vRSAlex's Octavia vRS Estate - New Mods On

[vRSAlex]

What was wrong with the R8 calipers, Alex?

Nothing.  They are up for sale now.   I always like to run products I sell and the vRS keeps telling me it wants to go floating.

Cant go floating with the R8's due to the bar that is mounted to them.

Ah, product development 

[gazbutS3]

They are 370mm brembo discs on fully floating bells.  The calipers are Brembo GT Senior 4 pots which have the same piston sizes as the TTRS calipers.  Full kit will retail at £1495.  Ready in approx 4 weeks.

Sure u'll get plenty takers for them pal, one would have been me if I hadn't sorted the brakes recently.  Pads extra?

[vRSAlex]

Pads included.  Same compound as textar porsche pads iirc.

Very nice 
Would those discs work as replacements to standard TTRS discs with TTRS calipers?

I love my R8 set up that Alex did for me last year...... brilliant, not aggresive unless you slam on hard glad i went for them instead of the VWR set up.

No, but I do another kit with 362mm floating discs and new brackets that work as replacements.  PM me.

wander if R8s would fit on mine....

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

They're looking mighty fine Alex...Straight of a Ferrari F40 those calipers, Pagids got that pad in every colour too so should be easy to find a good match to people's requirements...

They're also the pukka brembo Motorsport discs and not the crap cast stuff they put in the GT kits...

I've got competition!!!!!

Hope you sell every one mate, going to be epic might be an idea to offer the MC upgrade as well at the price you're selling it at still going to be mega under the budget of say a VWR kit but better quality and perform way better.

Intake kit change.  Was running the ITG that I copied but ceramic coated.

Before:



New Revo kit:



Fitted:





Overall its improved low down and mid range power.  Holds boost for longer.  Peak maf before and after is identical to the old kit at 275 g/s but peaks higher throughout the rest of the rev range.

Looks and fits great too and to show a gain against the other best kit on the market is good news to me.

Hi Alex

Are those S8 D2 calipers?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

S8 D2 Caliper is a porsche derived Caliper from a 1980s 928.....

These are off an F40 I think
