Sorry guys, the reveal is being delayed week after week. The engine is all done up now and it's just pending upholstery and tuning. The tuner was busy with Malacca drag, then MSF the next week and unfortunately I had a family member pass the most recent weekend so the car is just parked there at the moment. Hopefully this coming weekend we can get it tuned so I can drive it to the upholstery.

It's running way too rich to do anything. To give you an idea what the big turbo was like with those insane injectors, right now with the rich tune and the smaller turbo and injectors - new spark plugs were swapped in, drove it 1km-ish to friends house to park and the plugs are dead. That's how rich the tuning is.

Random Post Every 5 Minutes

My company has very kindly allowed me to pick my own company car (woohoo!) and I've narrowed it down to a few makes/models after test drives. I'm not particularly knowledgable about cars which is why I'm here to get feedback from more knowledgable people (aka you).

Criteria are:
Efficient running costs (fuel consumption, maintenance costs etc etc)
Driving experience.

Makes/Models:

#1 BMW 320i
#2 Audi A4 1.8 TSI (comes with Bang & Olufsen as standard :D)
#3 Volkswagen CC
#4...
