What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Matthew FR]

Went to Sedox performance today for my stage 1 map.
Very impressed with the results and drivability.
Also on the run back the mpg on the trip computer has went up by over 3 mpg!
Very good setup there and dyno runs.
Standard dyno run was 166 bhp and 224 ftlbs torque
Stage 1 dyno run 210 bhp and 300 ftlbs torque.
Now the car feels like it should have originally being a GTD
Not cupra R power but a very rewarding and exciting drive.
The GTD that was done after mine was a dsg and made 13 bhp less than my manual!

What car is it FR TDI?

Fitted a set of blinds to the rear 6 windows, want sure how they'd look but took a gamble and I'm quite pleased with them, gives a nice shaded look and can be removed / refitted in seconds!

And from the inside:

How much was the car if you don't mind me asking? It must be a fair step up from the PD170s you were looking at!

 

[Marshall]

It was up for £14995 mate

It took them 9 days to sell my R and it only went for £14450.
It would cost them a couple of tyres at least maybe more.

Sorry seen that when I read over it, same engine as an FR I guess?

 

[Marshall]

Yeah same as a facelift FR

looks spot on that Kev. love those wheels aswell just need to gun metal them as silver on silver is tooo much silver lol.

good curve aswell. was aware that was doable on the 170 engine... as i mentioned earlier i was looking at A5 cabs for my next car but ruled the 2.0 tdi out and was only looking at 3.0 maybe i should reconcider.

does it smoke at all?

 

[Jarre]

It looks smart that Kev! I'd love one but can't justify the price difference between the FR and a GTD for what essentially is the same car.

No smoke mate as the dpf is still in place.
When the wheels are clean they are diamond cut and look much better than the picture.
Although I'm gonna get them powder coated shadow chrome I think within the next few months.

I think these are the shades

I wonder if the extra 32lb/ft I got over your stg1 makes a lot of difference.

If not, I might be regretting removing DPF and going for a more smokey stg2

...not wait I don't regret it at all

It's the fuel economy that's strange.
This much power and torque and my trip computer just keeps going up!!!
50 mpg achievable at 85 mph!!

Very happy now and content with stage 1 me thinks.
On with the wheels next
