How do you get the extra top end speed past 150mph - surely thats not down to a remap... that needle was moving really fast??? :rolleye:
Give me specs!!! :wink:

....OEM speedos are not accurate - It won't be reaching a true 150 mph. For example, when my speedo is displaying 100 mph I'm doing 86 mph on GPS (both Road Angel and PogoAlert). The margin of error is greater at higher speeds.

Oh its reaching 150 mph all right Robin :wink:
That Particular car reached 480Bhp on PSI's Rolling Road last weekend... now i know you'll probably say it wont be as accurate as JKM's RR but 480 horses give or take does leaves a little margin for error... :laugh:

....I was just passing general comment in response to Mo. If someone wants to claim their car can do a certain speed it's only meaningful with more accurate speed measuring equipment than the oem speedo.
On the appropriate German autobahn my VW speedo will show I'm doing 150 mph but I'm actually in the 130's according to GPS.

The video was more of a "look how fast the needle goes around" rather than "how fast it in MPH it goes".... But yes I agree speedos are usually out, a MKIV is a bit more accurate than a MKV iirc although his has been GPS'd well off the clock too.
It's a MKIV 1.8T (bored to 2.1 now I think) and running some very impressive hardware. However, in true sleeper style, you'd never guess to look at it.
Anyways...
No John, I'll be as-is this time around, no more mods. S3 arms/HPFP & 'cooler going on for Rockingham in March though.
john_o:
dont you lose some of the WALK arm benefits though going to S3 arms?
or are they lightweight AND dynamic castor changing ?
tony_danza:
You've got camber and caster mixed up.
More caster gives dynamic camber, so S3 arms with more static camber will just add to that dynamic effect.
