    will do, once I have finished fitting my silver heater switches - got them on ebay with a proven weight saving of 300grams, should see my 0-60 down to 6 seconds...

    Mapping the paint thickness makes a HUGE difference to the power/weight ratio, I'll have you know. Jesus, do you people have NO understanding of the correlation between paint thickness and performance?:(

    Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. That's for Dave for affirm.

    Besides, it's not really a question of mattering. But then again, I don't see why it matters to you whether it matters to me.

    I was wondering about the motive. Most people don't invite others into their cars so they can then $lag them off.

    Pre-judgemental? me? Isn't your rhetoric something of an irony :clap:

    why does there have to of been a motive. dave (infact almost everyone) knows matt doesnt like 20vt power delivery, its no secret. dave's a3 was more powerful than alot of a3's, we went out in it, saw what it was like.
    seriously, not everyone has a hidden reason for doing things.
