I got the DS3 logo one of ebay second hand £10,guy had a DS for a year and got rid???There are new ones on there about £17 I think.

I've seen the DS3 one now, and i'm not sold on it tbh, I much prefer the Citroen logo

The cars dynamics feel immense, the handling is better than my mk2 C2 VTS, if a little stiff at times.

You think so? I don't think it's anywhere near as good as the C2. More comfortable but not as grippy.

There's a corner that leads onto the motorway coming out of Manchester that I could take at 70 in my C2 but when I tried it in the DS3, I could feel it understeering quite a lot and sliding out wide. Pretty scary.

Strange, the DS3 feels much more sure footed in corners than the C2 ever did?!

Hmm, It definitely doesn't feel anywhere near as good as my C2. :/ I'll keep testing it but if everyone else thinks the DS3's better then that's a bit worrying.

Also, the ESP cut's in a lot later than on the C2's, which was it's achilles heal imo.

I've done about 700miles so far and I've not really wanted to blast it too much so I might change my mind.

Seen in another thread that you said you're up to 210bhp/233lbft without spending too much. What sort of things have you done? I'm thinking of a remap but would there be anything else that needs upgrading for that? I don't really want to go replacing parts.

Hi mate, FlashRemapping Motorsport remap plus Pipercross cone filter with cold air feed from Citroen airbox with modified cold intake.

Dave any chance putting a few photos of your car's enngine bay and induction box-filter? Would be nice to see what you did

[Hannah]

He's not on here anymore :'(

Guess who?!

Engine bay as requested. Just have a Pipercross foam cone filter on the inlet pipe, with a cold air feed from aluminium ducting (you can see it in the bottom right corner)
No noticeable disadvantage having it back there, but I have removed the under bonnet insulation to help with cooling.
