Pirelli GTI Update
Pirelli Paul:
Hi Rob
Yes the Brembo's are a 2 piece disc set up, unfortunately I didn't weigh them but whilst being a lot meatier than the previous set up the garage guy advised they were considerably lighter. Previously I ran Tarrox Sport Japan Drilled & Slotted Discs with EBC Yellow Stuff Brake Pads and Neuspeed Stainless Steel Brake Lines (These were actually quite a vast improvement over standard set up and I still run this set up on the back).
Cheers Paul

Lovely car Paul!
I had VagTech do some work on my car a while back, top lads! :smiley:

Cheers Marty
Yeah fully agree the guys at VagTech are sound guys, working on cars seems more of a passion than a job to them, normally I will arrange the works I want done the day I fly back to the UK and I spend the day there with them drinking coffee and having a chat and helping out where I can when they are working on the car and its always enjoyable.
Paul

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
