Hi
Can we create a thread which will make a Landyzone analyses of home brewed go faster supplements, you have added to your Defender which do actually make it go faster.
The theme for this thread was created in our local laboratory (the PUB) for anyone not used to the term PUB ours is an alcoholic drinking hostelry which closes at 23:00 hours and this was at 22:30 and six hours of drinking alcohol prior to the creation of this thread.
What started this thought process was my wife rides an MV Agusta F4 motorcycle which is apparently quite fast (I dont do bikes) but she is adamant that if she uses ear plugs she is able to travel faster on her bike than without ear plugs.
This got us thinking of other go faster add-ons we have all used which were not sold as performance enhancement devices.
To get the ball rolling:- It was unanimous around the table that a radio turned on and tuned into your favourite music channel will aid performance, but if you add a CD player loaded with heavy rock than this will further enhance your performance by as much as 10%. This may me more if you drive high performance cars such as Skoda Rapid or better which none of us have.
What will not count is Go faster stripes because we heard accounts of as much as a 30% increase in performance accountable to Go faster stripes we believe this not to be true as the general consensus was at max it could only be 5% increase as the added weight of the paint will reduce the effect of the stripe.
What do you use which has enhanced the performance of your Land Rover Defender?
