Been doing a bit of work to the Blue Bullet and broke my Disc & Pad changing virginity :grin:
Yesterday with the generous help of our very own Mr Fuller :notworthy: :congrats: :notworthy: the following was done.
New Rear OEM Discs and pads

Full set of VF Engine mounts. Which in the words of someone else make the car sound "like a 6 Pot" :laugh: Only took pics after installation so can only see the engine mount :sad1:

A huge thanks to Stu as now, after his expert tutelage, I can change brake pads, discs and engine mounts (which I wasn't confident doing as I'd never done it before) :happy2:
Oh and I Mustn't forget Hedge. Without his "Supervisory" skills we would have been in a right kerfuddle :booty: :laugh:
-
I was only there for food. Had I known you were dismantling your car I would have turned up earlier with a freshly sharpened wit and a big hammer. :grin:
-
I think the hammer we had was just fine. Although my right boot did a better job on the front drivers side caliper :signLOL:
-
the hammer AKA the Persuader. Only a k04 or LSD left for you know then carl. Youhave pretty much everything else on there
-
No need for an LSD I don't push the car that hard to be honest so have never found myself wanting grip (well except in the snow :laugh:)
K04 is for the people who take the path of least resistance. I'm taking the hard route and chasing the Seat Leon K03 Supercar :signLOL:

Seems the blunt tool won over the surgical precision of the hammer. :P :xmassmiley:

some results from VAGOC
Paolo (jungleman) - S3 stage 1- Evolve Stg 1, Milltek Cat Back, Evoms - 345 bhp & 338 lb/ft
JamesS3 - S3 - stage 2 (ITG & MT TBE & Revo) - 377.4bhp and 355.8lb/ft
gixxer990 - S3 - Stg 2+ Revo, MT TBE, Evoms,Forge DV, Autotech, RS4 FPR - 394.6bhp and 359.5lb/ft
they latest efforts at a RR day say otherwise. lets be fair all 3 cars are making around 40hp more than normal.
So carl, you should be over the 300hp region easily and into the seat k03 supercar territory

Shoulda gone to Superchips :driver:

Any vids/audio Carl? I'd be interested to see how they've influenced the sound on the VRS :happy2:
-
It's the noise in the car mate and I don't think an audio/video clip would do it justice.
I'll see if I can make a clip for you but it would be better if you were in the car.

I might just do that next time :wink:
