Pirelli GTI Update
Pirelli Paul:
Hi All
Just a small update this time from my recent trip to the UK as follows:
1) Revo stage 2 software was updated to the new version with the linier throttle control, Unfortunately I have no comments on it at this time as the weather was bad and the road conditions were not so good so I kept it pretty much on the standard default setting but also had the adjustments made to the SPS by Vagtech as follows:
Current switch settings Boost Timing Fuel
Performance A 4 (Boost) 4 (Timing) 5 (AFR)
(Mild)
Performance B 6 (Boost) 6 (Timing) 7 (AFR)
(Medium)
Performance C 9 (Boost) 5 (Timing) 7 (AFR)
(Aggressive)
2) Vibra-Technics VAG455B - Torque link (Dog bone) bush, small end
3) Vibra-Technics VAG520M - Torque Link Chassis bush
4) Vibra-Technics VAG500M - LH Gearbox mount
5) Vibra-Technics VAG510M - RH Engine Mount
6) Beissbarth 4 wheel alignment
7) VW MK6 GTI LED Number Plate Lights
8) Adapter leads for the LED number plate lights so that the bulb out warning does not display
9) Wheels stripped and blasted and powder coated in a darker colour so that they don’t show up the brake dust and dirt so much and also new Pirelli centre caps were also fitted.
10) Jet washed the underside of the car to get all the road grime off it and washed and hovered it and packed it away in the garage
11) Made a boot template for Luis (AKA Squeeguk) so that he can start reviewing the future audio install boot build
Some pictures below:
P.S. My 18 year old son and me also spent a day with Luis (AKA Squeeguk) getting a nice Alpine double din head unit fitted and also Hertz speakers fitted in the front and rear of his Corsa D. What a difference this made to the sound quality etc. and my lad was so happy with it. I was surprised how much work was involved, don’t anybody think it’s a few hours work, door panels had to come off and be modified internally to fit the crossovers, rear seats had to come out to get the rear side panels out to install the rear speakers, the A pillar cap and the glove box consol had to come out to run the microphone for the phone and also this had to be routed through the headlining and be placed behind the factory microphone location and all in all a good 9 hours or so were needed to do everything properly. Also anybody wanting car audio fitted don’t hesitate to go and see Luis I could not recommend him more, a top guy who is a perfectionist and very knowledgeable in his line of work and to top the day off nicely he even treated my lad and me to a dinner with his wife and son before we headed back home.
I am in communication with Luis now on a high end audio install for my Pirelli which should get installed hopefully early next year and is something I am very much looking forward too.
A picture below of the head unit in my sons Corsa:
Cheers Paul
Squeeguk:
Hey Paul
Thanks very much for the kinds words, couldn't have done it without the two of you to be honest. Was a pleasure meeting you and Cory and discussing what to do with the Pirelli. All I can say on that score is, what an amazing car you've got there and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Your system is going to sound and look awesome, especially with your choice of components.
See you soon.
Pirelli Paul:
Cheers Luis
Catch up with you soon, have a good holiday mate.
Cheers Paul

hi paul, your car continues to amaze me, such an amount of work you have done to it.
your alloys look amazing btw, very very nice.
I spoke to you a while back about the little anti theft screws on the valve caps, I decided to take mine off as they where rusting badly, the actual valve caps where ok but stated to get rust stains on them from the screws so a gave them a good wash and just put them back on without the screws, are fine now.
:happy2:
Pirelli Paul:
Thanks for the kind words Scott
I went down the same route mate. I removed the grub screws and they are fine :happy2:.
Cheers Paul
