Volkswagen Golf TSI 1.4

A damn quick pocket rocket.

It pulls away from me so easily like I am not moving.
I can only imagine what its elder brother can do.

What it is?
It is the Volkswagen Golf TSI 1.4.
240NM of torque from 1400 rpm all the way to 4500 rpm.
All this torque for use in between the rev that is most used daily.
All this from just a 1.4 litre engine.





Damn.
The more I look at it, the more tempting it has become.

Sigh.
How ar?

Some hope?

Finally managed to meet up with them.

The meeting almost go south. Luckily I am able to think before I act. Previously, I would have turn the whole place upside down.

The rational me manages to work out something with them in order for this problem to be solve.
As this saturday is a public holiday, they agreed to tune the car next week.

A test run on a dyno dynamics dyno machine earlier shows a peak output of 122 HP which translated to about 125 PS.
Hmmm.. but something inside me is not feeling right. Felt like something is gonna happen but I don't know what.

Should I just take out this cams and forget about it or give them a chance to prove it to me?

Hmmm...

Decisions decisions decisions...

Passing the buck..

So after the past week of laying low or so, it is indeed done me lots of harm.

If I would have known that this is how solving a customer problem will be, I would not have purchase the product in the first place putting me in this much hassle.

Now it just confirm what I have been believing so far, if something fails, blame the customer.

Nice ain't it?
:)

Will update more as per the reply I will be getting.

Things to do...

There is a few things that I would need to settle.

First is the club participation in this event here.
ICE MAg Battle Royale 2010.

After much consideration, I have decided to pull the club out from the event.
Reason is that the club is not prepared for this kind of showcase yet and also not in this type of showcase where mainly the focus is on audio and not "performance" oriented products.

Another thing that is currently bugging me is that a certain someone is not really happy with me.
Usually I am not bothered by this but because this certain someone is special to me as I wanted to try to bring our status to another level, hence my unhappiness.

Ah well, let me just settle what I can first and take it one step at a time.
