@ Beddie, you still usin the 1144's, i struggled to get on with them and they didn't look to great after 60 laps of Anglesey, lookin for somethin else to try
Yeah still using them gaz, i seem to get on with them ok tbh but haven't as yet done any trackdays with them, done 2 trips to the 'Ring with them and i don't hang about so got them pretty toasty and they coped great, saying that the ring if done correctly isn't too bad on brakes as the recovery time between serious braking is quite long compared to a trackday

HOw are you getting on with he R32 brake conversion.  Few questions for you.  what diameter/thickness are the discs, how many pistons do the calipers have, and what is the pad availability like on these?

Whats you r planned list of modifications then?

 :grin: lol, we were all wrong lol.  i meant mk4 though.  Are the mk1 S3 brakes identical then?  Mifght have to look into pad availability to see if theres some good compounds available

Ill prob end up with the brembo 4 pots. loads on ebay available for less than £450 if you barter.  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-323mm-MK4-GOLF-TT-S3-BREMBO-CALIPERS-/270694124347?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f06a08b3b#ht_1029wt_698 plus they will match the rear calipers then

when was you car built blade.  

REVO and anothe rtuner have both told me that my Fabia will not be able to be remapped via the OBD port or by removing the ECU and piggybacking it.

Here some info ive got from one of the tuners, which match what REVO said

Hi Sy,

2011 180hp 1.4TSI cannot be flashed at all for now. It has Bosch's newest tuning protection active, which prevents flash readout even using the bootup method.

Tool manufacturers are just about to finish and release 1.2TSI and 1.6TDI VAG protocols (a couple of weeks), and after that they will start working on the new protection. I hope it wont be too many months before its finished.

-Mikko

edit: Just to be clear, key word being 2011 there, new tuning protection for VAG was released early December 2010, so all cars manufactured after that have it as standard, and cannot be tuned yet.

So looks like VAG have changed their encryption now to stop the tuners bypassing it.  It took them a few moonths to get around the first encrypted ECUs when they were introduced in early 2010 cars so hopefully this wont take to long to get aroundeither

.
Why are VAG so keen to stop aftermarket tuning? If it's known that an engine is tuneable doesn't it potentially sell more cars?

not when they should buy the flag ship model instead.  Buy a GTI for 20k add £500 remap and have R32/ed30 performance.  Would cost you alot more to buy the R32.  Same with the diesel guys, why pay extra for a CR170, when a CR140 will hit nearly 190hp with a £350 remap.

Had i known this i wouldnt have ordered the car. ive got it because  it was light, tunable and a good little base to do track days and modifying from.  I dont doubt they will break the encryption in time though.  But until then chassis and brakes it is. At least it removes the choice from me lol
