....Pick my 100HP up next week. Its supposed to just be a runaround BUT......
Another person who wants to tune it before they've even driven it! Wait and see and then decide if you need to do anything to it....
Do you own one?

. The 22B on the other hand is just pure disapointment in town. So what that it can do 0-100km in under 4s if there are plenty cars around you... Hence the 100HP, car with a character . My wife even checked my temperature to make sure a am OK, I convinced her this is the best thing one can buy AND we can tow it behind our car for holidays... However since our wheelbarow and lawnmover are not quite standard, the 100HP will feel out of place - not quite part of family. Simply it HAS to be modified. Simpe things... intake exhaust... remap... and the ride has to be looked into.
I have driven it a cpl of times. Its just a bit, well, weedy. Handles nicely but feel it could do with a kick up the rear
Granted there are a few things to do as Stu Demon already mentioned, i have the induction kit and am eagerly awaiting the remap. I have also fitted the sports pedals and a few other things that are personal preference. But leave it standard for a while and see what you think, then do any mods and it will seem like a slightly different car every time you change something thus always keeping it interesting!
I would have thought anything would feel "weedy" if you have an EVO FQ-400 in your current line-up!!

I have the Ragazzon exhaust with the straight through centre pipe and the GSR induction kit. It sounds awesome now and at first I thought it hadn't made a difference to the performance but after a while I did notice a slight improvement so I'm chuffed to bits with it. Not that I wasn't beforehand, and that's coming to the 100HP after owning a C2 VTS previously. The long awaited remap would make it even quicker than the C2 (power to weight) and that should be enough. I mean if you had the money and the patience you could go down the cams route and whatnot (or buy a 150 t-jet lump that's meant for the Bravo!) but ultimately you might aswell buy a faster car with a bigger engine if you find the 100HP weedy
I quite agree with you charlied. I am picking up my 100HP - although it fills more like 100 ponies - today. Reason? Driving A8 in town with its 21l/100km consumption is ... not green

PS.: Just in case somebody asks: I had a dealer car for the day yesteday, and have done some 300km in town, highway and rough backroads. OK not my usual run-around routine but close.
Noise wise on the motorway it's great, neither the exhaust or induction intrude as much as you would think. There's a slight growl from the induction under hard acceleration i.e. overtaking but while cruising it's fine
. No discount though - it would be from hers commision...
Re the 300km: friend's sister is one of the sales ladies there...
Now the tuning aspect of things. Is the 100hp ecu 'inteligent' enough to see it flows better with different intake/exhaust? Than on Gazela Racing site they have cams, surelly it affects fueling, timing etc. No mention there to tune the cars after fitting any of those... Bit of a waste and dangerous.
