I have only used that stuff once, filled up after nearly running the tank dry and felt no benefit whatsoever and felt robbed. I think people 'think' it makes the car run better and convince themselves it does to justify spending more! But if the car is remapped why do you need to do this, no actual mechanical parts have been changed? Is this what the company that remapped it for you told you?
Sorry for all the question just I wan to go to stage two asap and didn't realise this.
Is your car not running right just because of this? Seems bit extreme no like you put the wrong fuel in and you need the system drained is it?

I know this is an old post but i'm new to this and you said you didn't notice a difference. The reason been is when you filled up you had more weight in the car than when you was near empty so you wouldn't notice. Now i only ever use V-Power, i aint used crap juice for years. I did have to put £5 of Murco fuel in once to get me to the nearest shell and i could tell the difference straight off and thats only £5 so no weight really plus it also didn't run as smooth.
Higher octane fuel burns better but dose not ignite as easily as cheap fuel, reducing the risk of knocking (Turbo motors are especially vulnerable to this) also V-Power keeps your fuel tank and engine cleaner.
I mean no offence just feel V-Power is worth the money.
Our lass used it in her Yaris T-Sport and now uses V-Power diesel in her Yaris D4D and she can now tell the difference it makes, it is only slight but once your use to it nothing else is good enough lol

Ta-da!!!!!

I fancy some braided hoses for mine aswell but unsure who makes them for the AP callipers hmmm let us know if you notice any improvement

 

[cupra.al]

[Scott-o]

[Chino_UK]

Sorry haven't updated for a while guys...yep Scotts right, I'm on 288's and they're the transparent red

Not on yet but it's payday tomorrow so gonna have a chat with someone bout sorting them.

Hi Jack, nice to see you on here

Thinking I'm going to lower the front another 10-15mm just to get it a bit more 'nose down' stance.

 

[Scott-o]

Hey too Jack.

Chino, the hoses on mine the fittings needed adapting slightly to fit, just as a heads up. Not sure how exactly so pretty useless information, wasnt much extra of a job i dont think

 

[Chino_UK]

Ah right, will keep that in mind, cheers mate! I have heard about ppl enlarging holes with drills etc to get the beefier lines through etc.
