Matt’s DS3 Racing

[MG DS3 R]

Big thank you to Jamie for the walnut blast.
Hopefully going back down very soon for some upgrades

Some nasty lumps in the first 2 pics! A much needed blast, and great results as always!

[Funky]

Proof if it was ever needed that Jamie's walnut blast is top drawer!!

[MG DS3 R]

Full custom Powerflow exhaust fitted today

and those 3.5” tips

Following my day at SP tuning, here’s an updated list of what mods I have completed since I got the car in September:
Wrapped
OZ super turismo wheels
Walnut blast
H&;R Lowering springs
Custom cat back exhaust
200 Cell Sports Cat
Induction kit (MTC)
Forge intercooler
VAG diverter valve
Remap stage 1

I’m now running at 245 bhp
Big thanks to Jamie for all of the advice and the work he’s done on my car
its seriously quick now, mega impressed!

[BeefMasta]

Sounds awesome!

[DeeTurbo]

Would an oil catch can help reduce the build up on the valves?

[MG DS3 R]

I asked Jamie when I was down there if there was any other mods worth doing for reliability and he pretty much said no unless I wanted to forge the engine
he said after he removed the twin catch can on his ds3 and looked at the valves, it hadn’t made much difference over 12k miles
The best thing is to get a walnut blast (I had one with Jamie) every 20-25k miles

[Rexen]

I'm jelly as. M8 are you able to put a sound clip of the exhaust up?

[MG DS3 R]

I’ll get one up as soon as I can
ill have to clean her first though and get her all shiny

[DeeTurbo]

I was wondering on the racing models are the pedals all at the same level?

The ones on my Dstyle are all at different heights and it's really annoying.

[MG DS3 R]

Yeah they’re all the same level, or near enough,
the clutch biting point is a little high compared to my previous car and feels a little bit softer/lighter so I can’t tell what’s going on as much through my left foot but I’ve gotten used to it now

[DeeTurbo]

Thanks, I was asking because in my old car they were all level and I was starting to heel and toe on down shifts but in this car now the brake pedal is a lot higher and the clutch pedal even more so it's ridiculous.

I really need to try and adjust them.
