R5GTT'S Cars rapid
v4rley:
Those units don't seem to be a prefect fit although it can be a bit fiddly trying to fit them as the connector doesn't have much room. Sad to see your not going K04 although exactly know where your coming from will keep following and see where you go.

Stage 2+ (with a little WMI) is enough for me as a daily family car - the '+' HPFP mapping really opens up the lower RPM range.... Had a great drive last night to collect some headlights, effortless TDI-like torque from as low as 2k rpm. It's ample in a car that rarely (if ever) sees a 60/70mph speed limit. Spend some of that cash on a really decent set of boots (tyres) if you haven't already - it makes the world of difference

Me & @r5gtt mentioned your level on tune the other day. we was saying its a practical amount of usable power for the road.
I also agree that I people dont put much consideration into the quailty of tyres. everyone seems obsessed with high BHP figures, yet wonder why they get so much wheelspin when they run plastic tyres :thinking: :thinking:

I've noticed they are not made to the perfect angle so going to have to send those back. :sick:
Yes I've come to learn the K04 power will not be needed for my use and wasted a whole leap of time money on this but stage 2+ is still on the cards :happy2:

Plenty still to do with the monies from selling ko4 bits
Looking forward still

Yea Mij I'm just going to stick with stage2 + which will be ample power for me :driver:

Me and G man were discussing your level of power the other night with wmi so going to stick with that idea and you're right the tyres are very important as my old car had nice boots on to keep it from going all over the place although Pirelli were recommended I went with eagle f1 asymmetric tyres and they were enough to hold grip to the ground even on rainy wet or damp days. :happy2: thanks

yea smart arse I'll be replacing my plastic types for a decent set even though I've got at least 5mm on each tyre so maybe sell those once I've replaced them to someone like you :angry015: :signLOL:

Had Eagles, switched to Michelin PS4.... Much better all round tyre, the traction is in a different league to the F1s. I'd whole heartedly recommend over the Eagle F1's, but either would be a whole lot better than plastic tyres... :signLOL: I had a set on a while back when i borrowed some wheels whilst mine were being refurbed...... 80mph traction issues on a cold damp night coupled with feeling more like you're aqua-planing than being in contact with the road was enough to put me off ever buying them.
