I got a TT Z recently at a complete bargain - and compared to my NA - which is quite modded - its not bad - but im getting blown 0 - 60 by GTO's !! Its doin my head in, what sort of bar standard do GTOs run ? ? Im trying to compare them as they seem to weigh the same, and drive similar - but im not running a BC, just BOV,Apexi Cone and HKS Super Drag exhausts. Still getting nailed - so im buying a BC !! Any help with this would be ace !!

Got to use my fog light conversion (inner brake lights) in anger for the first time yesterday. When it was fitted I tested it thoroughly and everything was ok. Now when I use it and hit the brake pedal the 'lights' warning message pops up on the dash. I've checked all the lights and everything seems to be working fine. Any ideas what's going on there then?
