  • 4 years and fond memories of a DS3 THP 155, needed something faster :-)

    For those of you that asked, this is what I have gone for. Delivered 11.30 am today, first pic Ive posted online

    Loved the DS3, but wanted something faster without modifying....which the THP engine didn't seem to like.

    Will be getting a DS3 again, which will be modified for fun, but for now will make do with this:

    Will be hanging around this Forum, if that's ok, as expect to be back for modifying advice. Still love the DS3..

    Will come say Hi when at the shows

      Took a bit of advice from you to be honest... can be remapped to 370BHP

      You done one before?

                  Congratz Chris very beautiful car!

                  I've never liked golfs till a friend of mine got one just like yours just in blue, he beats me every time from a standstill but not from 50 tho

                  He's is unmodified 292hp, but I've seen stage 2 remaps with 350hp, and also seen theres a DSG remap too, if your going that way...

                  Enjoy and i hope to see more of your car

                    Thanks all. Done 60 miles so far, and when you press the pedal in 2/3/4 gear, whoooosh, hang on to your seat.

                    Cars averaging 33 mpg ATM lol

                    Will give it a few month, then may have to pay SPT a visit:redface:

                    But to be honest, its stink fast as it is

                      Real Car this time Chris

                      I admire your perseverance with the THP but we all know when on song its great But (we know the rest)

                      Great car the R I had a play in one when they first came out but a bit rich for me

                      Enjoy and get it mapped

                              Great car Chris - congrats !!! One of my colleagues at work has the Cabrio R, a bit slower than yours but that is still v impressive.

                              Will you wait out the warranty before getting any engine mods done ?
