I’ve just found this excellent vid too. It has got me lusting after another, just after my thoughts had strayed (heaven forbid) onto another marque.

the only part of the video that annoys me is some of the misquotes from alex. Apparently the LE and plus came with brembo calipers. So did the 20vt's tongue

Apparently, the Plus was called Plus because of the extra wide turning circle and the extra spoke in the alloys.

Also, the space saver tyre was inflated by an extra 2psi, and the exhaust came with 1 extra burble.

Caught up with this excellent shoot at last, one of the most down-to-earth but overall positive vids I've seen about it. Ideal and relaxed craic from yourself Nick under pressure from cams and mikes, also hats off for loaning it to someone else!

Really well thought-out video with plenty of action angles interspersed with chat and solid info.

The coop looked immense btw though don't suppose it stayed that shiny for long!

This one isn't standard surely?
I'm sure it should have been mentioned.

Makes you wonder why they didn't call it the Extra.

It's not too far off standard to be honest.

Power - it has a stage 1 turbo, SIP with cone filter and full stainless exhaust. It has a Blitz boost controller, which is set to approximately 1.08 bar. So its probably around 240BHP and not far off a GTEC 1 chipped Coupe.

Everything else is standard (suspension, brakes, gear shift, bushes etc)

So it definitely sounds louder (and better) than standard and has a bit more of a kick! smile

I can't imagine there many (if any?) Coupés out there running bog standard bore mild steel exhausts?

If you haven't upgraded things like the OEM DV either, then it's probably making less power than standard anyway. Mine was a useless piece of perished rubber 10 years ago...

If you're running a SIP, you must have a FMIC too?

My bad. It seems to go well though.
Surely a FC performance map is in order.
Best thing I did to mine.

Oh yea, it has a FMIC too! smile

My last couple of coupes have been mapped by Flea and he's done a good job. The current map on this one is fine though - I have other things on the list above a remap!! smile

Echo that - the difference was pretty much night and day when Flea gently tuned mine. Talk about making a Coupe all she can be! And better fuel returns too win-win!.....your coupe looks like she deserves it!
