Cars coming along nicely Jonny. The pedals will add that extra quality look to the cabin. I lover mine, one of the best mini mods :icon_thumright:

Its great adding these things hey Jonny
My new 2.0TDI-170 Sportback which is in the country and should be with the dealer any day will also have the Start/Stop system. Something new to get used to.
starting to wonder if Ive made the wrong decision
TBH its pretty good, very quick response, I think you'll like it.
Find a 2.0T manual on the road and get into a traffic light grand prix with it... then come back and tell us if you still think you've made the wrong decision.
D.S.G. is better than S.E.X. Fact.
Dave, I drive it pretty much all of the time in D.
Id love to drive in tip-tronic but it becomes difficult when changing gear while turning the wheel and also knowing what gear you're in without looking at the DIS.
Ive had a few stints in 'S' which was good fun!
You'll be very impressed with the auto-stop-start. I fairly skeptical of the system at first but its brilliant; very responsive and doesnt skip a beat.
Took the car down to Big Fish Tuning at 8.30 this morning for a remap. What a difference!
She pulls through the gears like a train through the gears, which feel even smoother than before.. I was initially worried about it having ~250bhp through the front wheels but it still handles itself well under pressure.. Very impressed!
The RR was playing up so couldnt get on them but hoping to get on them within the next few weeks for an accurate read out.
I haven't actually floored it from a standstill yet mate. I've floored it from a roll at about 15mph in 2nd and I still had to feather it in gently so I imagine it'll have pretty extreme wheel-hop/spin from a standstill no doubt.
The remap has certainly made me appreciate the DSG box a lot more... it changes gear so quick and so smooth and never misses a beat. I've taken Dave's advice and have been using the Tip Tronic more and its certainly livened up the drive.

finally you did it! Happy for you buddy, treat her well and dont let anyone to overtake you;P.
No chance of that! Handed a Type R his rear end earlier.. Felt good
Anymore mods planned for this Jonny?
