Re: how quick?

i suppose high end speeds is a little optimistic :D

A friend said he was getting well over a 100 in his 106 rallye (with gti motor + rallye box) on one of the striaghts... and he was maxed out, bearing in mind the short ratio's

might be the top end of third then, thats around the 90 mark? 8)

Doing a trackday in april on t...

Can anyone suggest how i can run a speed signal cable (for Sat Nav) from my ECU in the boot to inside the cabin.

I have looked and there are large gromets through from the boot, but i cant see where they enter the cabin!
