if the car genuinely doesnt excite you anymore then break it and get something else.
i can see no point tuneing it further it will just be lots of ŁŁŁŁ for little gains.

r32 gtrs are my favourite bang for buck cars, 4wd launch fun, easy tuneable to over 400 whp on a stock engine, air con, comfortably seats 4, tough drivetrain etc.

Dont worry Steve it happens to all modded car owners, the reality that it aint what you thought it would be & all that money . You drive a 20 year old, outdated car same as i do & its hard sometimes to see any sense in that.

You can have too much Power in a road car. I can say that 630bhp on a GT35 was the best mine was on the road, anymore & its not possible to exploit it. Im not bored with my Rover 25 so its not Power that makes you bored/down thats inside you.

LMFAO! I thought this new t38 was the bests thing since sliced bread the way it was being spoke about.

I always say a t34 with blues or 55s is the best road engine, just can't beat it, 2wd and that makes for a proper smile maker

you need to go for a drive with another car on tow, i get bored of mine frequently (mainly as something is always ready to fail) but when i go to a meet and talk about it and give it some beans in convoy, then that's what makes it interesting.
you crave attention, all modifiers do, you just need to get some, a cosworth badge would do that.....

i agree to an extent rod, for road use i turn the boost controller off which is 1.7 bar, doesnt loose much hp but does loose some of the big gulp of torque mid range so much easier to drive.

How can someone get bored to +400 bhp RWD car? God knows what kind of things I would do with 400 hp rearwheel drive! I already have time of my life with bro's 140 hp Taunus so me + powerfull RWD car would equal to hundreds of metres of black stripe on tarmac.

I think you need another car too (if you haven't got one already), some kind of dull, cheap, powerless sled which takes care of everyday driving. I noticed when I used the Cossie few months, seven days a week, I got little bit bored to it. But when I drove to work with Zetec Mondeo and took the Cossie for blast in weekends and sunny days, it felt alot better! I guess you should like the car again if you drive something worse, then you have something crap to compare your Cossie, which makes your 4i cool again. I bet rich people are complaining that 458s, Aventadors and Veyrons are getting boring because they drive them everyday and they don't even remember what it feels like to drive 80's Corolla.

You can use all the power with that spec most of the time and it was probably the best spec for road use.

I don't think the car is as much fun to use now.

Yes its faster now in a straight line but it is harder to drive.

I might find the love again when I blow Moanstone away lol

woosy learn to drive
so what you are saying steve is that you now have too much power lol wimp
be prepared for some serious piss taking if moanstones beats you
It's your age Steve time for a prius and you can bore us to death with the mpg figures and zero road tax
probablymore inline with your tightness
have you just found her latest littlewoods bill or something roflol
Train spotters should not be allowed cosworths by law not even fake ones
You could just park it in the garden and grow tomatoes in it with all that extra glass

Well ive had t3, t34, T4, gt35, gt40, gt4094, sx400, gt42 & gtx4202 on mine Jimbo so perhaps im able to say what makes the best road car & its without doubt the gt35 running 630bhp. A t34 has zero grunt .
