  1. Indeed....

    It was your choice to have it done, as it turns out you didn't have to pay but were intending to, it has improved the car a little, and you are happy with it! For anyone who wants to have a remap, it sounds like a good job at a reasonable price. For anyone who wants to tune the engine to the max, they will go ahaead and have it done whatever the cost and will also be happy.

    Horses for courses....

    Personally I would fit a k&n panel, some cold air ducting and then have this done and be happy with that. From what you have told us, I would pick this company to do it as it sounds very good, thanks for the info.

    thats exactly what i have done, performance panel, custom ducting, and a powerchip (which i'm sure will give same power as the jabba version).

  2. have you tried camber 1.5/2? it could be that they would give even more suitable for grip.

    i know that when i changed from dunlop to toyo it was like driving another car, it completely changed the character of the car, it didnt slide anymore. but the grip was great.

    i went to a -1.3 camber in my previous car, and it was interesting as to how twitchy it got, which was fun. i will probably just get -1.5 to be safe. i had a -2 in the gti before and it was ok, that was on the scary dunlops. i only had it on for a short while though so didnt know how tyre wear progressed.

  3. there would be an optimum setting somewhere for handling on the road in wet and dry conditions. and for bumpy to smooth surfaces. you dont want it too negative. it needs to be a compromise as if like me it costs £55 to get it adjusted each time.

    i dont have coilovers, i have H&R cup comfort kit, -30mm.

  4. yeah sorry meant that. they are good service and prices.

    i reccomend you order a sparco bolt fitting kit aswell. as you need the alen key type bolts as spanners/sockets dont have enough room for seat fixing into slides.

    you also need to drill 4 holes into the exisiting rails at side of the floor but i managed to do it, you can drill down through the frame so you dont need to measure anything. holes are needed for normal type bolts to hold rear of frame in place.

  5. i have just fitted a sparco seat, pics of which i will get up this week. i dont recommend universal frames unless you know what your doing and mount everthing to structural areas of the floor area. i fitted a sparco lupo seat frame and slides and its very secure. i would suggest getting the sparco kit to fit your seats.

  6. "Something is going to break... it's not a question of IF, but WHEN"

    Pesimistic ALERT !

    hehe I know a few people who have had tuned cars that have ran healthy for years and they've not uprated all the internals to cope with the increased power, then again I know some people where stuff has gone KA-BOOM! smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    i have ran a car for a year without any air filter and with direct scoop from front grill. so i got all the flies and dirt etc into the engine, but it didnt go bang and the performance was great. not good for longetivity i guess though, but i wasnt bothered the destiny of the car was to perform at its best until it went wrong. usually thats kind of thing is only done on the race track.
