Went out round Southend last night to put some miles on the turbo valver and eventually wound up down the seafront doing laps behind a Calibra 16v, seemed slightly modded and it was noisy and seemed pretty quick. Didnt know much about them until I just looked it up, a 150bhp 2.0 16v.
Anyway, just by pure chance I was heading home the exact same way I was so when we got back into the town centre he pulled over and I could see he wanted a proper race, so we eventually got to a set of lights side by side and I threw down the gauntlet...a race up Victoria Avenue and back. Well when we got there the place was jammed with modded motors all going the same way, but we blew them off quite quickly then got onto the open road, up to the roundabout and back down the other side of Victoria Avenue back into town. Tried a rolling start but messed it up a bit. Still, it was a good race, and Id say he won, he got in front of me a couple of times, but considering Im still running it in, and didnt ever use more than 4500 revs, plus I cant floor it or do any harsh starts, I was pretty pleased with it. Its gonna be a monster once I can use the full performance. It was only showing 5psi of boost last night.
