well i left essex at 8 this morning and got to R-tech for 11:30 (i was booked in for 12) Great guys there! done a health check on my car and found my PCV valve was shot so they fitted a new one for me then the fun began!
iv never had a car mapped before so was good to see what want on, my car managed 303.8bhp which i was more then happy with and my car sounded awesome on the rollers with the milltek exhaust!
after we had finished and i was on my way home it started pissing it down so couldn't see the cars full potential ( looking forward to a dry day)
also on my way home my friend wanted to go look at a GTI he had seen on auto trader and as it was on my way home we went and took a look, good thing he had cash on him and he ended up buying it there and then :happy2:
so its been a very productive day and i would recommend R-tech for anyone looking into remapping there car
-
Nice one mate :happy2:
-
Sounds like a good day for both of you. I've always been tempted to get my car onto rollers. Do you have a link of the GTI he got? I'm looking on Autotrader for one myself at the moment.

Get Martin,thought yr stg2+ now!!what you gettin done at rtech?
-
^^^^ Only Stage 2 now Danny, having a THS FMIC fitted next month (more than likely a LOBA HPFP too) and back to R-Tech the next day to have those mods mapped in.
Niki couldn't really give me the full Stage 2 map as my OEM clutch couldn't cope so I needed to upgrade that too, always something! :laugh:

-
^^^^ Will try and get down to JKM when they do their next Dyno Day. August is doable for Santa Pod (work dependant). I'll PM you nearer the time and see what your up to.
:happy2:

Well after a hard drive tonight i have found i have a slipping clutch....bad times
-
^^^^ It'll only get worse now I'm afraid. Mine was slipping while on the rollers at R-Tech (Stage 2 though) so I knew my goose was cooked then.
Your best bet may be to contact Alex at AKS and see if he's still doing his Group Buy on the Helix clutch set up. Just under £1k fitted for a Helix clutch, new DMF and whatever else parts are needed (I wasn't paying attention) for fitting and labour. Its has a great pedal feel, only slightly heavier than stock and it inspires so much more confidence.
-
I think i need to get my eddy booked in for a stage 1 with them! :laugh:

I would expect a stage 2 to slip but not a stage 1 :-(
Its slipping in 4th 5th and 6th under load from about 3000rpm to 4000rpm
I will message alex and the clutch but will.be fitting it myself :happy2:
-
^^^^ Happens on some Stage 1 cars but also it doesn't on some stage 2+ cars, go figure. :sad1:
-
Hope my Edition 30 pulls out some of those increases when I go down next month!

So many factors to a slipping clutch, new car low miles never issue. 50k+ on a stock clutch with lots of stop start traffic could see a clutch slip at stage 1 straight away. A car with 80K of constant motorway driving could have a clutch to clamp stage2+. It's when the DSG boys post up with there clutch packs slipping...... Then i know I am tuning right!! Lol
Glad your happy dude, I am sure Akex AKS will sort you a clutch deal out.
