Love the spec of this.


Does the plate not get a lot of unwanted attention?

[charlie windwood]

Thanks buddy!

It gets a lot of attention admitted, but never been pulled touch wood

Is a 180 a special edition of some kind? Normally they are ST1/2/3 aren't they?

Do you struggle to pass track noise tests? I imagine it's very loud with that exhaust

watch out guys he might gap you

ST 180 is standard Bhp.

Its an ST1, so basic model I.e no leather seats etc.
Its loud for sure, but within track limits as a friend has the same system

Thanks buddy.

I don't really feel she needs an LSD in all honesty.
3rd gear onwards grips pretty good

What I was thinking, how does it handle the power? Looks a really fun bit of kit

PS - more pics!!

Loads of pics on my Instagram! @Charlie_windwood

It drives really well to be honest, for sure its not smooth like standard, but overall im pleased.
Full boost is around 3.5k ish

Haha cheers man!

Pretty sure i follow you on Instagram. Car looks nice mate and alot of work has clearly been put into this!

Please don't call it an ST180 though. It isn't. The car has 200bhp and not 180bhp, regardless of it's over-boost function.

In all fairness, i get why people call it that to obviously distinguish it from the MK6 ST (150).

Keep up the good work regardless. I test drove one of these last year and instantly fell in love with it.

how many grams did you lose on the front bumper from those 6 holes? must really change the handling characteristics of the car.

Might be more to do with cooling/airflow then weight loss

As said, I believe it is so air can get to the intercooler hence why they are cut exactly where the intercooler is.
