Best thing to do then was to buy an SRI from new with the VXR body kit put on it as an extra (you can, they offered it to my fiancé's 1.2 LOL)
...and then get a remap

...im just so shocked you can get an excess of 70bhp just from a remap? why would anyone buy a vxr then?




You haven't seen the TDI Golfs that pull up Jamsport for a remap then have you?
They drive away with +70bhp and as much as +50Ib-ft of Torque just from a remap!

Yeah they are ridiculous but nice quality cars. They own me off the lights for a good stretch and then my power kicks in. Much like Top Gears Mk2 FRS vs. Megane R26.R
Megane owns then the Focus power kicks in and then that owns lol

Thing is it won't have the suspension setup etc of the VXR??
Will the VXR not have the same engine but stronger built?

Jeezo, i thought tuning the ST was fairly easy...yeah Adam i think your right, to get that sort of power you'll need major suspension and brake upgrades...

Aren't most diesels fairlly easy to increase with just a remap?

Correct because they have a little turbo/intercooler that helps etc etc
