Just with the self adhesive strip on the back... it shows not signs of wanting to fall off after 14k miles!

Will it be a home spun map or a known make ?

Yeah it will be an R-tech map, they've done quite a few Edition 30s. Whilst I'm sure that REVO are very good and certainly are the lions share on here, in my opinion they are way over priced at nearly 600 quid!

Exactly the same reason I went with P-Torque (and the fact that I had already had 2 of Will's maps on my old mk4 Ibiza) at half the price with before and after dyno results  :happy2:

Ok... so within the space of a few months!

Brakes start to make cracking noise... sounds crap... its not right... they shouldnt make that noise!  :sad1:

Rear ARB drop links... sound like shi*te... every speed  bump make me sick to the core!   :sad1:

Went out to wash my car and i've notice that the Powder Coat on the calipers is cracking, they've only been on 4 friking months! Didnt even bother washing it... cant be arsed!  :sad1:



Really not good. Im thinking of getting the 312mm put back on because I had ZERO problems with them!  :sad1:

Or sell them to a fellow Doncastarian for £13.  :chicken:

Seriously though. You have a fantastic example of a car and I wouldn't let small bits and bobs get in the way of you enjoying it.

Ps. My rear caliper literally flaked off about 3/4 of it's red paint the other day!!  :fighting: :fighting:
