you do know that BBR now have a programming cable so you can switch back to your standard map, it's just as easy as HT to use though you need a laptop. Neil has given me my standard map, a 19psi and 21psi map so i can choose between them.

No just a normal leon cupra 1.8t its on 51 plate, think they have 180 or something like that. Its quick off the line but the ko3 turbo runs out of steam pretty quick.

When I got in and started driving I thought I had left the handbrake on . Needless to say, as soon as I got home I got straight into the beast and went for a much needed spirited drive (what a difference)  .

my son has a 2005 seat leon cupra R 225bhp and i reckon it feels just as fast as my standard 2006 mk1 3 mps !
gearbox is better too ! i put it down to the fact that his car is much lighter than mine.
The seat is good value for money performance wise he only paid 5k for a mint car with comparable performance to an mps and is going to spend a grand on enough mods to really P*** me off.
Mind you his Glanza Starlet also beat me off the line and up to 40mph !

"Little Miss Dunc" has a Cupra. Its a nice car, but I prefer the MPS. She prefers the cupra, so there is no conflict, but we both enjoy the odd swap for a day.
