vRSAlex's Octavia vRS Estate - New Mods On

[vRSAlex]

How well does vinyl cope with caliper heat?

No discolouration or issues yet.  Ive used vinyl on calipers for quite a few years now with no problems.

Have you got braided hoses on the r32 fronts? And if not do you want some?

Ta for the offer.  I currently have standard hoses and im not planning on going braided just yet.  Maybe in the future if the brakes dont get changed for a 6 pot setup

No probs alex... let me know if you hear of anyone after a set!

As we had our new alignment ramp installed on friday I gave the car a check and added some camber to the front.  The back was perfect from the last setup i did, but I could feel the front was out a touch.  While it was up in the air I adjusted the rear roll bar to the siffest setting.  Its made a noticable difference and the car feels more neutral and less prone to understeer.  We also bought some corner weights, but ive not had a chance to get the car on them yet.



Thought i would share a pic of the two cars that we are running this year in Britcar.  Full GT3 spec cars.

Those cars are even better in the flesh.

Alex did you see my email about getting my book stamped tomorrow?

I'll have a chat about alignment as well as I may be having my bushes completely changed.

[Janner_Sy]

whats happening with this then any more progress?

[rich83]

Alex... 26th April i need to come and see you to get my rear ARB sorted out. Will you be able to fit me in? I wont have chance to ring you this week so sorry for cluttering your thread!

I wouldnt mind a nosey at those lambos too! 

[h4rdy]

Those Lambos are sweet as!

You got that Hybrid fitted yet?

[rich83]

Any updates? 

[h4rdy]

Yes any updates and where did you get the Forge catchtank as I couldn't see it on their website?

 

[h4rdy]

Found it under the S3 page.

[h4rdy]

Any updates Alex?

I'm interested in this hybrid turbo.

[vRSAlex]

Some news.  I've booked off two days in August to spend at work going the turbo and rods.  As I'm honing the bores and fitting new rings its going to take a week of running in to finally know what the hybrid is like.  After having the turbo for so long I am fooking excited to get it fitted.

Love Octavias, bet she suprises alot of people.

Will be making an apointment for alignment  

Hopefully on my summer leave (between 1st Aug & 8th) but I might be over stretching my budget on mods this month (Dont tell the wife!)

Hopefully this doesnt have to wait untill sept / oct.  Have a suspension / Geometry mod on order too
