Me and wife have just purchased a Fabia 1.2TSI. With 1200km still no strange sounds, but good to know for if it appears later :)

@kaskvard As someone say, the '991' term refers to the actual iteration of the 911. 911 passed through 930, 964, 993, 996, 997 and now 991 iterations.

@gti260 215/35? I was expecting to hear 235/35, nor 215/35. That means that they are 0.5 cm in diameter smaller than OEM 225/40R18 and 1 size narrower. Does not have heavy traction issues? Although they look a bit stretched ovr a 8.5'' wide rim.

Why do you have a third clamp? I've seen pics of the installed Carbonio with only two clamps, thw nearest two to the MAF assembly, without that first clamp you have near the carbon shell

;an, the intake sound seems totally stealth! I cannot notice it alt all in the vid. Can be noted in 1st person? Some other vids show a noticeable Whossssing sound when releasing throttle at high revs with the Carbonio intake. Maybe that can be noted only with windows down?

I've just bought a Fabia 1.2TSI 85cv for my wife. Awaiting delivery next week. I find irt pretty fast in this vid for this power and weight. The turbo torque of 160Nm is on the same league of the old naturally aspirated 1.6 liter, which had 153Nm, and this little turbo offers the torque lower in ...

@clabbe77 Yes the 0 sems to be displaced to de 20kmh mark, so 200kmh would be when the needle hits 220.

Oooops! So sorry... really, watching the vid, I didn't expect the car to oversteer in that moment. I won't enter in a chat of if it could have been avoided with faster counter, etc... myba just bad luck in the first moment, a bit oiled patch, a wet patch, many things. O the Nordschleife and with ...

@alamos8 Sorry, i wanted to write "wrote it off", not "writed it off", a lapsus form a non-english

@rbyor Most chiptuners quote crankshaft figures. I f Bluefin quote 250 or APR 256, for example, they ara bhp, not whp. I have a Stage-1 262bhp quoted Bluefinned Scirocco 2.0TSI (realistically, around 250bhp), and as said are bhp, not whp.

I find it quite fast. What is the power of this car? If it is 150bhp, it seems very fast for 150bhp.

@IBMaccMartelli Obviously depends on the corner. A Cayenne Tirbo with Porche wheels and suspension is quita capabla for its size. But this 30'' thing... prob it can only goes 30mph, if more the tarmac will destroy its pneus and square the alloys... expensive but futile.

Very impressive, and it seems real. The car onvisuly has the speed limiter removed and increased RPM limit. Probably has a Stage 3 kit? GT30 turbo maybe? Around 400 bhp? Only guessing

Interesting this downpipe. I'm currently searching for the proper DP for my euro Scirocco 2.0TSI 200 (MY2009, spanish car). Without Stage 2 (with only stage 1 or stock map) will this item raise a CEL yellow light on the dash? Will pass let's say a german TUV emissions test?

@alamos8 I answer myself: 2 persons aboard the Mini and only 1 person in the civic counts for some of the difference. The other is the power difference and the good traction of NA cars from stanstill, better than traction from superchatged/turbocharged FWDs if you are not quite good with throttle

What kind of remap has this car? Stage 1? Form what firm, APR, REVO, custom...? Expected bhp?

@TheXLucasX Ok, thanks, typical Stage 1 then, with realistic torque

Is really the Scirocco stock and is really the FR remaped with 260hp?I find it impressive that the Scirocco could kep up without remap. Was everything ok with the FR?

Engine light on? Has the car a de-cat downpipe? Gives it a bit more bhp?

Japanese Type R (225bhp stock) with aftermarket exhaust (very loud!!!!) and maybe some other bolt-on like intake against I suppose a Scirocco 2.0TSI, stock or modded?

In the end, the BMW holding the camera fast the faster car... maybe a 335Ci?

Seems very fast, specially with two aboard and full tank. Seems from 100 to 160 like a Stage 1 remap easily. Is it remapped in the vid?

At full throttle, you are fully exploiting the advantages of the 7-speed gearbox,as the first 6 ratios are shorter than the manual 6-speed and thus give you abit of extra acceleration :) The ratios are also shorter than the 6-speed DSG in the 2.0TSI. I have a 2.0TSI DSG and 2nd, 3rd and 4th are l...

@Knuspersuppe It is a fucking 2.0 engine,yes, but it makes around 300Nm stock, which is +/- the same as a BMW 330i, and gets it lower in the rpm range. And if remapped, it can go over 370Nm, 380, or over 400Nm (420Nm for example), and 420Nm is in the region of torque of a 4.0 or 4.2 V8, but with...

Amazing.... maybe the most radical sport Merc in many many years? I find it more sport-oriented than even the SL 65 AMG Black Series, even being that more powerul. I find this somewhat on the spirit of a 911 GT3 or a M3 GTS, and I like it!

@Grov22 Thanks for the answer. Only that the RS is not in the same weight class as the EP3, as far as I know the Ep3 is around 1300kg, while the RS in in 1450+ kg, almost 1500kg, those are 200kg difference that count a lot, but the inmense power and torque of that turbo engine remapped is able to...

So finally Hot Version was not cancelled like Best motoring. Phew!

@SuperGaliciacalidade Eu tamén a quero saber, sóame moitísimo, pero non a ubico

@tinorigianl21 Any 343hp NA car would fail in straight line against a 406hp Turbo car in the same range of size and weight. Not only this RS has more power, but the torque difference is astinoshing. The M3 has 370Nm, and this Focus with that power surely has more than 540Nm, at least, maybe a bi...

@nicckko Why you say that? I think that woshing sound on throttle release is normal for an open filter intake like the EVOMS on a turbo engie

Holy Shit! That GTR is Fast as Hell! 800+ bhp for sure. I'm not so sure about the dual-clutch gearbox durability on these powered-up GTRs... but one certein is for sure: enormous acceleration for both cars in the wet, where AWD rules

Ahí, ahí, que se noten esos recién adquiridos cv, RoveN!!! :DUn saludo!

Strange knocking sounds in the Nissan at 1:44???

@semihkarlav No, the touge section of the Hot Version program usually is about testing the feeling of tuned cars and driving them fast through the touge to get a clocked time, so drift is usually deleted from the ecuation, as it would be slower. Sometimes they run a joke lap with a girl in the ca...

@uberVduber because for that he has now more than 200.000 views, including mine. Waste of time...

Me also likes to drive in the wet, it is fun and gives a pleasurable sensation of control :). I have a lame onboard video of me & my car on a patch of coast road (dry), but it is bad :(. Soon wil take a better one, I need to refine the camera position though: /watch?v=HVgBA8Vqf7E

@LockyerJnr I agree. The S15 is a very beautiful car, but bettr withou that OEM wing. The same as the european BMW E36 & E46 coupes
