The EP3 model (2002-2006) very rarely make 197bhp as standard - some as low as 160bhp, the 2007 onwards are usually bang on (I've had both the old & the new  :happy2:)

The lack of torque will mean they will struggle to keep up with a torquey TDI which has roughly the same power  :wink: especially if your already moving

You have to be a VERY good driver to get the most of a type-r, if you change gear to early you will miss the power band  :sad1:

I've not heard of a k20 making much if any less then its quoted figure :-s

I agree with you about driving them properly to keep it in vtec though, that takes a bit of getting used to!

Back on topic...car looks great. I'm seriously thinking about swapping the GTi for a diesel!

That's what the chaps at TDI north recon (Warrington CTR specialist). Also at the Feb JKM dyno day, an EP3 only made 187bhp - the owner wasn't impressed  :grin:

Beattie:
Well if anyone was to ask id defo say got for a remap now ive had it done. Before hand i kept asking how different it is and to be honest yesterday as soon as i got in it i didnt think much of it but tonight ive been out and about doing things and testing it on motorway and my god its good fun!

Andy:
upgrading the brakes next than :happy2:

Beattie:
Haha.. Well is that a priority?? do they need done? dont think there that bad tbh, im discs all round as im 4x4 so get a good range of breaking. Dunno if the 2wd was discs all round aswell...

Got the timing belt, waterpump etc coming up in the next couple weeks so thats that lol.

Andy:
