Not regarding your quotation, its about your signature - where did you get that extra 10bhp!! from or from the sig. is the real bhp around 340?? cos of clutch slip?? - just curious that all!

280ish bhp with diesel/propane. Turbo maxxed out.
317bhp is with NOS added to the stock diesel/propane mix
327 bhp when i started to alter fueling to account for the NOS beeing added but clutch slipping. With an even stronger clutch as you said bhp would be about 340ish bhp.
When the new turbo is fitted hoping for about 400bhp.

I was out in Tiverton last night on the piss and ended up in remedies.
I bought both my Seat`s new from County Garage as they did a better deal then SMG plus always found County Garage very good for parts and service.

Remedies! You bad man For servicing i'll use County Garage then mate, thanks for the recommendation. Howcome you've sold up on the Seats and gone for the Audi? Actually, i was going to get either the A3 170 Tdi or the Seat

Hi mate.
I'm pretty new here too as ordered my FR TDi back in June with bluetooth, winter pack, alloys, satnav, iPod aux which is free but you have to pay with satnav, like your not paying enough! Got a good deal though and the test drive sealed the deal the same. Never had a deisel before but had a turbo and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on her sometime this month when I'll post pics.
Found this place searching the net for ANY infomation I could get my hands on about it as I'm like a kid on the countdown through december I just cant wait.
Are you considering any aftersales stuff at all? I've ordered the chrome surrounds for the gauges, armrest, air vent surrounds, extra boot storage, er gone a little mad I blame the waiting lol
My names Martin by the way and this is a great site, to blame for some of my extra purchases this place lol

 

[Icehquk]

Which model you had thinking about it lol

I started back in 2004 with a new PD130 Ibiza which was a good little car but i always intended to modify the engine to an Allard`s stage 3 or more. Well the PD160 Ibiza came out late 2004 and when looking at the spec of the car it was a lot better then the PD130 and would be alot less hassle to modify to 230 + bhp so i sold the 130 and got a new PD160 Cupra early 2005. By November 2005 it was running a max of 265bhp when i rolled it when i was going to work near Washfield just outside Tiverton.

Wanted a 4WD diesel so i didn`t have traction problems like the last car which Seat don`t make so ended up buying an Audi as i didn`t like the Golf 4motion.

Hey man. This is going to be the longest 6 weeks in a while haven't bought a brand new car Ever! Gonna be a blast eh Was very tempted to get the sat nav, but already spent £350 on the TomTom 910 a few months ago and so just went for the TomTom pre-installed connection for £25!

As far as aftermarket things go, i think ill leave her standard for the time being, always have in the past. But you never know!

 

[Icehquk]

I'm going to miss the 4WD

 

[Lewis_FR]

**** man, thats bad! Driving like a loon? How old are you btw Mike?

Accident was done when it was very snowy and icey, started to go down a steep hill very slowly and just hit ice and from then on i was just a passenger. Doesn`t help that i start work at about 4am. 36 years old and you ?

 

[Lewis_FR]

4am =/ Where you work?

I'm a mere 19 mate (Dont judge )

We have more in common then as this is my first brand new car too! From what I've read and the thes drive I took it shouldn't let us down and be a blast to drive. It's been the longest wait and sorry to say this but it gets worse toward the end
I've got a linit with aftermarket stuff but its allot to live upto after the S3's interior and hear it's a bit dull after awhile so thought I'd brighten it up
The sat nav was a last minute thing as I'd already got £1500 off the car so figured it was nearly free, makes sense to me Plus want to try and keep it so thought I'd take the plunge plus my tomtom is an old one although i've already said i'll put it in on long journeys for the speed cameras, and my logic is shall we say interesting st times, the missus gave up along time ago
Where do peeps post photos to upload them onto here?

 

[Lewis_FR]

Try photobucket.com mate, easy to use and provides you with the correct format to upload to forums. About the sat nav, thats some Very interesting thought process you had going but in a certain light it makes sense. I managed to get mine all in, on the road price of £16500 with extras. So cant really complain.

 

[Lewis_FR]

Wanted Xenons though!
