Thaught id start a project thread while i do the odd bit here and there....having come from an r53 and f56 mini by christ its a big car🤣

Some what of a poverty spec in vrs terms,but only 14k on a 2017 plate so it was too good a deal to pass up on.

Thaught it was a 220bhp model but turns out it had 230 on the dyno.

Told myself id keep it stock now ive got a "grown up sensible car" 

Sooooo first mod was an apr open filter.

Ummmed and aaahd about remapping it for a while, read very cobtrasting things about revo vs other companies and could the clutch take it etc ...got advise on here that it should be fine so i thaught sod it 

Booked it in at west yorkshire tuning having seen them repeatedly reccomended on octavia groups and had it mapped and made a tasty 320 bhp.

Realised soon after on full boost heavy acceleration that the revs did a little dip, so ive upgraded the standerd intake hose and turbo elbow to a vagsport hose and turbo elbow to increase air flow and it seems to have resolved tge issue. 

And thats about it for now

 

 

Good looking car! Always liked the primer grey. 

 

I also pretty much always buy a new car and say 'its a sensible daily... its fine as it is...' and then proceed to modify it. 

 

Whats the other plans for it? How do you like the fabric seats?
