  1. 5x112 19 inch McLaren 570s Forged Super Lightweight alloy wheels and PS4-S tyres (VW Audi VAG SEAT) Rare opportunity to purchase a very rare and unique set of forged McLaren 570s lightweight wheels for your VAG car. They're 4 fronts from the current 570s model and are a direct fit to most current VAG cars. 5x112 19 x 8J ET40.5 57.1 centre bore Exceptionally light at 7.9kg each and Forged so very strong wheels. Unbelieveably a £10k option on the current McLaren 570s!! In excellent condition complete with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres in 225/35/19 all with 6+mm tread. Ultimate set of wheels for your VRS! £1500 collected, can be viewed in Glasgow area. Any questions please ask.
  2. This is the newly released 245 (DLBA engine code) HJS 3" high flow downpipe for the 2017/2018 Octavia VRS 245 and Golf GTI 245 Performance Pack This is the only downpipe that can be fitted to a standard car, or one tuned with a tuning box (JB4 for example) that wont thrrow up an emissions engine management light, it's been specifically designed to meet the strict Euro 6C emissions standard these cars run and has dual high flow, high quality HJS catalysts. Bought in August for 1550 Euros from Germany (invoice included) for my 2018 Octavia VRS 245, it's been removed from my car today having covered just 2500 miles so is as good as new, with warranty remaining and a good saving off the cheapest 1495 Euro (plus shipping) retail price it's availble for online currently. https://www.turboperformance.shop/abgastechnik/downpipes-kats/hjs-downpipes/skoda/octavia/octavia-iii-rs/45621/hjs-downpipe-skoda-octavia-iii-rs-2.0-tfsi-245-ps-oe-76mm-90811160-mit-ece Includes reducer and clamps to fit to standard cat back system. With this downpipe, a JB4 tuning box (Map6) and panel filter my VRS245 made 331bhp & 368 ft/lb at Ecotune in Glasgow, seriously impressive numbers for an otherwise standard car that remains warranty friendly (when removed). £950 posted UK, or welcome to collect around Glasgow.
  3. How you liking the JB4? What settings are you using? You on the newest firmware? (last week) Try these MAP6 settings, this is what I was running prior to fitting the downpipe and the car loved it, great timing advance, great AFR FOL - 60 Fuel - 99ron Boost safety - 25 1500 - 0 2000 - 2 2500 - 2.6 3000 - 3 3500 - 4 4000 - 5 4500 - 6 5000 - 6.5 5500 - 6 6000 - 5.5 6500 - 5 7000 - 5
  4. Got ya. They manufacture the cat, Milltek build the downpipe around it. Should be good, hopefully not too loud though! Be interested to see what you make of it.
  5. Good luck with it, I hope you get what you’re after, it’s a lot of money to spend and if I was doing it again I’d skip the intake and the cat back part of the exhaust. The stock intake is fine with a panel filter replacement and not as loud, as is the standard exhaust cat back. Can you clarify though? You said same downpipe as me, as in the HJS 245 specific one but then go on to mention the Milltek 3” with sport cat? Which is it? The only reason I went with the HJS is that it can be run on a standard or boxed car with no CEL due to having dual, very high quality, cats (100cell + 200cell). Due to being remapped you wouldn’t need that, a one cat downpipe would be fine (as the remap maps out the downpipe CEL’s from the ECU) and would flow marginally better too whilst being less expensive. My downpipe was £1450 on its own!! funny money but I keep the car warranty friendly as it can just be removed if needed along with the JB4, which is what I wanted.
  6. I just removed and sold my Scorpion Resonated system after a week. Far too boomy inside the car, sounded great outside though. Back to standard cat back for me and couldn’t be happier (wife and kids too!) so hope you have a better experience with the Milltek. Your intercooler will be good for warmer ambient temps next year but at this time of year won’t make much difference. I wasn’t getting any timing pull with intake temps hitting 115f when I last ran mine. So with the same downpipe and an intake and remap I’d expect similar numbers to me, maybe a tad more as the remap should be, in theory, better than the box. I’ll say 335bhp and 500nm. Make sure they do a before and after on the day, you’ll really see the true gains then. I hope you don’t have the same experience as me with the exhaust though!!
  7. Erm.. what downpipe, intake and intercooler are you planning fitting and where’s doing the remap?
  8. Its not though. Everything else steering, dcc, engine sound stays in sport, it’s only the gearbox that drops back to drive. All you need to do is pull the shifter down to get it back to sport again once warmed up, no need to press any buttons. As said, it’s so you ain’t revving the tits off a cold engine.
  9. Of course it will.... while still returning 59.8 mpg....
  10. Tyre wear, I'd removed my "summer" wheels/tyres last week and had a look, I've about 5-6mm left on the fronts (PS4-S) after about 7k or so. E-diff is good, traction nannies need turning off as much as you can with the button (ESP Sport is the least invasive setting) or the car just cuts power when launching. At the end of the day, it is a FWD car, launching off the line is never going to be super quick but the 245 does a good job of it at these sport of power levels. I had considered dropping in an IS38 or even a hybrid from Littco but came to the conclusion there's not really any point, In my opinion at least, these cars sweet spot is right around the 300-340 bhp mark. Get a downpipe, remap/jb4 and maybe some intake mods and just enjoy it for what it is. Oh, and better brakes.
  11. Puts the power down really well to be honest with you, the VAQ works well, ESP in sport and feather in the power, clearly you can’t just floor it like you can in an AWD but mid 5 seconds is pretty respectable for a FWD.
  12. I got 5.66secs without really trying too hard. I reckon in the right conditions, with a bit of practice, low 5's would be achievable. My car is running around 330bhp though.
  13. Might have missed something but dont you only need 1? The listing states 2 are included? If so, I'll buy the extra one for £7.50 from someone and we're all on to a winner
