Title: BCS Automotive R400 Gti MK 5 in Black
Post by: Powervalve Nige on July 24, 2011, 08:53:35 pm: Hey guys.
Thought we'd show off the first images of the BCS R400 - tried these TTRS wheels on it - but leaning towards Pesccis in Gunmetal - any thoughts

:evilgrin:

Yeah - that's kind of where i'm at with it Mike - although the TTRS wheels do make it look like some sort of extreme or limited edition imho.
:wink:

Go with some lightweight alloys, they make all the difference to the feel of the steering :happy2:

Big Turbo kit? which one?

Are you still on stock front brakes as I can't see from the pic?

Post by: Richn83 on July 25, 2011, 08:19:39 pm: I think they give it the look of the pirelli with the 5 spoke design. Would be good for showing off some BBK porn! :evilgrin:

Post by: Powervalve Nige on July 26, 2011, 08:44:55 am: Hey Hurdy
Thanks for the nice comments - the sun was just going down on Saturday evening - so the light was fantastic.
At the moment we have the stock brakes fitted - we will be installing our BCS 4 pot conversion along with our fully adjustable coil overs in the next few weeks.
The big turbo kit (TD05) will take the car to over 400bhp along with the other non internal mods that we will be installing, so will keep everyone up to speed on this.
Details are on our web site here...

I'd love a big turbo one day :Grin:

Post by: Powervalve Nige on July 27, 2011, 09:00:35 pm: Hey Joe
interesting wheel choice.
Can do the coil overs as a member for 995.00 bud - 24 way adjustable, with rake and camber adjustment for the perfect track set up :happy2:

· 24 levels of damping adjustability – You control the setting
· 44mm linear internal piston
· Mono tube shock design
· Italian IP F.A 5W manufactured, extreme viscosity index damping oil, guaranteeing efficient shock absorbing action at any ambient temperature
· Lower bracket height adjustability prevents the need to adjust the spring perch, and thus offering the maximum shock absorber travel and an SAE9254 cold formed spring designed to optimise the balance between performance and comfort.
