Default totally bored with the cosworth

been using the cossie as a daily driver and it has totaly fucked me off, and i am just fed up with it, i hope that i am only bored with it cos its standard and the plan was to stage 3 it, but i dunno what to at the mo, and am thinking of getting shot of it, last week it did 260miles to £50 pertrol and considering its standard it wasnt exactly an exicting drive, if i get rid tho i dont know what else i could get, i enjoy the shows etc, maybe when the shows start and if its faster it will be better

Stage 3 is a proper jump if it's standard it'll totally change the car

up the power. i went from a stage 1 RST to my current stage 1 cossie and im just starting to want more power. stage 3 is a huge leap really turns it from a fast car to a rocket compared to standard form!!!

Dan, I have a second car, a nice Gold TDI, but was using the cossie to fill the gap between getting rid of the ST24 and picking up the TDI
