Just bought this for a weekend car,I don't think I'll see it much at weekend though seeing as Sam has now disappeared in it :roll: Well actually it is my Son's but I'm helping him fund it! Totally standard,FSH,mint condition The power delivery is very different from the Subaru,sort of subtle and not in your face 221 BHP/206 lb torque Big thanks to Kris (Blingscooby) for his patience in answering all my questions about this model of car
Ah a blast from the past, I had an 04 plate same colour a while back lovely car nice and solid. Went through the front tyres though but the seats and driving position was spot on, my mate had a TT at same time with same engine and like you say the power delivery is very smooth being Fwd compared to the Quattro
Great cars had four maybe 5 of them lol A remap truly brings them to life. Stage one will see around 260 bhp stage two with down pipe and air filter will give you 280/290. They pic up well I loved all of mine. Got a neuspeed rear arb for one if your interested. Cheap as it needs the rose joints.
My lad was going to get the TDi until he found out the insurance was basically the same So then hunt for the "R" began :shock:
Lucky little fella (wont let me spell the real word :lol: ) Been over it again to find the bits you always miss and tbh, apart from a few age related bits, it's mint. Books all stamped and bits of paperwork which verifies the stamps/mileage Plus full HPI certificate Just done 69k but he'll only use it at weekends as he's in the company van in London every week so the miles will be kept down Yes Jake,he's already planning the mods but I need to reign him in a bit or I'll never get my money back :lol:
Very nice bud, bet Sam loves it. Doesn't seem 5 mins since he was trying to Drive Fireman Sam RB5 at the LADS camping trip Pitty the same can't be said about you.
Has it had the cam belt done with that age/milage? You don't need to mess with fmic, or atmospheric dv. Miltek exhausts are a waste to IMO. A stage one map, forge 007p dv jetex air filter and your set.
Cambelt...I'm ringing the main dealer in Nottingham on Monday where most of its servicing was done to double check its got 7 stamps in the book so hopefully
Looks well 8) looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point :lol: if it needs anything give me a shout
Cheers Kris Just been out for a "proper" ride down some "private roads" :wink: I'm very,very impressed 8)
Good to see you both today guys, thank's for the ride out Sam, very nice car and goes really well mate 8)
Likewise Dave Pleased for Sam,he's made up with the car Oh and get your act together...... One sweetner in the coffee is not to hard to understand :lol:
