Was in drag race with a RRS (Diesel) away from lights onto the M25, Blew him away. Knew he was trying as we exchanged looks and he floored it on amber. He had all the bling, 20 inch stormers etc, just made the experience all the more satisfying.
I would say that by 60 I was at least 100 yards ahead, by 90 I could no longer see him in the mirror. Always wanted to know how much faster "back to back" the T/chip was, now I know. GREAT.
Thanks TURBOCHIP, this alone almost makes the £500 worthwhile.

90? surely a misprint sir? One would never exceed the speed limit now would one?

Anybody with a turbochiped (or other modded) D3 fancy a side by side sprint to 60?
I ask, because I'm not sure just how good these mods really are. If they prove to be worthwhile, then maybe I can justify the £600 required.
We could do some rolling tests as well.
BTW. I really hope I need to spend some money!!

I've been thinking about it. I know the moment I tell the insurance company about the screens and the Mantec plate, they'll say ' Sorry sir but we don't insure modified vehicleeees!!'Richard......
2006 HSE Lugano Teal - with screens a DVD....PS2.... Freeview, and MANTEC plate!
2007 XS Commercial Java Black - with leather, Aux Battery and MANTEC plate
It has been suggested that I probably have one of the fastest D3s out there, due to the T/C plus the fact that I have only two seats......
I'm well-up for a 'trial' to see the difference
Not that I've still got a hint of boy racer in me or anything like that.......

I am in yorkshire and would be more than happy to take part in this test, having had the TC treatment done, not sure if simply a drag race, ie 0-60 is just the way to go though, as I see the greatest improvement mid-range, ie overtaking, motorway blasts from say 50mph etc.
would love to come along though Favourite Things:-

Time off.........and did I mention My Disco 3??

Any day you like mate With all that extra weight you have in 'bling' it should be a no brainer
Mind you, if ChrisTyler is to be believed (5 million Horsepower in his D3 you know), his ought to be faster than mine......
Mind you, he does carry an extra half a tonne in his car.... Even when he isn't sitting in it himself
