Having to travel is better... you have a longer drive home to enjoy the changes

Absolutely, big thumbs up to Simon and the team. If anyone is wondering where to get theirs done, I would highly recommend these guys, even if you have to travel a bit (they were about an hour and 40mins away from me). Also big thanks to Yellowbadge for the recommendation!




fantastic

Just as I felt when I picked up my 165 , there wasn't much feeling when I picked up 185 , the feeling was back BIG STYLE when I picked up 200

I miss my 165 , MR200 is too quiet

I just wish they'd up the tailpipe to 3.5".

Not sure who said it, but third gear is absolutely the best gear, it's evil. 1st and 2nd are just a tad quicker than stock (I guess the gearbox torque restriction comes into play here) but no such problems with third.

The more I drive it (well, when I can - stupid work) the more I like it. The sound when you put your foot down, turns so many heads!

To be fair, I haven't done a lot of hard accelerating in 2nd, the weather has been terrible these past two nights from work and I've had at least one other person in the car with me since I got the kit fitted. I will give it a good thrashing tonight

With my similar set up ive so far found 3rd gear to be best.

And I know what you mean regarding booting it when people have their windows down

Am I crazy for thinking of going down the MR200 route? Really considering it at the moment, Mountune said they can fit me in 2-3 days after ordering it. I'm enjoying the 165 at the moment, but have an urge to go faster.

Can't remember, did you have the 165 kit before? Does it retain the general day to day drive-ability of it?

if you can afford it and insurance, it's a NO BRAINER.

from standard, if you could test drive all three, you wouldn't hesitate for a split second to go MR200.

I've got the funds, my insurance goes up a little bit, now it's just down to me to part with the cash.
