Get it mapped as well, 185bhp and 310lbft :)

The 2.0TDI works really well in it, 236lbft in a small car makes it very punchy and easy to drive.

Very nice, the A1 looks lovely but was a bit pricey for me and they didnt do the 2.0tdi when i was looking to buy. I have a 2011 Ibiza FR 2.0TDI (same chassis and engine as yours) and it is a great little car. I have done 5k in it now and average over those miles is 51mpg. Any reasonable length...

Thanks, I live in Buckingham :)

Yep, mine has the joins too, think it is normal.

Cheers guys, i will give TDF a shout as they are a bit closer. Could be a group N map, idles at 1200-1250rpm and redlines somewhere around 8k. Doesent seem to be any extra power up there though and the idle makes pulling away difficult. It still has a very pronounced 5k kick which most maps...

Evening all, I recently bought a clio cup and it has an unknown remap on it (higher idle and increased rev limit). I am looking to revert it to standard as i used to own a cup previously and preffer the standard power delivery. The 1200rpm idle is also a little annoying at times! Is it...

Had a clio 172 cup from new for 6 years, sold it and bought an Audi A3 2.0T Sline. Audi was a lovely motor but so dull, kept it a year but now back in another 172 cup. It rattles and is an absoulte shed compared to the Audi but it puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it! Cant beat the...

Ok cheers, will start by checking the shocks. Does the positive caster on both sides point more at something like the subframe being bent as well?

Morning all, I have recently bought a clio cup. When i got it home i noticed it was running negative camber on the o\s\f but nearside seemed fine (my own fault for not taking it on long enough test drive) On closer inspection im guessing it may have had a knock at somepoint in its life...

Cheers guys, those prices sound better, i will get some quotes.

Evening all, Can anyone point me in the direction of which insurance companies they use to cover a standard\modified 172 cup. I phoned my insurance company today (more than) to swap my cover from an Audi A3 2.0T (group 15) to a 172 cup (group 16) and they said they wouldnt cover me. I am 29...

Trialing the revo and motech maps, will let you know how it goes.

Sounds about the same as mine. Thats another thing that bugs me, the performance doesent justify the poor mpg. The 2.0T does seem to refined, was expecting a big surge of power but it feels more like a naturally aspirated and doesnt rev anywhere near as freely as the clio used to. You...

Know exactly how you feel mate! I went from a mint 172 cup to a 56 plate audi a3 2.0t sline. Lovely car but so dull in comparison to my old cup. I am getting the audi remapped next week to 250bhp / 285lbft. If its still not fun after that its going. What sort of mpg do you get out of...

Good stuff, i will keep an eye out for it around Buckingham. If you get flashed by a Grey audi a3 its me :)

Unfortunately not, i am driving an audi a3 2.0t at the moment but not getting on with it, nice car just a bit boring. Going to see if i can buy my cup back from the lady i sold it to! How is the 182 compared to the cup?

Yep, thats the road just outside Buckingham up to stowe. I live in Buckingham also mate and had a cup until i sold it a few months back. What was the reg on your old cup, wondering if you had my brothers old one KP52KVC i think it was?

I am in the same boat mate. Had my cup from new (6 years of ownership) and sold it a few months back and bought an Audi A3 2.0T. I thought 200bhp turbo would be great but it doesnt come close to the cups fun factor! Going to see if the person i sold it to will let me buy it back.

Very nice mate! I made a similar move and changed from a cup to a dolphin grey 56 plate 2.0T S-Line a few weeks ago. How you finding it?

Gaz, what Ibiza cupra do you have? 160bhp tdi? Was actually looking at those along with the audi, lot of car for the money.

Cheers, pretty happy with the price. Was off a family member and has fsh, cambelt done etc. Might have to look at retro fitting the Bose system then.

Couple of shots of the interior

Agreed. It definately lacks some of the excitement the cup used to deliver. I started to find that i never really got to drive the cup properly in the last year or so since i changed jobs, so it was a bit of a waste. At least with the Audi i get to ride the torque wave. It is my first...

Paid £8700 for it. 1 company car owner with 80k on the clock.

Dolphin Grey all the way! Only picked it up on Thursday so not had it long. The S3 has 265bhp doesnt it? I am very tempted to get mine remapped by revo to 250bhp & 285 lb\ft but it has 80k on the clock so im sure things will break if i do that! Revo do a free trial though for a few hours...

Quality, get some pics up. What car did you have before? Type-r?

I know what you mean about the sportback, i think the backend looks better somehow. Maybe the lights or something. Am tempted to swap for an S3 bumper as i think that would make the car.

Yeah, white is probably my favourite colour for the A3. Am hoping the Grey will hide the dirt a bit better than the normal black etc.
