Back to work today so on the computer and time to update properly!
So had the car all week not done that many miles but love it so far feels completely different the torque feels improved through the rev range, I dont feel like i need to put my foot down so much in casual driving to get up to speed which is nice.
The car sounds different with vtec engaging around 4.5k rpm and red lines around 9k rpm which sounds nuts especially with the 4-2-1 manifold! :lol: the EML flashes when your close to redline as a shift light which is pretty cool! Ive had a little play with the launch control and all i can say is WOW!! its a bit silly dont try it in the wet....haha but on a hot day should get a fast start, I will be testing it at York raceway on the 27th of this month
Some pics from last week getting parts fitted at Grinspeed and tuning at TDI North
I had fitted:
Stoptech touring BBK kit
HEL lines all round with Motul fluid
rear Brembo pads
ASR subframe brace
D2 LCA's (didn't have any others in stock and thought the purple looked pretty cool!)
Japspeed 4-2-1 decat manifold
M2 Inlet manifold with thermal gasket
2 rear drop links 1 had snapped and the ARB was just hanging there haha oops!
Valve clearnces were done engine was at 50,000 and 3 were out so good job it was checked!
Oil and filter change then had the K100 and mapping done the next day at TDI only took around 2 hours in the morning
