To be honest I've lost interest in it ATM, not getting chance to work on it but once I get back into it I'd imagine I'll get the incentive.

Brake vibration is 99% of the time attributed to pad deposits building up, only takes the tiniest amount to make itself felt on a proper caliper setup. To warp a disc takes a phenomenal amount of heat/abuse.

DS2500s for example are well known for causing this problem.

Not trying to **** on your plans, just with that amount of power and those Audi brakes having form for being woefully inadiquate, don't flog the others too soon.

Contact DaveB, he deals with ProjectMu/Endless stuff.
Sideways yo!

They were the pads I was running, I just thought I'd try these audi ones as they were a cheap fix.

Hi thanks for the comments. As for the interior I'm hoping to take it all out bar the dash and have a 6 point cage with 2 pole positions in it but that will be next spring

Thanks. I've slowly found a love for it again now so I'm hoping that next spring I'll have a something to show for my work.

Excellent build so far. I really like the work that has gone into this.

There should be some interesting competition out there next year and I'd love to see this in the thick of the 1/4 mile action. :happy2:

Yeah my first move into modification was a bit of a waste really. Now I've started to build a real gti now.
