You tested the matrix headlights yet?

Camera no biggy. Rear camera retrofitted for £750 + VAT:

Or front and rear for about £2k:

On my old Fiat coupe the overboost function have a little extra boost when it detected that it was taking too long for the revs to rise on WOT eg when towing, going uphill, with a dead prossie in the boot etc. I imagine the RS is similar so gives a little extra torque when stuggling so you won't notice it all the time. In fact i think you shouldn't notice it as it will keep the car going as per normal when it might otherwise be struggling. On the dyno out of 3 runs I had 2 with identical torque figues and 1 much higher so I am assuming this was the overboost.

Nice, my 2nd fave colour.
I really like the PE wheels tbh but not so much in silver. I guess they suit the alloy pack though in that colour.

I love the parking cameras on mine. I'm not used to the size yet and even when the red line is where you think it needs to be and the sensors go off there is still about a foot left!!! If I park t without - 2 foot gap! Lol

The res delete won't flag any errors. I disconnected my valves and that created an error when plugged into the laptop but no error on the dash. But the milltek modules cancel the errors if they bother you (£45).

Very nice mate and back to Sepang😀 The ceramics are something else I drove one a couple of days back on a track. Not sure you actually need them for general road use ? They do look great though👍 I'm looking forward to the upgrades 👍👍

Thanks pal!

They certainly look good IMO

"I" can feel difference after having normal steels on my old RS cars and Panny Turbo.

I "feel" as if I can push slightly harder when pressing on, leaving braking a little later, although of course I'm no driving God and can still run out of talent at any time!

Unsprung mass feels so much better too on bumpy roads.

Nice car Chris, I'll keep an eye out for you. I've got sports exhaust and have done the resonator and central muffler delete if you want to hear what it sounds like some time.
