mileage!

i guess it would be undriveable without the T/C with so much power/torque through the front wheels. can't get it to work on track, brakes get too hot, even with drilled discs, full race pads and brake cooling ducts - problem is front brakes used for stability system, virtual limited dif, traction control AND most of the stopping - end result - melted discs, gone through 3 pair disc and 4 sets of pads, so its drag racing only now, no trackdays

That's fair does but if you can go that fast i wont bother turning it off

Flaming hell!
What make discs and pads you using?

Am i right in thinking your cars for sale? :S

 

[ibizaracebrake]

discs are factory as its eaten £300+ of drilled and grooved ones, pads are Ferodo 'race only' FRP3083H and are a hundred times better than factory AP pads which are TOTAL S**T.

Get the virtual diff disabled? And turn off stability and traction on track.

Lol tempting but only got about a month left with it so No thanks

What's this virtual diff your on about?

 

[techie]

XDS, it mimicks a LSD with the ABS system braking a wheel that starts to spin thus putting drive to the other wheel. Its an advanced EDL I guess that our cars have had for a long time.

 

[mazzerati]

Excuse me for being thick but what's xds? And edl actually mean

Will anything transfer from my mk4 then or am I gunna have to buy it all again? D:

 

[techie]

XDS not 100% sure, something differential system I would guess. The virtual limited slip differential

EDL Electronic Diff Lock

Suspension wont swap over.

 

[mazzerati]

Ah cool thanks

What about the rear arb?

 

[techie]

Yes that will.

 

[mazzerati]

That will definately be coming across if I get one then took ages to find a second hand one lol.

What's the setup like on the mk5 then has it gone back to the same as the mk3?

 

[techie]

Rear is the same, front hubs and struts are the same the main difference is they have junked the MK4 top bearing arangement and used the MK1 Leon type bearing.

 

[mazzerati]

Cos its stronger I'm guessing?

I'd like one of these I'm just a bit worried about this rattley dsg malarky :/ sounds dodgy.

 

[tweedz]

[mazzerati]

[techie]

Turbo/supercharged one or normal engine?

Its a Sport so normally aspirated.

 

[barnsley]

you ever done a clutch on a dsg techie?
imagining it will a bucket load of cash?

not had a box off on a 1.4 yet but had on off a 2.0 no harder to take off than a normal manual gearbox
