Although i dont really want to deliver them very far at 28mpg  I think its safe to say that im not the greatest fan of the interior, the gearbox, or the mpg. But i think its a very nice car to tool about it, looks professional & will hopefully be pretty bomb proof ... Handling is also transformed now the tracking & tyres have been sorted  ________________________________________ TEAM: 182 Trophy & ITB'd 3 Series |

Have you still got this Dave? I'm looking at one for myself, and apart from the seats, they're a nice solid car. With the K04 turbo fitted instead of the usual K03 on the "normal" GTI's, a stage one map takes them to 300bhp!!I've heard MPG stays the same at around 33mpg too. ________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

I find my standard gti is way better than the s3, although the s3 was shit, edition 30 has uprated internals etc, basically a detuned s3 engine IIRC, DSG Is awesome as well if you decide on one with DSG!________________________________________ PS3 I.D - jenkers101Live i.d - Lukejenks1201 |

I would have likes one with the DGS box, but the torque rating on them isn't high enough to exceed the output of a mapped engine. Plenty of people map them though, but I think I would rather replace a clutch once in a while than risk having to replace a dsg box. I had a good s3 but I did find it a little boring to tell you the true, unless I was drifting around in the snow! However, now my 205's on the road I can get my raw fix from that, so I need somthing a bit more understated/usable. ________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Im not too sure what the limit is on the box tbh, i know they go to 280ft/lbs of torque but you can map the box so it goes past that! ________________________________________ PS3 I.D - jenkers101Live i.d - Lukejenks1201 |

isn't the mapping of the box to do with the speed it shifts, as I can't imagine that you can increase the stress capabilities of components by plugging in a computer??________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

Edition 30's are rarer than the R32, although there isn't much to distinguish the two other than the wheels. A mapped E30 is m3 quick though, so should be a little quicker than the R32. ________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |

I dont think its stress related there is just a limit, which the revo map works around it,This is from another forum Plus Points Pretty much the feature list of the software: - No kick down in Manual Mode No forced change up in Manual mode plus a 7400 rpm redline Improved torque handling (increased to 500nm) Increased shift speed More "sportier" characteristics to the D and S modes (only effecting full throttle) Increase Launch Control limit to 4000rpm Rest of the flash counter when the software is applied Stage 2 software though ________________________________________ PS3 I.D - jenkers101Live i.d - Lukejenks1201 |

That's quite interesting. I will have to look into it in more detail as my current choice of cars is quite limited if I was to discount the ones with DSG boxes________________________________________ 1992 Onyx Black 205 GTI-62005 Honda S2000 (Sold) 2002 Audi S3 (Sold) 2005 Clio 182 Trophy (sold) |
