^^^ You will have to get Wigit out of his new (and very slightly camp) Fiat 500 before he will be back to get some proper mods on his Rocco  :P

Post by: kev@kpm on July 21, 2011, 10:05:27 pm

i heard its pink........... :ashamed:

Post by: geordie56 on July 21, 2011, 10:17:30 pm

I just can't believe you're in your fiat over a decently tuned rocco what's all that about! I know mines becoming more of a track toy but I couldn't downgrade as far as a fiat I'd rather have best of both and just not mod the rocco quite so much and use it for both surely you can save money that way can you not wigit? And more importantly please tell me it's not pink! Kev 309bhp bloody he'll pal what's that had done to it?

Title: Re: KPM GTI
Post by: kev@kpm on July 21, 2011, 10:58:21 pm

I have to say firstly, I know nothing about wigits 500. Infact I think they're quite good fun. if one of my boys grows up to be an air steward, I might even buy them one before kicking them out. Anyway, I told steve I wasn't gonna darken the forum with my smokey diesel tales, but he assures me people will be interested. I will try and get some photos up soon, it is a 140 tdi base engine with some kpm loving over the last year has produced massive power today. Back for some fine tuning to the rollers on Tuesday. And then off to Thailand to race it.

Kev i dont own a diesel but would love 2 read a thread on that as i think with that power it would beat my ed30  :signLOL:

When you off to Thailand kev I hope you're not off checking them lady boys out ha! You're not taking the chicken nugget lover with you are you hell be polishing off more than chicken! Gotta say on a serious note the torque on that thing must be immense youll be have g more cv joints than me.

Title: Re: KPM GTI
Post by: kev@kpm on July 21, 2011, 11:22:15 pm

Only going to chickdickland when the jobs 100% done, there's no way I'm taking the nugget boy with me. We would lose him forever. I will get a thread up soon regarding our tdi, the next project starting next week is a 300 bhp tdi rocco. Can't wait to get into that one.....

so, that lovely golf i once owned was last weekend turned in to some thing not so lovely, my customer that rents it from me thought it looked better upside down....... so its been a busy week here at the shop........ it only needs 1 roof, 1 rear quarter, 2 doors, 2 wings, front bumper, bonnet, front panel and way too much more to list. at least its not out again till next week!!!!!!!! a few late nights me thinks.........
