Weighed my old wishbone and control arm 4.7 kg,ill try and get hold of the superpro version ive got on to weigh the differences ;)
Received my Hpa dogbone mount today and thinking of going for the tyrolsport subframe kit,just waiting of a few reviews from other members etc
cars booked into Aks tuning on the 20th november for inlet removed and de-coked,RFD fitted,while off the fitting of my Aks methanol plate,having a new Peron fmic as my early 1 was wrong,(not as efficient and wrong core)new TTRS lpfp fitting and new fuel filter,the rest of the carbon can bits removed and finished off with a new geo set up after recent hub change

Hpa mount and tyrol deadset kit ready to go on
finally got myself an audi R8 oil cap to get rid of the filler neck
lastly finished of wrapping the last of the induction pipe with the bits of exhaust wrap i had left over(doesnt look pretty but its more for performance based)
taped around the Maf housing aswell

Was working in my bay today and seeing your engine has made me realise my engine needs a bloody good clean.
Your intake looks like its in a plaster cast now :smiley:

Firstly a big thank you to Alex for his time and effort getting all this work done in 1 go :)
after a long day at Aks Tuning in bedford on friday the work was finished about 10 pm lol
we had a plan to do the work with me taking down my tyrol deadset kit and Hpa mount to fit if we have time,Alex spoke to me first thing and thought he'd be better off to fit the kit and mount first as it'll need a new alignment doing so he cracked on with that,back from the alignment back to normal after my other hub changes etc
now point and power with the steering again,nice and light,shifts seem and bit 'tighter' also after,the Hpa mount id admit a bit more cabin vibration but hopefully it'll settle in time
Onto the strip down for the Peron fmic change,everything went to plan to be fair,maybe a bit easier for Alex as he was removing the inlet for cleaning anyway
Now onto the Rfd delete and stems cleaned,these are at 47k miles,added new injectors seals also
finished
Methanol plate fitted
lastly the Ttrs lpfp fitted and vcds checked and all is well again ;)
Loving how the car now feels,the throttle is very responsive and was like driving it for the first time trying to get the pedal right lol
the only thing i was expecting was a nice burble and popping when letting off the accelerator which the rfd delete usually gives,wasnt happening on mine :( maybe it wasnt in the revo map as theyve not had a map for the rfd cold start issues like i had on the cupra's Apr map,the cupra sounded awesome
