Right, just had a call from Milltek, my exhaust has been dispatched today, so I will be getting it on tomorrow and giving a full report on it tomorrow

should look nice as greenhouse has these and its a good stance  :happy2:

most people go for these or H&R because they are lower personally i m going KW to be different, the prokit does fit our cars aswell but i think its a very tiny drop and they are more money!   :stupid:


sportlines actually make the car a few mm lower than the H&R s , the quoted drops are for lesser models not the gti which is already 15 mm lower than them :happy2:

Not sure I agree Ian as SteveP's looks a fair bit lower than mine............... :chicken:

Is that when he's in it :smiley:

No comment  :innocent:

Looks just right, I wouldn't wanna go any lower than that Oli :wink: What's the ride like now?

Really pleased with the ride, not crashly at all, in fact just very slightly firmer than standard, and it seems to be getting better.

Just need to get the sh1te continental tyres changed, but at only 4000 miles, that could take some time

Indeed, no point wasting them at like 4k.
What are they - Not contisports?

Thought all continentals were reasonable tbh? I had the basic premium I's on my old Clio and they were bullet proof for the price imo.
I'm glad you said the rides not too bad. I'm really paranoid about upgrading to 18"s with aftermarket suspension and making it like a rockclimb.

Contisports, and a load of tosh - I've always found them too hard and noisey.  They are like new, so they might be coming up for sale shortly, as Ive just never got on with them

Right Milltek on, and the usual quality fit as always. 

What a diffeerence it makes, so much more responsive, and the mid range is stronger.  Oh and the noise from the intake and exhaust is subtle but nice - if that makes sense.

No photos yet as Im off down the pub, but they will follow

Random, but did you RR before then after to find out what it actually adds hp wise with the mid range increase? Be interesting to know as I'm coming round to the idea of Milltek.

Cheers.

I VAGCOM'd it at 312BHP before, and I will do the same after, when I get a chance, but really no need, as it has made a hell of a difference

Even on my standard ed30, the milltek Cat back made mine feel more responsive. Cant wait to see what she'll do after the Map and Spts Cat.

UPDATE

After its valet earlier this week, I thought I'd get some pictures up, to show its present state.















Since the pictures were taken, I've also added the black front badge and rear blinds.  I am also getting the front and rear lower spoliers wrapped next week in matt black - pics to follow.  I was at one point, thinking of getting the wheels painted like the BBS CH black editions however I have decided against this as I like the car just the way it looks, and to the untrained eye look like a standard edition 30, which makes it a real sleeper!

ta muchly for looking

PS. Off to SRR to see what its putting out soon - Hoping for between 320-330BHP

I have no intentions of doing anything else like fuel pump, she performs great for me, and seems faster than my old RS4, which is a bonus.

Do you not find that you get flat spots in the mid range where the fuelling is insufficient with the stage 2 map?

I have huge voids where the stock fuel pump just can't keep up with the rest of the game.
