full milltek+S3 FMIC+remap, and from now on, we make our high pressure fuel pump mandatory with this power upgrade stage, because the standard one is just not up to the task.

;)
AWESOME!

Whats it like in the wet?

Quite surprisingly, these cars have an LSD from the factory, so actually it's not bad at all, even with 420 HP, now of course you have to be very careful with the loud pedal in the wet but it's still very manageable.

Minhea, I love the way you drive flat out with all those warning symbols on the dash LOL!

I thought you'd of learnt your lesson when you had the 'incident' in your S4.

Nige, the warnings are: main beams on, tyre pressure monitor module gone (gotta get it changed under warranty) and ESP switched off. Tyre pressure is fine, I checked it before that run :P and the car is super stable at those speeds, plus it didn't take long at all to get there :P

Couldn't read the others, but saw the tyre pressure warning - you don't want a blow out at those speeds.

How did the speedo measure up against GPS?

7450 RPM is the highest RPM I've logged last night and that equals to 292km/h or 182.5mph. The rev limiter is at 7600 and I WILL hit it one day in the Golf :lol: :lol: :lol:
