I would queue to get my hands on an Up! GT. Either a 1.2 TSi turbo (105 PS) or a 1.6 FSi engine. Hopefully the turbo so it can be mapped. Probably 16" alloys, I'd love to see how Montreal 2's look on an Up! or a 16" version of the Watkins Glen alloys. Any budding Photoshoppers reading this? ;)

Finally the Up! GT should be available on Lapiz Blue, what the Mk7 R comes in. :drool:

Holy thread revival Batman!!

I'm back, kinda. Been a good while since I've posted and not a lot has happened. Except reaching 98k miles on the Octavia already!  :driver:
New job means I work 2 minutes from a tuning garage (HQ Performance Dalgety Bay). I got talking to them and one thing led to another and I got a rolling road run. Only 18 months after getting a Stage 1 REVO remap.

Results were 166bhp and 266 FtLb at the wheels. No idea of flywheel figures as they don't give any. Potentially 210bhp at the wheels I think. Not bad for nothing but a remap. Standard intake, filter and exhaust.

VERY short notice but my Octavia is now up for sale. New car imminent, if I can't sell it by Monday it'll be traded in for a shockingly low amount.  :sad1:

Just a follow up post: managed to get an OK trade in price for my Octavia and left with a 2014 Leon FR 184. Love the car, much more reminiscent of the Golf, loving being back in a hatchback. Handling is very good (for a standard diesel). So much more grip and flat cornering. Suspension is a little stiffer so you feel more of the road (not always a bad thing). Photos and details to follow...
