Where do I apply the Delta Time multiplier:

'Calculate the length of the Speed Vector
		Local SpeedVectorLength# = sqr(m_fSpeedX*m_fSpeedX + m_fSpeedY*m_fSpeedY)
		
		If SpeedVectorLength > 0
			'Decrease Speed with Friction if we are moving
			m_fSpeedX:- (m_fSpeedX/SpeedVectorLength) * m_pTEngine.GetFriction() * TDelta.GetTime()
			m_fSpeedY:- (m_fSpeedY/SpeedVectorLength) * m_pTEngine.GetFriction() * TDelta.GetTime()
		Else
			m_fSpeedX=0
			m_fSpeedY=0
		EndIf
		
		Print TDelta.GetTime()
		
		If SpeedVectorLength > m_pTEngine.GetMaximumVelocity()
			'If we are going beyond the speed barrier then reduce our speed
			'with the amount in which it surpases TopSpeed
			m_fSpeedX:+ (m_fSpeedX/SpeedVectorLength)*(m_pTEngine.GetMaximumVelocity() - SpeedVectorLength) * TDelta.GetTime()
			m_fSpeedY:+ (m_fSpeedY/SpeedVectorLength)*(m_pTEngine.GetMaximumVelocity() - SpeedVectorLength) * TDelta.GetTime()
		EndIf
		
		If SpeedVectorLength > 0  
			m_fX:+ m_fSpeedX 
			m_fY:+ m_fSpeedY
		End If

	Method IncreaseVelocity()
		'Create a Acceleration Vector and
		'add it to the Speed Vector
		m_fSpeedX:+ Cos(m_fAngle) * m_pTEngine.GetAcceleration() * TDelta.GetTime()
		m_fSpeedY:+ Sin(m_fAngle) * m_pTEngine.GetAcceleration()  * TDelta.GetTime()			
	End Method
