Yea im talking pish it was 116mph 12.9 sec 400 bhp package, sounds good enough to me though ! although its got the fuel pump add on which a few tuners have just added on to the 400 packs with a custom map as well as the injectors !

As you said stevie the tuners claims and what these actually make are two differant things, there seems to be a few of them with at least 40 bhp down on claimed figures, it seems to be cured with custom maps though, i dont think they like generics
Another problem seems to be the dv, when uprated the power seems to up too, i woukdnt of thought this would be possible unless its leaking but thats what ive read.

They have a leader board 1/4 mile style on that site too and ive had a look at some threads they dont seem to do much 1/4 miles on it, on the leader board there are only 3 entrys standard was 14.?
Montune 350 13.4 and a 400 pack at 13 dead trapped at 112, i only seen two threads on the forum although im sure ive seen a few in the twelves elsewhere fecknose where i got high 120s from but i must of seen it somewhere because it stuck with me big tbo feck knows seem supercar quick for a trap speed so im maybe getting my wires crossed some where

Yea ill check that out stevie has it got the montune intercooler in it or pro alloy ?

Really worth doing the vibratechnics lower engine mount.  Makes the diff work better and improves traction.  Once setup with some camber on the front they handle better than the r26r's imo.  They are just setup bad from the factory.

Even in the wet they have very minimal wheel spin.  I just couldn't get on with the high driving position and the very odd pedal positions.  How do you get on with them?

yea the lower mount is on the to do list ! Im dont really mind the driving position tbh, feels fine you can actually remount the recaros lower all you need to do is remove the seat and remount in the lower fixing holes, i seen it in autocar or express or something like that, yea the grip is pretty impressive its not really been raining since i got the car so its only been out in the dry but it digs in, i love the steering on it the rack is nice and quick ! Im really happy with it even as is its got a wow factor when ever you are in it, it never feels like you are in a  fast daily driver if you know what i mean ?

What sort of figures does your mate's kick out bud? You Ed30 or S3? Maybe a daft question with your username  :ashamed:, but 112mph is bloody good for an S3.. That @ Pod or Crail?

Mk1's are a popular choice on the mod scene Mike.. I know a couple of lads with track slag Mk1's. You only need to go on RS Owners club forum to see how many get tinkered with and spend time on the track..  A lot more raw than the Mk2, but then again they are 200kgs lighter..

The one on the link looks like a lot of kit for the dosh. Not sure I would want to rock up at a track day looking like Marty McFly though.. Those doors...  :surprised: :ashamed:

....No insults were intended - I was just being honest about what I felt without going into detailed reasons. It wouldn't say much for someone's belief in themselves if they were that bothered about what is merely my opinion. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted at all but if someone has gone as far as buying a Ford, then I'm sure they'll enjoy it and I wish them well - Just not my kind of car.

Hi guys :P, as has been said Mike don't worry about the RS purists, plenty of these getting stripped as track day cars now, I've even shaved a few pounds off my own, it's what they were made to do! :happy2:

Tbh im suprised i didnt get more comments saying people didnt like it, as said robin i love it and othet peoples opinions wont change my mind, it was really hard for me to make the move in to the rs because i dont like fords, really not in to them at all and my car buying habits are 95% vag and bmw, so it was quite a hard choice spending this sort of cash considdering the others in that price range, although nothing else was an option tbh even if i was spending £30k it was the rs or the edition 30 for me !
Hopefully get another gti

Yeah daft question Ron, its an s3. Mate andys mk2 rs has the 400bhp package with the 550cc injectors, not sure the next size of injectors up from that (maybe 750cc) will be fitted before revo on 19th. My s3 run was at crail, pod is a bit far for me, might take a run to york next year test out the wotbox. Cheers, Stevie.
