Re: New Motor!

Any1 had any experience with Revo or Bluefin? Was thinking off purchasing a bluefin as there plug n play ? Might be worth asking on the tuning part of the forum, you should get more input there as they don't get out much :D Ha! If it was my money it'd be revo rather than bluefin - gains have been l...

Re: BMW M135i

The looks are 'challenging' but the engine is epic. Few people on pistonheads who've got one have mentioned 10% discounts to be had. I would!

Re: Buy Scirocco now or wait for the facelift?

From what I've read on here sounds like it's going to be a bit longer than early 2013 for the facelift.

But by all means go with M1144s if u think that suits ur needs.

I've tried both and know what I prefer that's all. :)

Yeah that's the post I was going on which doesn't seem to me to recommend the ds2500s much but does the m1144's.

Re: R Brake pad Upgrade

Deacon DaveB's post further up answers your question surely ? M1144 is TRACK pad DS2500 is FAST ROAD pad Unless you do plenty of track days or drive on the road in that kind of way, DS2500's will suit you fine. I have just re fitted a new set of these to the APs and they are perfect for fast road u...

Re: R Brake pad Upgrade

Cheers Dave. The R or S3 kits heavier than I'd like ideally. Have had a look at the nqsbbk but know from Andy (wigit) that they needed spacers behind the stock 18's and I want to avoid spacers really. The m114 set up sounds like a good stop gap until I can find something light enough that fits witho...

Re: R Brake pad Upgrade

DaveB could you recommend a fast road brake upgrade set up for the Rocco that'll work behind the stock 17's?

Cheers!

Forgot how much I like it on the 17's!
Forgot to add on this while I was doing it I used the vw wheel brace for the first time. It shattered. Not impressed.

Re: Wheels on VW's site

I did do a search for: 1K8071499AAX1 hoping for info, to no avail.. Google-ing reveals it's 8J x 19, a rocco fit, much like the similar lighter colour 1K8071499A16Z. Does anyone have info on this wheel or know where to obtain. I've emailed, to no avail as yet. I was interested in the VWM wheels, bu...
