I love high speed. If I still had my 56K, I wouldn't be watching this video. Still waiting for it to download, but it will only be about 5 min.

That was great. Would have liked to hear the sweet sounds of the engines a little more, but still great.

Very nice video

/adds to collection

Directfreak, when you accellerated to join the motorway and overtook all those FD's, was that foot to the floor? What gear and how much boost were you running?

Just curious, it's nice to see what my car will eventually perform like

Thanks, my car would smoke all those in the video. I was still breaking in the engine, so it was only 10lbs of boost, 3/4 throtle,2-3 gear shifting at about 5500 RPM.

It was also REALLY hot that day - over 100.

This is taking forever to open

But worth the wait. Was that an Audi TT I saw?

A stock third gen is no problem. They need at least 400hp or more to keep up with my car.

You probably will soon. My friend with a single Turbo third gen wants to Race me.

He has the same engine and same turbo, except
he has a Haltech installed. I rode in his car and it IS
NASTY FAST.

But...

I think I might be a little faster, especially with
my drag radials.

I can smoke a stock or mildly modded 3rd gen, without too much trouble... Until you throw a corner into the equation, then it's game over. Sorry, off topic.

You still waiting on your ECU to be fixed, DF?

Had it back for months, but I wanted to break in the engine on the Holley.

ECU should be going in a couple of months..

Times like this make me wish I didn't have a old iMac... I downloaded the video (overnight) and all I get is sound. According to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ad/default.asp I can only get up to version 7 with OS 9.0 which is what I have

So all I get is some damn music! I'd much rather hear some rotary music!

DF,
Hey, who was the other very clean 1st gen turbo? The blue one? The wheels look great. What size and offset are those rear wheels. Those caught my eye

Nice job on the vid!!

Hey I'm right there with you, but I don't have problems even when the road gets twisty

Music Video of the Year, who needs to see the artists when you got works of art like those. Too bad you guys didnt meet a large group of ricers.
