Your looking about 1k-1.2k in total for calipers, discs, pads and fitting kit

Nice, is that for all round or just a pair?

What you mean dude?

Just the fronts

Those brakes are absolutely massive!! I love it!

Oh right, no i meant did you get a set for all round...but if you upgrade the fronts to those can the rears be left standard and the car still brake effectively/controllably....because of stopping power difference??

Oh, I am not sure but 99% sure that the fronts would be way to powerful for the standard rears, would brake badly... But i just bought these for the rear:



So it will be 350mm front 6 pot brakes and 330mm rear 4 pot brakes

Thats some awesome stopping power and some serious £££ i bet

Haha way to much £££ but with the DS2500 front pads the stopping power should be amazing!

Got a VW Racing intake on order that should be here tomorrow/wed and then remap on friday

Oh and ordered a VW Racing RARB that I will be collecting friday when I get my remap from Awesome GTI. I ordered a whiteline RARB but it was on back order so got a VW Racing one instead

But after this I am saving up some money ha

Niiice, im currently waiting on BCS to call me with good news on their tailpipe delivery so i can pop over and get one fitted, then ill be getting an intercooler and hopefully going stage 2 possibly revo. Depending on funds id like some vwr engine mounts, and some lowering springs oh and some better brakes but possibly uprated instead of big but struggling to find any....£££.... -.- im gonna need euro millions winning ticket at this rate haha!

Haha i know the feeling I should of just bought an R lol. The way ive done it was just abit cheaper then buying an actual R and doing all these mods lol.

for stage 2 you only need exhaust and intake so maybe look into intake instead of intercooler I am fitting an intercooler at a later date. I prefer the APR maps to REVO but its personal preference.

I have a polybush torque mount insert, hoping it improves the 2nd > 3rd gear change when driving spirited, I find it a little sloppy and apparetnly this mount is the reason, so cant wait to fit that!

oh and btw BCS exhaust sounds awesome! Took a while to break in and get louder, was very quite at first but now it sounds awesome!

This is probably the best thread on here at the moment, sooo much progress so quickly.

The pre facelift r bumper and facelift r rear end looks amazing[OK HAND SIGN]hats off to you buddy

I have a K&N Typhoon induction kit already, very nice, different to most people but an intercooler would be nice especially as some experienced mechanic mates have recommended one for the power increase

Quick question dude, im looking on demon tweeks at torque mount inserts, do I need 1 or 2? Says only 2 left aswell! Think i saw you say you had them. Cheers in advance

Sent Via tapatalk

So I am getting my remap tomorrow, going stage 2 (exhaust and induction) just fitted my VW R induction kit:



Because I had issues with the whiteline RARB order, awesome gti transferred my money over to my remap as a deposit. But I then spoke to them about a RARB and they have 1 scirocco VW Racing RARB in stock, so I have purchased that too, and I will collect it tomorrow when getting my map. Fit it Saturday.



Then on the way back from awesome I am stopping off in birmingham to pick up my brembo fitting kit:



And then off to luton to pickup some Ferodo DS2500 pads for them! For anyone who has never heard of these pads but are in to spirited driving I highly suggest you take a look!

Updates to come

An intercooler will not actually give you any power increase, however it will prevent heat soak which in return will sustain power during load. If you get heat soak you lose power.

So you wont actually gain power, but you will get power improvements as you have colder intake, if that makes sense

Thanks dude, appreciate it

Yeh intercooler is purely to keep my engine that bit cooler, not arsed about bhp from that. But ok i might just order a revo torque mount insert, not quite the full deal but for 30 odd quid its not bad!

Can you please post part numbers for facelift rear lights sockets (these new 8-pin) and their pins/repair wires (these yellow ones)?
I can't figure it out neither from ETKA nor from Google.

Thanks.
