As regards the "All off", It feels great on dry road with warm tyres, I track day a Caterham so used to that all off feel. But I am conscious of 510bhp to rear wheels and don't wish to be "that guy" that kerbed or worse his brand new car. I pushed it to break out and it does feel very controllable, but would like to do a drift day or get it off the public roads to explore this. I don't want to do a full on track day, so may be need to find an empty car park and have some fun. its just so capable that your 20-40 mph faster than everything else on the roads. without being anywhere near the limits.
My Jag XEs was 325BHP and could get 38mpg on a good run, and the QV recons 34 combined, I would like to know if anyone is actually getting that. I have some very long motor ways on Tuesday so will get a better Idea after that.
Feel free to PM me and can discuss monies
I got 37 on a run down to Bedfordshire last week (from Cheshire) - not hanging about, but in Eco on the Motorway. I also averaged around 30mpg during a 3 weeks, 3500mile road trip around Europe last summer, 3-up with a lot of luggage, and some spirited driving.My Jag XEs was 325BHP and could get 38mpg on a good run, and the QV recons 34 combined, I would like to know if anyone is actually getting that.

....that said, my usual consumption, mostly around town and short cross-country trips, struggles to break 20mpg!
Done 150 miles today and 17.1 mpg, it was a fun few hours!
Has it got 65 litre tank? Showing empty but able to fill up 57 litres ?
Need to do exhaust flap mod, not been able to have noise on request is frustrating, I drive dynamic most of time and Race on twisty stuff with bumpy mode on
Thank you

My Jan 68 plate QF averaged 36.4 mpg or 7.5 lpkm over 335miles or 540km in France using roughly 200 miles Autoroute and 135 N roads recently. 2 people, one large dog and a boot full of luggage. I'm happy with that.
Driven spiritedly over some 100k of mountain roads in the Rodez region it averaged about 12 litres per k. Happy with that too.
I use either Shell V Power @ 1.45pl or supermarket 98 @ 1.35 plus a fill of Tescos finest 99 when in UK.
The car has done some 3500 miles in total.

Do the AHM mod as quick as possible, you will not regret it . Speak to Greg, 01252 845717. It’s made every day driving fun. Has it got 65 litre tank? Showing empty but able to fill up 57 litres ?

Will you soon know of a car with a broken gearbox?
Likely you think ? Invalid warranty too?
However if AR found out you have done it, it would invalidate the warrantee without doubt.
And sorry to sound all sensible, but how much power do you need (I’ll await for the abuse lol) . If your not track daying the car, then the 510, can only just about be used in the daily basis !!

Is this a switchable feature ?
Yes that’s the beauty of it. The remote gives you access to all the noise in all the modes and you can turn off and on. It also has memory so it reverts to the last setting. In the off mode. The car works in the normal manner as factory. So if the remotes are removed from the car it would be difficult for AR to know it is even fitted. !! Edited by FocusRS3 on Saturday 20th April 16:42

I haven't put my dogs in the back yet ,but it looks just fine for them especially with the seats back , so leaving a very small floor space.Driven spiritedly over some 100k of mountain roads in the Rodez region it averaged about 12 litres per k. Happy with that too.

Interesting . So do ALFA not offer a similar system ?
Also are these upgrades not recorded within the ECU somewhere ?
I only ask as I know JZM Porsche can always detect a cars history
