Post by: Rob GTI on December 11, 2010, 10:56:46 pm: Nice one, what made you plump for AMD map over the REVO they also offer and would have thought you might have gone with a local tuner.

Although I can't talk I went to JKM in Portsmouth for my map :rolleye:

AmD + Milltek will be a great package and extremely well supported. Saun @ AmD and Mr Milltek are great buddies and have a BTCC race team in the only GTI. Saun is an exceptionally nice guy.

Went to JKM after a load of research on here and other forums and found they had a really good rep which in turn turned out to be true, I had work in the area also so that covered the petrol :smiley:

Post by: Becca88 on December 17, 2010, 10:26:52 am: That's lucky you didnt have to pay fuel. I filled my car up last night ready to go to AMD ... and guess what, I may not be able to go ... DAMN SNOW!!!!!! :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:
Keeping fingers crossed it thaws by this afternoon

Post by: Becca88 on December 19, 2010, 10:37:19 am: Eddy is now remapped :-D 307bhp! managed to get there and back after a 6 hour journey each way, got to love that M25!
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: TrickGTI on December 19, 2010, 11:01:20 am: was it worth the long journey??? i rekon so with that figure i bet its a different car.... :driver:
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: damoegan on December 19, 2010, 11:23:51 am: Any plans for a clutch, Becca?

The Eddie's clutch strugle on even a stage 1 map :sad1:
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Becca88 on December 19, 2010, 11:50:08 am: Well worth the journey, although i havent had a proper play yet cos of the weather conditions :-( No plans for a clutch yet, there was a brand new clutch fitted under warranty a year ago, should be fine for a bit ... i hope.
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Rob GTI on December 19, 2010, 01:20:32 pm: Apparantly it using the torque in 5th and 6th on motorways instead of dropping gears is whats kills clutches. I have had mine mapped for over a year now and had no clutch issues, touch wood.
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Becca88 on December 22, 2010, 06:21:50 pm: Touch LOTS of wood it will be fine. Miltek arrived today, also collected my bumper and engine cover - all painted and ready to go! With a bit of luck these will be fitted 1st thing tomorrow morning! yippeeeee!

Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Becca88 on January 04, 2011, 03:14:47 pm: I rekon VW should have given Eddys a better bottom than what they did :stupid:

The engine cover cost £40 which is quite expensive because when i pulled it off it cracked :ashamed: so the guy that painted had to plastic weld a few times to make sure it doesnt crack now its back on the car

:smiley:

Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Becca88 on January 07, 2011, 07:37:43 am: Thank you!
I priced up another engine cover, it was around 50bucks as VW dont supply just the centre which ive painted youd have to buy the complete cover ... Ouch!
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Gti_Mad on January 07, 2011, 08:35:19 am: Wow really wel hopefully my mate at Vw will b able 2 sort me out with a decent price...... So Wot else u got planned for Ur beauty then becca ???
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Becca88 on January 07, 2011, 09:08:30 am: The price i had was cost price cos i work 4 a vw/audi group. At the moment im happy with remap and r32 rear but i keep getting told that modification is a very slipery road so who knows. Whatch this space lol
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: Fastmonkey on January 08, 2011, 06:59:51 am: That engine cover looks excellent, good work :happy2:
Title: Re: Becca's Edition 30
Post by: big al on January 14, 2011, 11:40:55 am: Looking very nice.
I just got rid of my Milltek R32 rear, do you find the backbox hangs down lower than the bumper on your s or is it the shallower box?
Also, keep an eye out on ebay for covers, as have seen a few used but not damaged for about £30/40.
