Default Picked up my new Silver/Black 225C and notice some DEFINITE differences..help!.

#1 When I open the drivers door when the car is started an annoying beeeeeep sound happens until I close the door. My 180Q (Mk1) NEVER did that! I want that fixed as it is unnecessary.

#2 The blue/white illumination of the dash is more bluey (bluey?) on the 225 vs more white on the 180.

#3 The rear view mirror is tiny on the 225. Looks good but not functional.

I haven't really tested the handling (MkII now) but its not as BAD is everyone says. Different but still quick in the corners...more later.

The power difference is INCREDIBLE. My 180 with GIAC Chip and Borla was not as strong as this. Torque is noticably less (207 ft lbs stock) but it will get better once my chip and exhaust are installed soon. Bye the way no bypass valve sound to speak of yet...YET!

I recommend this upgrade to everyone!

(please comment on the door sound if you are familiar with it)

Default My door does it too, and my roommate's S4...

...and I don't know if you can turn it off.

Glad to hear you're liking the power increase. =)

Default Do you mean your 180Q with chip etc. had more torque than the 225?
