Bryans Black GTI -
gobbleplease:
The brakes are custom jobbies from Dave b on here, I'm not sure if he has a constant supply off them, as far as I'm aware there were only two sets made, you would be better speaking to Dave about them mate. I think the road versions that rr has retail at about 1750 but can be had for about the 1600 mark if you know where to look. If you are looking for some stoppers wheather they are Aps or not I would say speak too Dave as I've seen a few other kits he has and they look ace.
I have pressed full length plates to go on mate, but I'm waiting for my new front splitter to be painted first, I also need to replace a bit of that plastic mesh trim as a stone has smashed it to pieces, I'm getting there though
next week it's rns 510 and carbon fibre dash if I find the time.

Blueflame exhaust fitted now, im a bit disapointed that blueflame didnt supply exhaust clamps so i had to find my own !
otherwise its a grate system. It grumbles and pops on the over-run, not boomy at all under normal driving and on motorways.
Its quite loud on cold start up but when its been running for a wee while it calms right down, its got a nice tone when ripping it too although i did expect it to be louder.
BIG PIPES
also fitted was the RNS 510, although due to needing an ariel adaptor to convert the twin to single ive decided to remove it until i get the adaptor. You can probably see from the picture that the vents and lower trim has suffered from some air freshner weepage so im going to replace that when it gets refitted !
Next weekend its remap and intercooler time !!!! Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaa

Discreet torpedo launchers there Bryan!
I like the setup and the choice of mods so far. Does it drive any differently as in feel and response? :smiley:
Keep it up :congrats:

Yea the blueflame is sweeeet !
The feel and response has improved no-end Pete. If you turn the wheel, even just a touch the car responds instantly without roll or any dramas, the stiffer bushes ect give improved feel through the wheel and pedals and it really let's you feel what the engine is doing and what kind of ground and grip the front wheels are finding. The damping is great, it just works and really soaks up everything perfectly with out the oem squirm, basically you don't even think about the suspension anymore it just works and I can't think of how it can be improved. The arbs are great too the only time I think I would benifit from oem arbs are on corners with pot holes (they don't even need to be that deep) the car suffers from spin when you even apply a little throttle on the power out, it wasn't as bad on oem arbs but whenit finds it's grip again it grips harder than oem, so it's swings and roundabouts really but like I said in all other situations the updated arbs make a differance.
Obviously with all this the ride comfort suffers a bit on rough ground but it's better than standard at high speed over uneven surfaces IMO. The ride hasn't suffered too much it's just deep low speed pot holes that really does my box in
