which is why he decided against it and went for the cheaper option changing to a more powerful car.
the dudes on tdi norths facebook page are on about spending 12k on their crz's which to me is just mindblowing.
i mean, i like them, i have driven nath's enough times to know what its all about. I can certainly see the appeal of it being 200bhp, but it just isnt worth the outlay to get there at all.

Anyone had experience with the Invidia Q300 Exhaust? Just listen to the one Moog on MCM put on his S2K and a few other S2K and must say, does sound quite naughty

I've got one on my super charged Fn2. Build quality is fantastic and it sounds fantastic

Think we need a youtube video.

It is quite loud seeing as I'm running a 4-2-1 manifold. No cat. I'll see if I can get a video

Sweet we need to hear that. I still keep umming and arring about the Focus. I don't think there is any love there, it's quite quick but I don't find it exciting at all really. An FN2 is calling me so I will start collating a checklist with the links you guys posted and see if one is on Civinfo too. Been reading owner reviews etc nothing bad really to say about it and if I make a good checklist I should avoid lemons and make sure I don't get one with 3rd gear syncro issues but really haven't read much bad at all!

Stormster, You're more than welcome to come down to Manchester and have a go in the FN2. I've got a stock one here aswell if you'd like to see how it drives? Should help you make you're mind up
Can always take you out in the super charged beasts aswell afterwards?

Pretty committed there
Kept thinking it would end in tears though especially the amount of time he only has one hand on the wheel!

It also looks like the video has been sped up a little which will exaggerate the effect - looking at his speedo and the rate the scenery is flying past it doesn't quite match up (or at least from whenever I've looked at dashcam videos - which always look like you're going very slowly considering the actual speed)
ah ok, I assumed that carrying speed in a lower gear rather than sitting at around 5k was the best way to go about it, feeding in the throttle gradually rather than using it as an on/off switch and pressing it in mid/late corner to maximise the grip was the fastest way to pedal the car.
Its not like it has the torque to hold a drift or anything so why upset the balance mid corner on purpose with aggressive throttle modulation mid corner? may as well just drive it faster in the first place if you want thrills.
You can hear the car understeer at various points throughout the video which is neither fast nor fun in my experience.
I guess I haven't had my car long enough to be an expert though.
