So I cam home today for first time in a while (work away) and my partners brother has an focus st-3 remapped to 270bhp other than that standard.
We were popping over to her dads and her brother offered to drive so we jumped in but forgot to lock the door so went back and after him doing a 2nd gear pull I wanted to see where my pretty much standard gti dsg would stand (remapped to 250 ).
I jumped out and hooped into mine and off we set on a 10 mile drive... After a good couple miles of both cars warming up he floored it off the line at a set of lights with me closely following! He started pulling away and I was abit upset BUT then I realised I was in 'D' so I pulled back and put her in 'S' and boy what a difference!
Once again at a set of lights him in front of me and once again he floors it but this time I'm right up his ass (with abit of space for safety ) and he's not shaking me at all! We pulled over for some dog food and he was pleasantly shocked!
The best bit....
So we leave pets at home ( dog food) and carry on our spirited driving when out of no where a clio 172 comes out the wood work screaming up my ass at the lights... Me n st pull of slow and both pull in 2 nd with the Clio getting smaller and smaller in my rear view. I don pt think he was to happy as he decided to cut me up at the next round about. I let him go play with the st as I was noticing abit of fade in my brakes.
First time since owning the car iv had a spirited drive and I'm really impressed and has now made me want more power
Also what brake pads can people recommend and tbh how to get the best out of a dsg box regarding engine braking. Forgot to mention I was putting it in manual at some points and using engine braking more. Is any way that it does in auto
Any suggestions would be appreciated cheers!
