How many miles have you done on the engine with that power and what mileage was it before? Currently doing a hybrid k03 build on my AXX and trying to get a feel for how long it might last 

Done probably 10-12k at this power mate. And thats constant abuse, engine miles is 105k now mate, still sound. No point doing a k03 hybrid mate just get a k04 lol.

Delightful!

It's not to my taste for a road car, but for a purpose-built track car, it's completely to my taste!

What's your daily driver then?

Yeah it's horrible on the road, way too stiff.

Ha my daily driver is the most impractical daily driver ever:








E39 530D

Well if i was to start again then i woukd K04 (probably CDL conversion) but it was supposed to be a cheap option. I blew my downpipe off and killed the turbo so was going to put a 3" DP and hybrid k03 on then map it to about 300/300  so its easy power but have ended up doing near enough every upgrade possible exept the the k04 lol. Just one of those things i guess, at least its different though

I wasn't meaning to piss on your bonfire btw lol!! That will be cool and 300bhp is fast in these man. You'll pull way more than 300lb-ft bud, my K03 with downpipe decat and filter made 335lb-ft lol!!

Hahahahaha dont worry i'm not that sensetive lol, i was going to keep the power down so i didnt have to replace the clutch/ HPFP and injectors but i ended up doing them all and more anyways  but had already bought the turbo and its good for 340-350bhp and 375lb/f+ supposedly anyways so now im looking to push it but interested to see how people are getting on with pushing the AXX lumps. Its always a gamble but good to get a feel for what others have done with them.

Does anyone else run Forge 356mm 6 pots on the front of their mk5? I need new rotors and forge will only supply with bells too which i dont need. Need to speak to Reyland i think, has anyone got any experience with this? Cheers

Pics of said brakes:



And one from the ring i forgot to upload

@Mk5chris how do you find the Forge brakes btw? Im thinking about switching to them for clearance and 2 piece discs but ive heard some rave reviews and some people say they're sh*t. But theres a lot of Forge haters out there so would be interested to see how a car that gets driven properly got on with them.

Anyone that says they're sh*t most likely haven't experienced them. I run Pagid RS29 pads and race fluid in mine which helps obviously. You can literally brake so late with them. At silverstone this year, on the back straight when people were braking, I was still accelerating, you can just leave it so late when they're hot. The 356mm and 6 pots are a great set up, and i just run standard rear set up with Pagid RS29's again and braided lines. Ideal really. Yeah you could get Tarox or AP's but just seems overkill lol and £££££. Even though these aren't cheap lol.

Thanks very much mate, yeah i was suprised to read it considering the usual qaulity of the Forge products. Does it not get a bit floaty with the standard rears then? Especially with all the weight taken out, i did Silverstone last year with the rear bench out and TTRS front brakes and found the rear got very squirmy braking from 100ish+. That is with std pads/ discs/ hoses though tbf.
