Don't open the garage, they may take bits off your garage door to mend the tractor!  :o

I have had my 2.2DTI chipped from the standard 118bhp and is now in or around 145bhp.  Well it was not really chipped, rather remapped.  Nice big difference in power and torque but my g/f's 130bhp passat can still blow it out of the water.

 Yer but what's the point of bragging about it, if you girlfiends VW blow's you out of the water  ;D ;D, it might have something to do with her car is a 8v engine (better low down torque) than your 16v and it's possible a lot lighter car as well (10 kgs = 1bhp of free power) 8-)

Yeah I think it down to her having a better engine, lower weight and better turbo.

Mrs. KW has already almost trashed my electric door opener by driving her MX 5 into it >:(

If they look in my garage they'll find a sack of coal and some logs - so maybe it could also be upgraded to a cleaner fuel while we're thinking about things like LPG!  :P
