I was concerned about the pressure drop especially after Rob Don had one fitted in place of his Forge and after testing he opted to remove the Proalloy and refit the forge on grounds of pressure drop. I've been running it for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. I think as a test i'll put...

Saw Tiff do a back to back test with and without ESP and it was SO conclusive i had it fitted to my FR. I am not a "racing driver" so I don not drive like Mr. Plate et al and went from a diesel mondeo estate to an FR. It was a quantum leap in performance for me and I am pleased to have TC and...

That's interesting :yes: I didn't know Rob had put the LCR FMIC back on again. I agree with you, if I'd been looking at 350+ I'd have gone for the ProAlloy cooler. At a guess, I don't think you should have issues with a remaped K04 (or your hybrid), but I can't see them working for a K03...

Ep! More pics I don`t have logs only a little test, go on full throttle about 15 minutes and the car is always under 40ºC with 25ºC external temperature. Surface area is 600x200, 53mm inlet and outlet diameter.

Does anyone know of a dealer in yorkshire with either a Cupra or FR demonstrator. My local seat dealer (Trenton Seat) was very nice but said they don`t have FR or cupra demo cars and won`t be getting any either. Also said they don`t take Cupra`s back in part ex cos most have been thrashed even...

If you`re doing lots of miles get the TDI not petrol. Only the TDI has 6 gears. But either way at 19 the FR may be an awful lot to insure, but if you have the cash...... :D Lots of people on here are quite young with FR`s tho. I have a 20VT FR and its great. If you don`t mind filling up...

Reprofiled cams work but and this is a big but on a single cam engine no matter if it is a petrol or diesel like a 1.9 PD you will get more power top end but less at the bottom therefore shorterning your power range which on a 1.9 PD isn`t very big to start with. Reprofiled cams suit race cars...

how are you going to know if it has pressure loss across the core? putting it in stock mode it will still have requested boost levels which it will achieve.. unless you know its n75 duty cycle before and after, which will give an indication (under same weather conditions) but not a p-loss...

Don`t remove it just because i say so it`s your car at the end of the day. Removing it will bring up a fault code and engine warning light which can be a really annoy some people unless Jabba know how to remove the fault code that is through mapping. I have never seen any tests before and after...

mufflerectomy is a straight through exhaust and it is legal as you don`t need a cat or back box on a diesel. Personally i would get a Milltek since i have heard several cars with a mufflerectomy and to me they sound loud and shite like an old tractor running but it`s cheap and if you like the...

@Dan, well its certainly not the brake caliper so don`t change that. The rear brake is not binding on the disc. @ silver surfer, all pipes and cables were checked and they ok. Its as if the rear braking goes all to the one rear wheel. Something to do with the brake control system maybe...

The old agdage was - It`s not so much `smallport` or `large port` - rather the correct shape of port that really does the business! - and determining that, is a rather more complex task than it might first appear. I stayed with the smallport for road use - the casting having been cleaned up...

If your in the Hull area then it's only Trenton or a trip over the the bridge to Westgate in Grimsby. I've bought from both and the service is good at either dealership but Trenton really crap on trade ins. We have just got Ibiza 1.8T FR (new model) from Westgate (good trade in price) and...

love the dunlop sport 9000's, i havent brought a different manuf of tyre since getting my first pair! They are soft and don;t last as long as the pirelli's (which are pants!), but you suffice grip for longer wear periods. They have been tested with many different companies and came out...

I'd agree on coilovers and they will help or perhaps the new Koni FSD's....However, IMO Anti-Roll bars are your friend, don;t be scared about a larger diameter bar causing understeer either.....you could go as large as 25mm front and 28mm rear if you want. You can buy kits (front and rear)...

I had my LCR with Revo for 50,000miles, when you think about the cost of a product it's also worth considering the 'other' things i.e, customer support, product testing and development that went into your product.....doubtless I could find a 'tuner' that would 'remap' your car for £150.......who...

"...preferring to sacrifice the few extra BHP at the top end offered by the large port head for the benefits of better part throttle running and fuel consumptin offered by the smallport" you think? Ported smallport on yours yes? Spoke with CNC heads @ autosports. Need big wallet for their...

Richi: That`s exactly what i have! Don`t know if it`s really a problem now since everyone is having these... MakoShark2: About the plastics...I`ve droven the A3 and Golf...The A3 is better than the golf and leon on materials ( of course ), but the golf and leon are very similiar in...

you sound as though you went through the same thought processes as myself when it came to choosing your car. You are spot on when you say you must choose a car to fit your circumstances. I test drove STi,s, and an Evo 7 when looking for my next car. Don,t get me wrong they are a great driving...

Hopefully some points regarding use of my car will offer insight:) I`ve done near 40000 miles now since the IHI was fitted in Dec 2005 - i`m still on the original exhaust manifold/turbo exhaust housing/and Jabba downpipe - no obvious signs yet of heat stress/cracking/warping etc. I`ve...
