indeed Nick , just got off the phone from my Marathon chat with Mr Hurdy for an hour. Im in a quandry as to whats next for mine to hit my ceiling of 300bhp.

15 short currently, either downpipe, intake or Dsg remap..

Hurry up Bluefin and do a version!!!. and do a cheap offer to existing customers like the competition has done!!!

looking foward to testing your stage 2 against my lowly stage 1 Nick, all i can say is good luck with keeping traction  :wink:.

a stage 2 cars narrowly pipped me last February by 1 tenth!!  :smiley:

Get practicing those lauch control reactions mate  :happy2:

and you mc phil  :santa:

so your saying a stage 2 k03 just pipped you when you were standard? thing is our cars have been very similar for ages, the same time you went stage 1 i did too! now im making the next step and i can see you itching for a sports cat and downpipe!! its all internet talk though until we get to see the real life gains. i love my car as it is but i wanted to change the piddly tail pipes since i had it, could have spand 50 notes on just changing them but i got a good deal on a full system and thought sod it, im going to keep the car for a few years i may as well enjoy it! only problem is the same as you we need bigger brakes! its next on my list. then i may get intercooler before summer, after that it HPFP then i will ask hurdy how can i spend more, provided i get some overtime next year!  :xmassmiley:

Looks very nice Nick!!, now go shoot the person who fitted your exhaust. It looks like it Needs to be straightened up?, and if it will , make it not stick out as much!
