Josh Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Oh yeah and my insurance is only £942 with Admiral. That's with 0 NCB so once I add the 3 years from my Golf it should go down a decent amount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 It gives great presence doesn't it? It does. Had some bad boy in an Evo up my arse on the way back as I was only doing 30 then as I turned off he floored it off and held it at the limiter for a bit lol Had so many looks from people too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, thanks I think the Evo guy was trying to get me to floor it but there's no way that was happening! I might have a go at WOT as long as it's bone dry in the morning as there's a nice open dual carriageway going onto the M5, about 3/4 of a mile of straight 70mph road Then round the island and back down the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 If you get used to it in this weather, you'll absolutely love it in the summer! I had an evo up my arse yesterday... fortunately this guy was just literally too close rather than pushing me to have a race. I would have kicked it's arse with my 5spd.

Josh Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 My thoughts exactly..... WOT on day one after driving a golf and zero no claims...... good luck posh Tomorrows Thread - I am now a UKTT6 owner (its crashed but I still own it) I have 3 years NCB. They're on my Golf but are being transferred over when the Golf insurance is up on Wednesday. I won't try WOT in every gear, just in 3rd for a few seconds. Just to see how quick it is. Not from 0-however fast I can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 WOT can mean just foot to the floor for a split-second I won't thrash the car, just a bit of foot down action for a few seconds to see how it accelerates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Have you got a little blue led that signifies you are "on boost"? Nah, I just have my ears lol There's a boost gauge fitted but obviously there's not much time to look at how high it's going. It lights up blue and looks pretty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Enjoy your new car and remember, all it takes is a few seconds while the second turbo kicks in and then it could be, oh dear im part of the scenery. Freezing wet rds are not the place to be WOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytotheB Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have a little blue LED... because my boost controller is located in the arm rest, to make it look stock. Plus, my Drager is pretty loud after 3.7k rpm Are you getting cocky with your TT6 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing wet rds are not the place to be WOT Thanks Dunk I'll make sure it's really dry tomorrow and if not then no quick driving for me I wanted it mainly for looks and to be a TT for speed when it's wanted/needed.
