No worries - the old car was a lot of fun and it was great when, in the early days of S2+, the lads with Focus ST's and Astra VXR's used to expect to own you and they ended up a dot in the mirror. I think most of them know better now though  :laugh:

 :grin: what mods are in the pipe line for this one then mate?

I'm thinking I might go for the S3 intercooler then S2 Revo.

I would skip to S2+ if I were you. The car won't run as well without the uprated fuel pump and its the pump, downpipe and intake (plus intrercooler upgrade ideally) that makes the power.

Would i better off just going for stage 2 now then. Not too sure ill end up going for the fuel pump just yet, seems a bit rich for me at the mo.

Why not just save and do it at one time? Stage 2 may work fine, but it would always be restricted by fuelling at higher REVO settings.

Top colour choice Al  :happy2:

How are you finding the exhaust? can you get that system resonated? My cat-back has started to make some odd noises and i think its falling apart from the inside out lol.

There is only one silencer in the whole system Jon. The lack of back box allows the style to be possible. Make no mistake, it is loud, but it sounds good. Took me a while to get used to but I drive slower as a result which is good.

Haha i bet it sounds fiery with only one silencer. I like the sound of a loud exhaust but just not on my own car. Did that Milltek exhuast hanger turn up for the downpipe?

Wee update - added the aero underbody parts today and changed the oil and filter, and put on a short plate.

So far, I am not convinced the aero underbody mods will help with comsumption but we will see. What was noticed when fitting them;

1) The sump shield never clicked in to place like the original item

2) The stone protector guards needed trimmed to go round the bolted fittings for the handbrake

3) The middle shield needed trimmed to clear the 3" Milltek  :signLOL:

I had a passenger ride in a Cupra R during the week and was impressed with it. used ones seem a decent option at around 18-19k although trying to get one with zenons is proving difficult and blue as well lol.

OK, wee update. Added a few things including uprated stoppers :). The OEM stoppers are excellent, but these are, well, in another league :)





I really really need to have a clear out of parts soon I know I wont use again, so keep an eye on the classifieds :)

Where are we with power mods?  Are you just going the chassis route this time?
