Pirelli GTI Update

<< < (5/22) > >>

Pirelli Paul:
Just a small update this time.

I was back in the UK for a long weekend and had the Brembo's fitted when back, I went for the smaller of the Brembo range (328mm x 28 mm) to keep the weight down and to eliminate the need for spacers and they seem to perform really good and feel a vast improvement over the previous set up. The calipers fitted nice behind the wheels with about 4 mm clearance. All in all very pleased with them but they were expensive (GBP 2,556.00 with the VAT) and took ages to arrive (Around 4 months), so if anybody was thinking of getting them they may be able to find better alternative options.

Whilst back and having the brakes fitted I also took the opportunity to have the timing belt and fuel pump etc. changed, the car had only done 17,242 but since 3 and a half years old now I thought it would be worth doing.

I also played about with the Revo SPS switch and set up for various fuels etc. as follows:
 
Performance A bad fuel     B=6 T=2 F=9 (Same as Revo default)

Performance B average fuel      B=6 T=4 F=9

Performance C good fuel      B=6 T=6 F=9
   
Stock      B=? T=? F=?   
   
Does anybody know what the stock setting is for the Revo switch, is it B1 T0 F0?

Cheers Paul

That's the two-piece disc kit, right? 

Did you do any comparisons with the stock brakes in terms of weight?
