      Yup. Or poorly matched components. In this case it's probably the tune. I didn't wanna be the one to say it, though...


      At the end of the day it sucks when you have to pay to play. Sorry to hear about that, Graeme.

              wasn't debating that.
              i was wondering if the guy that tuned it had anything to say as he was no more than 50' away in the pits.

                I dunno who tuned it. I just don't know why he'd let a car leave his hands with a massive misfire and think it's okay. It's better to say "I can't fix it" then "have fun ur car is done".

                Hopefully that guy learned and will admit failure next time

                  Didn't you just sell a tdi golf that you'd used to d/d when you were working on your car? If so that sucks doubly!

                  Cool that you're being so mellow about it, I guess that's a BTDT perspective.

                        Been there done that? Haha, never destroyed an engine before . No reason to get bent out of shape about it though

                        Ya, sold dad my TDI so that worked out.
