The R is on the list of possible purchases in the coming months and I'm looking at 2017 cars with as low mileage as I can get. Heres my question have the later facelift...

Re: R brakes advice
I wouldnt change the discs first off tbh. Pads and flexi lines should improve your heat issues massively as the pads will be designed to work in a higher heat range and the fexis will take out the loss of peddle feel as they wont expand as thefluid gets hot. You can basicly spend 300 quid to do this...

Re: R brakes advice
ive read most of the posts on here and im not sure why there is a big push to replace the front brakes on the R with a £1500 kit. ive only had mine 4 months and have already done 2 track days and the one thing I can say is I have never found the front brakes lacking in power to slow the car up. yes ...

Re: Stage II+
I thought the current fuel pump upgrades were a mod to the oem pump on an exchange basis which is why I would rec it. if it isn't then as long as it is a well known brand like a bosch then there are no reliability issues with them. I ran one in my 500bhp rx7 track car running a much higher than stan...

Re: Stage II+
the only reason to fit the fuel pump is to hold higher pressure at higher revs when more power is asked for. maps will generally ask for more fuel as the intake temp increases for example if you run in a hot country or do long runs in summer on track days. my advice would be to get the fuel pump don...

Re: R Brake pad Upgrade
i know its not a scirocco but i used ferodo ds2500 on my rx7 road legal track day car which was running 356mm ksport 8pot setup and would highly recomend them. the car was running 500bhp and did 4 or 5 track days a year.and about 2000miles on the road never had an issue on road or track.
