Hey buddy who did the xhp flash.Small update after a long time!
Finally did the XHP stage 3 tcu flash.
Very impressed at what a difference it made! Shifts are nice and crisp, car feels alive, I'm happy. The car is a lot more enjoyable to drive now. Loving it

Howsit man. Sorry for the late response. Ricardo from RK Motion loaded the xhp file for me.

Went up to Jhb this past weekend. First long trip with the car. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Didn't really even feel the trip, was super comfortable on long distance. 30d torque was also just pulling the car everywhere with ease 
Going up to Jhb we were driving in a bit of a 'spirited' manner. Average consumption was 6.0l/100km. This was with 3 people in the car and a very full boot
Coming back down we took it a bit easy. Speed was ranging between 120-140. Same amount of people, same load in the boot, consumption was at 5.2l/100km Aircon was also on full blast the entire trip.

Small update:
Had the rest of my exhaust done. We went Full 76mm with one box/resonator. Exhaust was built by Flowtech in Durban. Very happy with the workmanship and how the car sounds!

Did you drive from JHB to DBN in Eco Pro?Went up to Jhb this past weekend. First long trip with the car. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Didn't really even feel the trip, was super comfortable on long distance. 30d torque was also just pulling the car everywhere with ease

Any feedback on the drivability in eco on the open road? I usually find eco pro a pain in the rear. Like it holds the car back. Used it when I initially bought the car and now either use comfort or sport. Granted my car is no where near the power league of your car.

Drivability on a long trip if you're driving normal speeds is fine. It does hold the car back, but not to a point where I struggled anywhere. It worked nicely on a long trip for me, I didn't mind it.

I have to do a trip to Cape Town soon. Will just be me and my dog. will be towing a loaded trailer though. I usually do 130-140 max when towing. Think I will be better off in comfort given the load.

Alright.

I agree. Comfort may be better with your load.
I had 2 other people in the car with me and a very full boot. But I wasn't pulling a trailer.

The exhaust sounds great @Julian_30d - I feel its exactly what you needed? More noise, but still refined for your long weekend trips.
Well done for doing it (FINALLY).
This car is lovely. Pity about the faulty owner ekse.

Thanks Kyle
yes definitely exactly what I needed. Fell in love with the car all over again.Peer pressure strikes again(it's for my own good though).
I was surprised that you were being so nice. Then I saw the last line of your comment

Been a long time since I posted here. No major updates. Mainly been filling fuel, servicing the car and enjoying it everytime I drive it
Got some interior bits from CT Carbon. Very happy with the quality and the look of them. Great service from Dylan as well.
That's all for now
