Have fun coming home matey. Can't wait to see it. Shame it wasn't at Gaydon.

So Maz - how much fun did you have (apart from the traffic jams)?!

DaveEllen · April 1, 2004

He's on his 3rd lap of the m25 :duh:

Maz · April 1, 2004

well i set off Thursday Morning around 6:30am, and there nothing but traffic jams, then th heavy rain, finally got to TDI around 11:30am, sort everythings out, then Marks have to show me how to use all the new toys...hehe :D :D :D ... after poking around for a bit, i say goodbye to Mark, and heading back home to work, took 4 hours to get home, but oh boy...how much fun did i have.....ALOTs....hehe :) :) :) here what i found...

The B&M quick shift was better than i though (after i read some of the post about it), and i have no problems with it, and it feel rock soild and pretty easy to use, also didnt find it noisy either, except sometimes when you go over very bad road surface, other wise its great...oh forgot to mention the bodybuilding reverse gear, but i find that at long as i seat toward the driver door and push it hard, its pretty easy to find reverse...

Now the TTE SC, well what can i say, its fantastic B) B) , the improvement is great, and it also sound great too, the only thing worry me at once points is i couldnt find a Shell garage on the M1 that had Optimax until i got to near Leeds, and im low on fuel at the times..hehehe :D :D :D those HKS gauges is great too, so is the Apexi speed meter, alll i need is to learn to change the reading from Km to M....

The coilover and the EDFC is good too, been playing around with the setting on the way back, and now with those Japsai under braces and anti-roll bar, the handling of the car is great.... :) :)

overall, thank Mark and the gang at TDI, for the great work you guys put in, and now the IS is ever more fun to drive than before..........I Love it.... B) B)

will post some pictures when i get the car clean.....

Funny you should say that Dave, i was having so much fun, i forgot to turn off at M11 and end up driving all the way round on the A406 to get off on the M1 the other side of London......... ;) ;) ;)
