Finally some photos
« on: May 23, 2012, 07:12:55 pm »
I had to get her polished :popcornsoda:

For some reason I think the 17's on red 5 doors specifically look better than 18's. On any other colour/door combo I think 18's are better.
The car in the background is a 1.6FSI, same month/year/colour...it has MFSW, park assist & centre armrest...I only have a KO3 :sad1:.

My first day out I was rapidly overtaken on a little B-road by two lads racing - one in a Fiesta ST and the other in an old MR2. :happy2:
Second day some bloke in a Cupra R blew me away at the lights. :indifferent:

Think I need some driving lessons!

You don't want to be worried about guys racing you or each other or traffic lights grand prix's - Get caught doing that and it gets very serious: Ban, future insurance difficulties, loss of job possibly, etc. Simply not worth it.

If you want to learn to improve your fast driving skills do a day with Big John @ Drivetrain - It'll remap your brain.

I was told by the dealer it was a special order. I've never seen another one with red stitching. 'Tis very nice IMHO!

Have u been on a dyno to see if its making the right power?

A split DV can go un-noticed for a while and is quite a common problem with the earlier diaphragms. They are cheap to update to the latest version and could end up transforming your car  :wink:

Have a search on the forum. :happy2:

Cheers for the advice:  :smiley:

I've not been near a dyno. I presume it won't be making 200PS as it's 5 years old. What should it be making??
I'll check the DV myself when I next have her on the ramps. If it's torn I'll get a rev D piston jobby...although I thought MY07 had the newer DV's fitted?

Nice looking Tornado you have there, very nice.
Get it down to a decent dyno and check the power, they should also carry out a diagnostic check for faults.

Seats looks really nice. Never saw them before. Small detail but makes a big difference!
