What performance mods are left to do?
« on: July 21, 2011, 10:24:08 pm »
Hi guys, I always wated to do the performance mods before moving onto highline/mfsw/rns 510 or carbon mirrors etc.

What am I now missing in terms of performance mods as have -

Revo Stg 2+ with cai, downpipe, hpfp, s3 intercooler, rs4 valve, rev d DV   (not looking to go hybrid k04 - stg 2+ is enough!)

Dave B NQSBBK with uprated pads

Forge quickshifter, sachs clutch, wavetrac diff, ths side mounts with ecs dogbone insert

b12 on order, walk, tt wishbones and eibach f&r arbs.

The only thing I can think of to add is S3 or TTRS rear brakes or preventative mod a forge catchcan. Not looking to add a twintercooler as think the s3 one does the job for me.  I know Hurdy recommends not fitting the Forge actuator.

Let me know if you think i have missed owt to put on my wish list!

Thanks.

As TT arms, B12 and WALK are already to come next there will be still left:

- tyres (R-S2, R1-R, AD08, KU36, PSS)
- some weight saving (carbon hood, Pole Position seats)
- OEM undertray mods

I'd go for Whiteline bars as their front bar is just 24 mm providing better
traction for your highly modded engine.  :wink:

cheers bruce, have already discussed many tyres with you. re weight saving, yes will get a lighter battery but not sure about going down carbon bonnet route. what do you mean by oem undertray mods?

Well, i'm one of those i must say, but i'm ready to try one, and form an opinion after that, until then i think it's as unnessecary as the Neuspeed pulled kit, that i have fitted on mine  :happy2:
