Hahahaha, good one! No, but for sure is more expensive and with all these surprises that keep coming, the remap will have to wait.

Seems that I have to dig deep in my account to buy another thing: adjustable sway bar end links. The ASTs lowered the car so much that the OEM links don't fit anymore.

I've read online that you can fit MB Vito 639 (2003+) drop links. They're shorter and very cheap. :wink:

Whoops, didn't know that. From what i see in some googled pictures they will fit, but last night at about 2 AM I bought these:

Hope they'll be up to the job, they have good reviews on ebay, are aluminium made with with uniball "Lightweight aluminium bodies CNC machined from 7075 aluminium. The motorsport specification ball joints are nickel plated steel with high polished stainless steel inserts."
Hope they're not cheap China made.

What a build :laugh: Loving the brakes and suspension :happy2: I didn't think AP Racing did J hook discs? Were they Reyland's own discs? I had AP Racing years ago and the grooved discs lasted 60k miles on the road. No cracks.
Where did you get the Li-ion battery?
How do you find the Wagner intercooler vs S3? Did it add any lag?
Great work :happy2:
teo_parvu:
Thanks, Pud! :happy2: I try to keep up with the guys from this time attack series in which I participate.
Hmmm, good one with this Wagner, I thought I'll will see a massive improvement over the S3 ic during the summer.
For sure is better but not by a landslide, I believe the difference is on the track only. But do not worry about any lag with K04, it feels even better than with the S3 ic. This is strange because it has a bigger volume, but I think they did some serious testing and got a superior design.
I got the battery from a motorcycle site: www.germany-motorsports.com
Had only one problem with it, when I had to stay with the hazard lights on for 30 mins it was almost flat dried. It took me more than 24h to charge it with it's special charger (at first the charged declared it dead, but I insisted and ar some point charging begun). Since then absolutely flawless, starts the car perfectly, but I try to avoid staying with consumers and engine turned off for more than 5 mins.
The J hooked disks are Reyland's own. I tought they will fit my AP Racing bells as a cheaper alternative. I have checked offset, pcd, etc. but I forgot to check the mounting holes. My original kit and bells have 11 holes and Reyland had 12. I realized that only when we were trying to install then. :fighting:
I ordered new custom bells from Reyland and I got to use them for less then 1000km and 20 hard laps before they cracked, even tough I have big brake cooling ducts. So now I've ordered discs from AP.
