The intake on this engine is a nightmare as soon as you turn up the boost it collapses, not sure if ford have modded it in any way but i couldnt believe what i was looking at when i was out in my mates, completely kills the car, sooked closed. Get it revo'd matey! Stevie.

Hmm...

I'm not feeling the love for this car. I was lent one for most of a day but gave it back after less than an hour - I don't want to piss on anyone's parade so I'll keep THE DETAILS of my opinions to myself. Each to their own, so enjoy!  :happy2:

How is the revo software on these. There was an article a few months back in re line iirc, they seemed to think it was ok. Me personally id be sticking with the proven ford tuners though

Its basically the same ecu as most of the golfs so easy to tune if you have the know how.  I personally trust revo 100% along with a few other tuners around.

I found a few pics of the one I did a while back:

Nice choice mate  :happy2: Always had a soft spot for these tbh and nearly went for one. Just no good for my job (too in your face with how I would have one) and they like to drink far to much  :rolleye:. Found that the tyres can be chewed up far too quickly if you like to  :driver:   :surprised:
Also from my experience they need to be waaaaay over 400bhp to compete with a Stage 2+ DSG Eddie and if that was the case, I would need a fuel tanker to be in tow for my job (bigger injectors etc). Not to mention the cost in getting it there..  :surprised:
That doesn't take away how good they are when behind the wheel though and after driving both a stock car and one in RS500 guise I did have a big smile on my face. Just had to go with my head in the end..

Oh and stop being a fanny wth this 2k running in lark..  :booty: :signLOL:

I dont know like ? A well set up 400 bhp pack gets some good runs in the 12s and traps at high 120s, granted these are not 1/4 mile cars but from a rolling start there is not much can touch them, i seen one with the 400 bhp pack that a guy logged against his 911 turbo and i was shocked at some of the in gear times.
Ill need to get it sorted and proove it against 2+ k04 car though. I dont think there will be much in it though, unless we can do a second gear rolling start !

One of the car mags put a modified cupra [2+] against a standard frs and the cupra beat it everywhere in the acceleration tests although the frs was still 1 second a lap quicker round a track, i actually seen that topic discussed on here aswell

Yea got to say fuel is a killer ill just need to cycle to work 3 days a week to offset the cost !

Have you proof of this mate????  :confused: :surprised: I know of a Jamsport 500+ one that has cracked around 118-119mph terminals, but nothing in the 120's @ a proper 1/4 mile track (ie Pod).. Especially at 400bhp, just not possible in a 1500kg car IMO.. High 120's would take 600bhp+ IMO..
The 400bhp one that showed up at the 30-130mph day in March was nothing short of a let down tbh. But it was that bad that either he couldn't drive or it was nowhere near 400bhp, so I reserved judgement..  :wink:
On the 1/4 mile there's not been many that have run 12's from what I have seen and the ones that have were Jamsport monsters with 450+bhp, cut slicks, LC and god knows how much money thrown at them.. I remember running mine against a JWR400 UG RS at Pod in March. I fooked the start and he was off and I thought "no chance now"... To my surprise, I caught and passed him with ease and he only run a 108mph terminal  :confused:
I'm not saying that they're not capable cars when they have all the bits on them. But you need to spend big bucks and have shares in Shell  :signLOL:

The mag test you mentioned was Evo mag and was Revo's K1. Yes it mothered the stock RS in all performance tests, but so it should to be honest (should have tested it again against a Mountuned one at least). Round a track the RS is leagues ahead, no contest. Didn't help that the K1 had no LSD though..  :driver:
Seem to remember the R26R taking the piss out them both round Cadwell though..  :grin:

Quickest i have seen was a 13.0 with the 440 package....well it had 440 stickers lol. I will ask my mate if he can remember his terminal speed. Good test in redline this month with all the mk2 rs coolers you should get it, massive difference between them. The test car had the mountune intake and a map and put out 294bhp, tuner and owner were seriously shocked! Stevie.

Nice car mate :happy2:

Had a white one drive past as i was going out earlier. The noise was epic. Clearly an aftermarket exhaust and he was giving it some. The pops on the over run really made it sound like a rally weapon
