Next mod? New tyres :)
« on: May 05, 2010, 10:52:35 am »
Would like some ideasof where I should go next with the car.

Currently:

ITG, APR Cooler, APR HPFP, APR stage 2+, RS4 valve, Forge dv, BSH pcv fix, 3" miltek DP, miltek TBE, sasch clutch disk

KW V3, WALK, neuspeed arbs, BSH engine & transmision mounts, VWR lower mount,

Thinking about waiting and saving for hybrid & jabbasports mapping
or trying giac extreme+ both options with water meth.

Also thinking of trying 888s and trying to get some PR 1.2s (would they be much lighter than the CHs though?)

ideas?

Do your worst haha

Nice nice spec already Mike.  Did you say you were looking at a diff?  Def think the PR 1.2s would be a good idea.

There will be a noticeable difference with the TD's and semi slicks.

Looks like you have already gone pretty much as far as you can with the OEM K04.  So like you say have a look at the hybrid option or perhaps go BT.

Have you thought about going stage 3/4 with APR?  Howabout about a GT3071r and go stage 3 with REVO?

Get a WOTbox fitted, I've been in Owenlcr's car and it's foooooooking amazing.

Also you need a Quaife ATB LSD

Also The new OZ superturismo WRC wheels (7kg for 18's :drool:) alongside TOYO R1R's (best compromise for road and track and don't sound as loud as R888's)

I'd wait on the hybrid K04 to see what Jabbalad's car performs like - you may need REVO stage 3 to get the best from it.

revo stage 3 is for k03 cars converting to k04!!!

Surely the best option would be to let to jabba custom map it as they should have already done their own car by that point.

look at it this way you are already at stage 2+ realistically looking at aout 340-360hp.  so your car is by no means slow in any way shape or form

So until the new hybrid is setup and you have sen the results of the WMI lets take a look at the handling/braking, which lets be fair is probably more important than the power.

your running a lot of power through just the front wheels, ive driven yours and we both know its not hard to get the wheels spinning, and with those new tyres id bet they are even worse lol.

Id say with  your suspension you are sorted, you have one of the top few suspension kits, ARBs and WALK, so your pretty much as far as you can go, so how else could you reduce te wheelspin/gain traction both in the straight line and whilst cornering which  wil ultimately make your car faster.

LSD (better traction off the line and whilst cornering plus reduced understeer)
TT lower control arms(much more cornering grip)
Poly bush the entire car( more steering feel and responsiveness)
R8 rear 4 pot calipers to bolt on straight over your 345mm discs (better brakes is aleays a plus, with a wider choice of performance pads available)

.....

What you really need, Mike, is a JCaps black anodised alu washer bottle cap - I just happen to know where you can get one at much less cost than retail  :wink:

Otherwise I'd say:

- Lighterweight wheels - TD or OZ
- TT wishbones
- Quaife ATB diff
