Ha ha!! It's a 999cc, a pint sized engine with a good little growl at about 5k revs and it can stop on a sixpence. Literally 60-0 in about 5 metre!!  :driver:

Can't find any model trim details about it (tempted to plug it into VCDS) but according to Parkers it has the following specs:

it could be a Take Up, move Up, Rock Up, High Up or Black Up sorry, Up Black, Up White or Groove Up. And for the Geordies there's an E-Up!
0-60mph: 12.
Powah: 73 bhp
Insurance: Grp 1!

Looks like  a Move Up because of the wheel trims, which would make it the 60PS version  :smiley:

They are good fun little cars. I've driven that and the Mii and found them to be great around town. If they ever bring out a quick GT version I'd probably consider swapping the Golf...

Dodds Škoda Octavia vRS

I would queue to get my hands on an Up! GT. Either a 1.2 TSi turbo (105 PS) or a 1.6 FSi engine. Hopefully the turbo so it can be mapped. Probably 16" alloys, I'd love to see how Montreal 2's look on an Up! or a 16" version of the Watkins Glen alloys. Any budding Photoshoppers reading this? ;)

Finally the Up! GT should be available on Lapiz Blue, what the Mk7 R comes in. :drool:

Holy thread revival Batman!!

I'm back, kinda. Been a good while since I've posted and not a lot has happened. Except reaching 98k miles on the Octavia already!  :driver:
New job means I work 2 minutes from a tuning garage (HQ Performance Dalgety Bay). I got talking to them and one thing led to another and I got a rolling road run. Only 18 months after getting a Stage 1 REVO remap.

Results were 166bhp and 266 FtLb at the wheels. No idea of flywheel figures as they don't give any. Potentially 210bhp at the wheels I think. Not bad for nothing but a remap. Standard intake, filter and exhaust.

VERY short notice but my Octavia is now up for sale. New car imminent, if I can't sell it by Monday it'll be traded in for a shockingly low amount.  :sad1:

Just a follow up post: managed to get an OK trade in price for my Octavia and left with a 2014 Leon FR 184. Love the car, much more reminiscent of the Golf, loving being back in a hatchback. Handling is very good (for a standard diesel). So much more grip and flat cornering. Suspension is a little stiffer so you feel more of the road (not always a bad thing). Photos and details to follow...
