    200t making just 185 BHP on a dyno

    Yes it is but even RS tuning arn't immune to heatsoak on a dyno, I've known them to keep a mates Mazda MPS on the dyno so long struggling to map it correctly the paint on the bonnet began flaking!!

    200T is being replaced, thanks for having me.

    Absolutely love it, neither the M135i or A45 have given me this much pleasure, all I can say is don't listen to the reviews yes it's not a megane 275 round a track but that's not what it's built for. The interior quality and noise is something else entirely for a hatchback. Went out with three...

    Well had an eventfull couple of months, as I mentioned in this thread I was all set to pull the trigger on the AMG, went to test drive it and I liked it although a bit barge like, Mrs didn't like it though she thought it was very big. None the less we put a deposit down and was given a date to...

    200T is being replaced, thanks for having me.

    Cheers for the comments I'm pretty excited about 550 bhp and 590lbft at the rear wheels :), I always stage 1 my cars if I plan on keeping them for a while which I'm told by renntech will yield 680bhp and 750 lbft!! I went in the owner of rebellion tunings one who tuned my A45 and his was stage 1...

    It's been short and sweet but I've really enjoyed this little car, way better than the reviews will have you believe and IMO after driving both its better than the fiesta ST, car didn't skip a beat in the time I had it. Anyway ive decided I to jump back into the AMG pool, was going to go for...

    Just had my a*se handed to me

    I'll drop them an email cheers, has anyone on here used superchips though? Don't plan on having the car that long and the fact you can remove and add the bluefin map yourself appeals to me

    Ok so ive got from racing 911's at Vmax in my old A45 to getting my arse handed to me just now by a fiesta ST. it looked well modded going by the exhaust outlets and wheels but still not a good feeling, RST are a bit far for me to Travel but has anyone used the superchips remot tune thing...

    Ford Fiesta ST v Renault Clio 220 Trophy v MINI JCW

    I'd say the DCT in the MK4 is as good as the DCT in my A45 AMG, journalists used to slate that for late downshifts which I made a few videos to disprove, they talk crap and think it's fashionable to always want a manual gearbox and say 'drivers car' a lot. Yaaaawn

    First drive in the 200t, my thoughts

    to be fair the roads were wet so I'll forgive a bit of understeer, the tyres are pretty crap aswell I'd like to get some supersports on but they are discontinuing them for pilot sport 4's which I'll chuck on. Again to be fair to the Clio the buttons and switches seem no worse quality than the...

    First drive in the 200t, my thoughts

    There's also another liquid yellow one in Ashford, my verdict is basically we all know the Clio wouldn't hold a light to the upper end of the hatches like the A45 and RS3 in terms of outright speed I think the Clio is nearly twice as slow as the A45 to 100 mph in stock form. But in terms of...
