SteveP's New Toy

[JPC]

Only just seen this pic. That rear end looks so much better than the R

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Right wots going on here people having a go at my J Hook Discs        - they took me for ever with a hammer and chisel Robin 

Its actually very simple - the 286 disc is the smallest disc we've had to program and the J's are physically the smallest ones that have had to have been machined, with the cutter repositioning every 20th of a mm then they have a condensed size in which to appear smooth.

The other point to to mention is that they are supposed to be staggered as one scavenges and one vents and with a limited amount of room (diameter and swept area) it took some careful planning

A 1000 miles wear and some pad material in there will see them looking great with the edges being a little less defined.

Besides its about performance - other users reporting non empirical improved stopping especially in the wet for some reason (Im still getting my head around that one) and good road manners as evidently they are quieter with no swooshing over the straight grooves

Offer still stands Steve - stood here dutifully with a paint brush if you decide on a less Teflon like colour  

Cars looking great Steve

^^^ I will pass on your concerns to the engineering shop Dave uses to machine the discs 

Full now!

[RedRobin]

^^^^
- Cheers, it's good to have the discussion and for readers to learn the why's and wherefore's.

Thanks Dave. 

I do appreciate the offer but I am suffering from a lack of time and desire to go for attempt four, hammerite here I come

I think the R bumper looks good, loses the red reflectors Is it seperable from the difuser?

[Rich]

Your car really does great Steve! 

Love the subtle mods

[RedRobin]

.
SteveP's has gotta be currently the best Mk6 GTI in the UK! Very tastefully modded.

[SteveP]

^^^ I doubt your say that now with my next mod (knowing what you normally think of the red grill strip colour changes)

Refreshed up the front with the lower splitter painted to match the rest of the grey plastics



And the grill strips done to match the brakes





Also picked up some temp wheels while I wait for my new ones: -

....^^^^ Which indeed it does - Very well indeed. Imo makes much more sense of the orange caliper colour and to my surprise the silver bodywork with orange highlights look very smart.

 

[Janner_Sy]

are you running stage 2 yet then steve?

[SteveP]

Yep, have been on the development version of stage 2 for a few months, was updated about three weeks ago as well 

[monte]

Steve, those Turini's look great    and the colour coded grill stripes 

[john_o]

did you get the hose colour coded too 
looks great and the wheels are a surprisingly good match too

[SteveP]

I am really surprised by the wheels too, they are a stop gap as the offset combined with the 235's on the rears won't work too well with the next mod I ordered today
