Must say i used to have an RS Focus had it tuned to 300bhp +
What did you have done to it?
What was your actual power/torque figures?

It's not all to do with straight performance.
It's all about anti theft potential, repair costs, security measures etc....just as much as how fast it is.
Why is an Integra Type-R a group 18?
Following your theory...it shouldn't be. It's got less power than either...and slower.
But it is...because it's rare bits and lack of available spares (like bodyshells - as I found out) make it expensive/impossible to repair properly.
A friend has an Integra Type R, which model are you refering too Ess? DC2 or 5??
Very under-estimated car and if you guys have the chance to play with one, an import, do so, you'll be very suprised at what the result is. The chassis on the Integra Type R DC2 was hailed the best FWD handing car ever made (by various motoring journalists though lol). If my car was re-mapped then i'd have maybe a slim chance at keeping with him.

My friends is an Import and i'll tell you, his car is very quick, it's standard and on a private road we did various tests, all of which proved one thing, his was way faster.
He really does know how to drive though (while i've less to prove) he is always in front by a fair margin too.

i think you have confirmed exactly what has been said in numerous posts previously....the only way i think you'd have a chance is straight line only, and i dont think you'd need to be mapped for that challenge... open to being proven wrong though
yeah tis well worth it fella...i wouldnt normally tune a car at all but once id driven a mapped S3, i had to have mine mapped
£300 all in?
How would my unmapped car fair against yours?? Much difference?
Thanks
G
Is it "that" much better? How would a non mapped S3 fair against yours so say mine against yours lol.
I know i'm being anal about it but just to give me an idea, don't mean to sound Max Power, racing style, trying to justify to myself the £500 odd to get it done.
I'm liking MTM but not sure at £599+ the tw@t its a fair amount of money!
G
Ess...
You had a DC2??
Lovely aren't they.
Such an under-estimated wolf....has suprised many. The last time he erm...lol raced someone was with three up against a Focus ST and we had the egde. Crazy little Honda's.
Nice. Sounds good.
Is JBS Jabba sport?

landed heavy. Enough to do this:
I miss it.
proper wheel damage.
won't be getting those refurbed!
So much out of a 1.8 engine it is unreal, chassis even a standard one is unparraleled in the Audi world. They sure knew what they were doing when they built it.
Not a great deal of point discussiing the details of bhp and power to weight etc as its mostly down to the driver anyway.
You can't say things like that around here!
The cotton-wool people will get upset...start telling you how it's 'rice' and has a bad interior.
Sure it was fairly basic inside.
Sure it wasn't that well finished - but it had the basics right. Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel etc. Great seating position and pedal feel.
Great engine, fantastic gearbox (in a different league to ANYTHING VAG have ever built) and decent, not-overly servo'd brakes.
It was light...and drove well. Very well...what a chassis.
Had I not written mine off, I would still have it.
I still fancy another...but most are abused at the hands of 'yoofs' now, sitting on heavy-assed 17/18" wheels, silly exhausts and cut down springs...so that's a no go.
No matter...I have the memories.
