Well I've been very busy with work and looking after the kids since the last time I posted. Oh and enjoying driving my car! When I first got my car back post remap. I was happy with the he gains but going on past mapping experiences, I was expecting a bit more dram. The more I've driven the car however the more I appreciate the power delivery and drivability. Considering I'm still on the standard suspension
it all works togeather very well. If a little scruffy on the limits. I had a tussle with a V10 M5 last night on the way home. Thoses things are fast in a straight line. But he was slowing me down in the twisty bits. The big brakes helping for sure.
On the brake front. I'm loving them still and have got used to how violently they can slow you down. One issue I have been having though is the brake balance. Mainly due to the tiny little rear solid discs. So I've tracked down a set of 8P S3 rear brakes. I'll need new discs and pads but they should help sort things out.
I've also bought a K04 turbo and WMI kit to be fitted at some point in the New Year.
I'm also booked into AKS for H&R coilovers, front and rear ARB's front ALK and the Polfis at the end of the month. I'm then going to try and stop spend and enjoy the driving! As far as K04 figures I'd think around 380 HBO and 400 lbft of torque. I have a set of S3 injections but Niki doesn't think I'll need them.
