^ £40ish more expensive at Awesome than at Balance Motorsport!

Awesome are a joke.. There pricing is usually 15% more than anywhere else!

I was almost tempted to hit the "report to moderator" link to have the Awesome price removed from the thread, it offended my eyes so much.

Awesome tax...

Called them up for a price on an APR stage 3 kit.. Rated at 385bhp  (yes thats only 15hp more than a fully modified K04) and they said it was £5350 + VAT + Fitting.. Nice!

I felt like putting the phone down..

Would that be the kit they have fitted to their grey car?

Ahh, the same car the lower powered (and much cheaper) Regal RSS 350 showed a clean pair of pipes at Inters?

Great value for money...

Yes but wasn't the Regal GTI driven by a proper competition driver?

I'm not saying that the car was slow but the Awesome GTI has stuff like those heavy (and ridiculous imo) swing doors.

Back on topic................

Today I checked to see if my GTI has Launch Control - It doesn't!! But the relevance is that before the ECU slapped me and said "Oh no you don't!!" I had absolutely zero juddering or hopping around, so the WALK's and suspension and Quaife are really doing an excellent job. I had a VW mechanic with me.

Regardless of weight and driver - it's £2378 more expensive!... i.e. Awesome tax. But even the RSS kit in turn is dearer than Jonny's car which is producing the same power...

Anyhoo, good to hear you've got everything hooked up on the front end now - even if you don't have LC (yet).

Swapped my OEM front wishbone bushes for the poly ones yesterday. After 28k (8k with the WALK kit) and 2 trackdays/4 days at The 'Ring they were in A1 condition.

I don't think anyone with the OEM bushes and a WALK currently fitted has anything to worry about, I think you'll get average wear rates. The only reason to upgrade is the feel, as it's a little tighter, as you'd expect, and turn in is improved further still.

If you're still to do the mod however, go fully poly. You'll need the WALK and Powerflex front wishbone bushes, part number PFF85-501 £21.91inc VAT.

If anyone tries telling you that you need to buy the whole wishbone kit (i.e. 4 bushes) then they either don't know any better or they're telling you porkies... you don't.

That's really good to know  :happy2: :smiley: :happy2:

So with just a pair of the front poly bushes which VWR fitted, I now know I'm getting an enhanced WALK although I haven't been able to compare without them.
