i live 300 miles away  :chicken: no fair

You could always crash at mine...Only an hour and a bit from Awesome.. :signLOL:

Sounds like a mini meet at Awesome, althought many shiny things in there that keep calling me.  Must stay away from the place.  :grin:

Been chatting to the guys at RK Engineering (my local tuning guru's) and they were approached by APR via letter offering them to become an agent a while back apparently, after a little smooth talking by me they're gunna dig the letter out and look at the deal again.  They already do custom code but as they had no one at the time even considering an APR map they didn't bother as it would cost them £1000 for the privalidge  :confused:

they're just as bad as going to awesome though, each time i go to RK they almost convince me to supercharge  :grin: but they know i want a cruiser rather than an autobahn stormer so the pressures not too high...still spend more than i intend to most times  :rolleye:

Picked it up yesterday, lost for words!  Dont know when I'm going to stop smirking!  :driver: 

Got: KW V3's - Not a bad ride even on my local shockingly bad rds.  No Roll anymore! :D
       
        Neuspeed arb's - Set to soft / medium.  Having these at same time as coilies cant really comment on how much difference they made made.  Handling is stunning now though!!!

       Torque arm insert - Less engine rock by the feel of it.  Alot tighter & firmer.

       APR FMIC - Huuuuuuuuuge, would look well impresive if you could see it lol.  Think it's slightly more laggy with it, could be in my head?

      APR HPFP - The cam follower needed doing too.  Didnt see how bad it was, might see if theyve still got it and send me a picture.

    APR Fully loaded ecu - All the programs.  98map, stock map, anti theft, valet, throttle body alignment, fault code clear.

    Dbilas inlet - All im gonna say is darth Vader :driver:

   What a beast! Well impresive. Just feels quicker and quicker every time i drive it. 

Massive massive thanks to andy and the team at awesome gti, they worked flat out and had 3 techs on it at one point!  Awesome closed at 4 and i couldnt get there till 5.  Andy waited for me so I could pick it up! What a hero.  After showing me how to adjust the maps through my cruise controls I was off.

My car is the Tits! Over the moon with it at the min!

Ooooooh Audi R8 oil cap too :P

I still need to call them  :embarrassed:  From what I have read about them, they are the   experts as far as superchargers are concerned.  Had to hold off from calling them as I know that I wouldn't have been able to resist if they offered a good price on getting the R32 done, but the money would have come from funds earmarked to pay off remaining debt which wouldn't have been sensible.  :ashamed: :chicken:
