Sanspeed do a remap, I'm thinking about it, although the reviews of the company aren't fantastic, so not sure.
A guy put a Front Mount, Downpipe and air filter on with a Stage 2 map and it made 340bhp on the tuners rollers, and 327bhp at an independant rollers, so nice gains.
was a remapped one at my mates that made 320ish a few months ago on a rolling road day. have seen it about. it fair shifts.
although looking at the graph, the map in it isnt the best.

again, you're comparing it to a car thats over a year old now...
oops my mistake
a year old is nothing pal, most of the cars nowadays are kept in bubble wrap so are mega low mileage and as good as new.
tbh a year old car will lose quite a bit of it's value compared to new cars.
again using my focus as an example. 18k new got a trade in price after a year and they would only give me £13.5k for it. quite a big difference.

i was just replying to that, nothing to do with the ability of either cars as i like both.
i've been driven around a track by a professional driver in a mazda 3 mps and was hugely impressed, could not fault the car at all.

Nope.
Mazda - 1485kgs.
Focus - 1468kgs.
Minor, but the Mazda is heavier. People really don't have a clue about the Mazda.
i never realised that they were so heavy.. !
Most new cars are like that mate. Loads of airbags, big heavy comfy interiors, all the creature comforts!

Big boot, nice room for a cage for a cute fluffy pussy cat. Back seats have nice cute seatbelts perfect for not crushing precious little bunny wabbits ears.

when you get to that power - theres so little in it anyway, you would need 70bhp to see a noticable difference

Jamie, they were massive, vid dont show!
There was a K1 Cupra last night had the same power as the RS, and there was much more noticeable difference in him pulling away!

Strange. Standard Turbo maxes out at 360 apparently so must be 360, strange it was faster than yours then?

Yeah I beat that Type R, supercharged I think? Got a front mount anyway.
What car were you in Frosty? That K1 was proper fast so beating it is impressive
