The Sport is 20hz, the standard Vbox with the majority use is 10hz mate. -

Incorrect.. Both Vbox and Dragy use the same 10 HZ GPS receiver and post identical numbers - I know as I have both. The main difference being the Dragy has moved the game on in terms of its each of use and software platform (instant data for graphs/slopes/G, leaderboards, news feeds, user profiles, video functions etc) Vbox will need to step their game up if they want to compete in terms of sales, as Dragy has well and truly taken over. The £200+ difference in price makes a huge difference also. -
Yes, Wayne has the quickest stock turbo 7R in the UK at Pod that I know of. His was running water meth, race fuel and rear seats out. I will be running pump fuel and full trim in the morning. Depending how that goes, I will remove rear seats in the afternoon to see the difference in results. Will still be Tesco 99 fuel though. I may odd a bottle of octane booster if I get chance to get some, but certainly not bothering with RF. Will do well to to beat Wayne's times with my mods though. Can only try. If I do a sub 11.5 full weight and pump fuel, i'll be chuffed!

Some nice Stage 2 Numbers

These figures look very familiar ;-) -
I assume the White grey is similar to Audi's Suzuka Grey and Seat's Dynamic Grey (which I is one of my favourite colours tbh)? Love the Indium Grey too though, so would be hard to choose (a lot of other VAG models in Indium Grey though). What's happened to the Performance package/titanium exhaust option?
-
What mileage is that on mate? Quite high I assume, as that's quite a hike on some of the prices I have seen banded about for a standard-ish car.

Help needed please guys.. Wanting to get our 7R fitted with the Milltek DP I have recently ordered and wondering where is a good place that don't charge a fortune to fit it? I have been quoted £250+ so far which I think sounds OTT (even though I know it's a PITA). Or is that the going rate? I am based in Lincs, but getting the car mapped at Unicorn. So somewhere in-between there would be useful. Going to try Awesome GTI now, but any other suggestions would be appreciated?

I couldn't give a rat's rear end mate.. So long as I use genuine parts, there is bog all they can do IMO. Like you say though, £150 for main dealer is worth paying tbh. Makes no odds now as I have changed my mind and gone with the maintained contract (ordered today). £6 extra a month, but £120 saving on the admin fee, £150 service covered and if I do scrub the tyres off, I won't be £600 worse off near the end of the contract. -

They have come back to me with a similar price, but I am wandering whether it's worth swapping for the £305 a month deal I have on the table when you question how useful the maintained contract is? The wife will use this car 90% of the time, so there is no way she will go through a set of tyres in 16k. Plus with long life servicing, it will only need one oil service (which I will get done by a friend who is a local VW Indy). -

I'm about to pull the trigger on one for the wife for Jan delivery. Best I have got down to so far for a 5dr DSG in White is £305 a month on a 3 + 23 deal (+£360 admin fee). May push this to a 6+23 closer to delivery, but it's all relative I suppose. Only downside is its 18p per mile excess, so will need to keep a cloe eye on that. Her current car has averaged 7k for the last 3 years, so should be ok. I saw a deal a while back for £286 a month with no deposit other than £300 admin fee for the same spec. Long gone now though :-( Is there better out there do you know guys? I have got another deal for £313 a month with £180 admin fee, so very similar. -

RS5 and RS6 are completely different beasts.. RS4/5's run a N/A V8 which rarely makes anywhere near it's claimed 450bhp. They are also heavy for what they are. RS6 is a blown V8 which makes every one of it's 560bhp and performs A LOT better than it's younger sibling. RS5/4 can easily be taken on and beaten in a 360+ 6/7R. -

I don't think it's a case of people saying it didn't happen. More it shouldn't of happened.. What's your spec also?
