No k03 car will come close to a 2+ CDL.

Thanks for the nice comments,
Have you got the loba pump on yet ? And tuned would like to know what figures you made!!
Ps the boys at r tech have got a very long booking in time!!! But they the only one I trust so be worth the wait

Yeah they're worth the wait, definitely.
As it happens the pump went on today, but it's still at Statller's as it needs a new injector!
As for power, it's making 270bhp and 345lb/ft on the recent Stage 2 map, and I'm going to stay on that map for the time being. The Loba, for now, is primarily for avoiding the fuel cuts I've been getting with the Stage 2 map. But it means that when I go k04 I'll have one less thing to worry about.
I could do the intercooler and intake, then get a 2+ map put on, but I've decided to do the turbo while I'm at it and go straight to a Stage 3 map once all the hardware's sorted.
It should run nicely on the Stage 2 map with the Loba.

The Mk6 R is actually a pretty rare car, just 1,088 were sold in the UK according to this article

I had a Mk6 R in white previously and you definitely don't see many white ones.

Looking at that review make me feel a little better about my paint as their R also has the rear bumper in a different shade :smiley:
And yours looks great

Looking great mate, only ever seen 2 mk6 r's on the road and one was my mates. Anyone know the actual number on uk roads?

Is the figure 2500 just white r's or all of the mk6 r's?
