Right, been to collect my car today. Got to Revo HQ, my cars parked all washed and fuelled up ready to go.
Chatted with Kev and Carl, talked few afew things here and there - bounced some ideas about.

Kev handed me my keys, said go take it for a spin, see what i think.

Inital impression....... the cars eagre. Keen to rev, minimal (and i mean very minimal) lag.

Once warmed through propperly.......the first real drive...... i was pleasently surprised on how breathless the car is, it loves revving. Diesels are slow burners, but this feels like a petrol.

Very smooth power delivery, constant, strong, lively.
The torque is there almost from the get go and again, it seems to have plenty of ingear punch whenever called upon.

Struggle for traction in the dry if your heavy footed, but using the gogo pedal with moderation it's fine.

The fuel econ has also impoved, the run back to Lincoln, using it spiritedly out of roudabouts and cruising at 80-90 units i saw a healthy 54mpg. Time will tell once i work it out propperly, but for the power gotten, i'm happy.

As with every development car, it has acouple of hickups ...... but these are minor.... and aux related not map related. They need monitoing, then logging, then we can see if the fixes we have for them once loaded onto the car work.


To conclude :

Very happy with the car now, pull strongly and drives well.
The service recived by the guys down @ Revo was exellent and i'm sure it will continue to be so.


I'll need to get it dyno'd to compare....but drivability-wise it's transformed the car !

Don't judge me by your ability !

Next, wheels and springs.
Ohh got some other body things going on too. Slightly different - but it some things subtle, somethings not so subtle  :P :laugh: :happy2:

Once the teething prob's are ironed out, i'll be dynoing it for comparison.

Yeah, Kev is a great guy. dealt with him when i had Revo on my S4 (B6). the rest of them @ Revo HQ are good people too.

Been oput to the fireworks this evening, 3 people in my car, and my boot full of work stuff and it pulled like a train, didn't even feel loaded TBH - happy as.  :drinking:

Tom let me know when you put it on the rollers again, as I wouldn't mind coming to seeing as they are DD rollers. Want to find out exactly what my car's making and put an end to this RR lottery argument.. :wink: Assuming you're using Corten Miller again?

ADMIN NOTICE

Quick Shifter, Like everyone you have a right to an opinion but as a first post this wasn't acceptable and as such I have removed it. It has purely come across as you have some vested interest in Chipped UK???

If you wish to introduce yourself properly and start again then please as 99% of all other new members have done on this site then start a new thread in the intro's section. If you then wish to post another comment on this thread then you are more than welcome to.

Thanks,
