Hurdy, what pads do u use on your tarox brakes ? Also, does this car need a water rad upgrade ?

Corsa Pads

The car would need a radiator upgrade if the Intercooler was large enough to be covering it's flow first :wink:

Pace Intercooler and Radiator should be with me early in the new year. They are making a set for me based on the VRs having the same radiator and intercooler part numbers, The set will be sent up for test fitting to see if it is okay. If not then pics of the differences will be sent off for him to make up another set to fit.

Pace has proven in the past that just an Intercooler can make 5% on an OEM set-up, so on my car that would be a recoup of 12bhp through decreased charge temps. 8)

Very interesting John, i did wonder what you had bought now. looks very good. theres one mod if you call it that and thats the front plate are you going to chop it down or put a border round it as plain it makes it appear bigger than it is. its the only thing that i kept being drawn to thru the 32 pages lol.

I'd like to remove it completely and adapt a larger front mesh for cooling and then I can have a smaller reg plate that is removable. A way off at the moment, but I'll get there :happy2:

Plug and play appeals if they are as good as they promote themselves to be. Don't forget it also means you would have an OEM spare.  :wink:

You could probably buy a oem turbo with the money you save bygoing to turbo dynamics.
