Rippers 'never' finished black gti build

[Martin_jk]

Thanks Martin, I'm still enjoying the extra power.

Sticky tyres on next on the list.

That's going to be my next purchase too, need 2 new fronts as my car had avons on when I bought it so not the best lol, what you going for mate?

Bridgestone potenzas seem to the best rated so I'll give them a go I reckon.

I was looking at Michelin PS4's haven't seen much on the bridgestones! Let me know how you get on with them mate :)

Wow your motor is clean, the wheels and exhaust look spot on 

I've recently replaced all 4 of my tyres with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 and would recommend them, good (though not jaw dropping) consistent grip in all conditions.

Thanks mate.
I'll check those tires out

I've just got all 4 new PS4. excellent tyres. £90 each on tyre leader swell

Hi Graham

The map was around the £290 - £300 mark from memory. It got lost with all the other upgrades done at the same time ha-ha.

Hi, loving the mods you've done to the car. All done tastefully and make the car look so much better! 

[Rippers]

So a project is never finished huh.

I'm thinking of retro fitting a mk6 steering wheel and gear stick. I'm happy enough to have a go at the gear stick but think the steering wheel may be a bit more than I'm comfortable with, air bags and safety first.

Anyone know of a retro fitters in Essex ??

Thanks for the kind feedback James.

Lovely car. Lots of nice mods there
Those are super power figures from the remap.

I've a stage 1 map on my car but have since fitted a full 3in turbo back exhaust and RamAir induction. I'm waiting a little while till I can afford a Peron Intercooler and them I'm heading back for stage 2 mapping.

I'll be absolutely chuffed if I make close to 275hp

Thanks for the kind comments 

I think the rs4 fuel return valve helped. I'd expect you to get the same results especially with the intercooler. I have heard of cars getting close to 300 bhp but I doubt the engine, clutch would last very long and it would be hard to get the power down without the wheels spinning.

To get much more out the ko3 is an expensive pursuit for not a lot of gains.

You'll love the stage 2. I'm still grinning 

[ducman77]

Brilliant!!
I have an RS4 valve in the garage. I got it off fab5freddy on here
I'll throw that in too before I go for the second map!
Nice one. Cheers

It's supposed to remove any flat spots so worth doing.
