Exact difference between Formula Sport + FR

[PaulieB]

What are the exact differences between the Formula Sport / DAB Sport and the FR.

Outside looks wise the only difference i can see would be the FR badges + the exhaust

And then obviously the engine

And the seats in the FR have the FR logo and are slightly more comphy?

Wheels on the new FR (17s), Formula Sports and the DABs get the old FR wheels (16s).

Do you get climate on the DABs and FSs? You do on the FRs i know that.

Then i think its just as you say, Badges, Exhaust, and interior trim.

Dont think you get climate control on the Formula or DABs and the FR has traction control

Smaller brakes and no alarm on the FS/ DAB

Smaller brakes? How does the thing stop? The standard ones on the FR are Sh**e imo.

I think FR also has slightly bigger ARB and possibly different suspension set up.

Fr has a 30% stiffer chassis too,in using the word chassis, I mean springs etc etc. I think if you dig deep enough,its more than just badges that is the difference!

Fr has a 30% stiffer chassis too,its more rigid than the standard shell. I think if you dig deep enough,its more than just badges that is the difference!

it is?

30% stiffer springs maybe, but the shell is no different

 

[Poverty]

shell the same, springs stiffer is also a maybe. I thought only cupra had different suspension to the sports and FR's.

The FR also has silver rear lights and faster engine!

Sorry....When I used the word chassis, I meant a collective of springs and anti roll bars etc. I think the fr has stiffer springs but they stay standard length. Either way you look at it, its still 'chassis'

 

[CHR15B]

Hmm.

When I hear "Chassis" I think "Chassis" ... not Springs/ARB's.

 

[spykey]

In my trade,thats what a lot of people say. What about the term 'chassis mods' then? It usually refers to someone fitting coilovers,different rate springs/dampers,strut braces,roll bars and anyway.....you have a yellow car

 

[CHR15B]

Alright no problem.

Forgot that having a yellow car means I know hee-haw, your right.

Ah i forgot about the climate control, DAB/FS only have Air con.

Nice to know the differences though, forgot about the traction control. Know the FS has the white dials, but the DAB doesn't.

 

[QuietQuackers]

My DAB has got the white dials!

 

[PaulieB]

My DAB has got the white dials!
