New car tomorrow
« on: 12 May 2015, 09:13 »
Finally getting my new car tomorrow, following months of car problems with my GTI, followed by months of poor service from VWFS and the car being stuck at emden port for a month.

Tomorrow afternoon, my GTI pp in night blue will be replaced by an R in Lapiz blue.

Do we detect a little bit of excitement?  :cool:

It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the car bearing in mind what your PP was capable of when fully working (nudge nudge, wink wink...)
So, cut to the chase - when's the remap booked for?  :grin:

Lol who ever said I was getting it remapped......probably about a month :P

The test drive I took in the R, speed wise was no different the the mapped GTI, it just felt significantly more planted and didn't spin the wheels in third.

I will of course give more details on it when I get it tomorrow. I will have both of the cars for 2 days together so I will do some comparisons stock vs stock.

the R will feel slower than your mapped GTI as it just hasn't got the mid range in standard tune when you have come from a remapped one

Had a 20 mile A road blast in mine on the way to Daventry on Sunday with empty roads and just realised where this car scores

The wait is painful!!!!

Still waiting for it to arrive, was told 3pm at the latest, more likely be about 1pm and it's now 3:10pm but everything else about this car has been delayed I'm not surprised the delivery is late to be honest.
