the inside where the ports are gives 5bhp
>>My mates mk3 1.4 8v golf was rolling roaded at 112bhp and has gti fuel pump, bigger injectors, uprated pistons, pipercross filter, bodged up exhaust

i once ripped into a (now) friend of mine after he said he had a ferrari, he was driving a fiat bravo at the time and i had only met him that day.
He was 19. God i cained him, Really embaressed him infront of everyone.
The next day he came and met us in a 360 Modena. Turns out his dad was and still is a multi millionaire.
What an idiot i looked.
an aquaintance of mine reckons his honda civic type r does 176 mph just because the police stood up in court and said thats what there gun said. (its standard apart from an airfilter)
lol
