Got the full spec somewhere on my phone but it goes like a stabbed rat!

Well impressed with it so far, power, looks, reasonable economy, insurance was cheaper than my previous 1.6l derv economy bus...

Looks like i might be here to stay haha

yes mate that was the one. ended up paying £8k for it which i thought was a steal. Suprised the guy went that low.

Spec;

Audi TTS fuel pump
Uprated diverter valve
Audi R8 coil packs
Milltek cat back
ITG Maxogen
APR remap
VW 30mm lowering springs
EBC disks and red stuff pads

anyone know roughly what that should be running? previous owner didnt have a rolling road printout.

future plans at this minute are decat downpipe and maybe an uprated intercooler and if im right thats approx 360bhp/400lb-ft? looks like its still on the standard clutch though so that will need doing first. Also quite fancy the puddle lights on the doors/wing mirrors if you can retrofit them?
