i got powerflex poly bushes when i fitted new shocks and springs. they were 29quid i think including the covers - the covers have split very quickly though. the bushes wont perish tho - fit and forget.

i got the ecs insert with new stretch bolt. ive heard these inserts can be adversely affected by not using the correct torque on the nut. mine was 75 ish plus extra 45deg (this was a few months ago so dont quote me on exact figures) which i presumed was the stretch - i see youve re used your original bolt though, so im not sure what difference that would make. mine made a massive difference to the drive which i could easily notice by about 50 yards up the road! i used to get horrible vibrations on biting point - if i was reversing very slowly up a hill it was a nightmare!! much much better now. also fitted an adjustable cheap ebay short shifter for around 34 quid - another amazing upgrade for little outlay, set mine to roughly 3/4 of maximum travel reduction and its so much better now.

i got my pagid setup from carparts4less - front discs and pads came in at £88 delivered which i thought was great and at the time was cheaper than ecp.

Is there much of a difference when adding a front one too? Has anyone fitted rear then front at a later date?

had mine done after fitting new suspension, all 4 corners were well out, feels a lot smoother and quieter to drive. not mind blowing but a small difference - better mpg too.

I actually find standards are fine. I've just put pagid discs and pads up front and they are great - im running 250 bhp too. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I've got the smaller of the two. I noticed a performance difference once fitted also a massive noise difference. They are very noisey which can be good or bad depending on what you want Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Isn't this the dog bone insert? If so then yes brilliant little upgrade. I was convinced my clutch was on its way out due to juddering on biting point. This stopped 90% of that! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

sending mine back now, had alsorts of problems in the end! guess i may have been unlucky.

I've just had an st kit installed. Looks like it's basically the weitec kits with labels stuck over lol and I bought it direct from kw in Germany so saved a bit. Have to say it's great, id say about a 25mm drop and really comfy. So much more confidence round corners now and it hasn't even been aligned yet! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Loads of flutter. Foot down til you can hear the boost build then let off 90% ish suddenly. Bit of a technique to it but you'll figure that out lol.

Didn't really change the rev noise too much for me tbh. Lots of turbo noises tho. I read recently someone say it sounds like a jet taking off- that's pretty accurate I'd say lol. A bit annoying at wot low revs as sounds like high water pressure inside the car. Mine whistles at 4-5k under full boost too. Little quirks but im not gonna spend 400 odd quid on something similar with a badge lol.

Dog bone insert is a great little mod. Really reduced all the shifting and clunking during gear changes. Also almost totally cured the vibrations at biting point. Ram air filter is pretty good too, quite loud but does the trick and I felt a difference mid/top end.

I've just installed the columbus copy made by pumpkin. Runs on android and I got to say it's pretty good. My dab reception is shocking once moving but im gonna hook up the main aerial instead which should improve things I've read. Sat nav is great on it and the whole unit is plug and play and feels well built.

Dv needs to be healthy. If it's still the standard one it may need changing

i think awesome do one of their own which is cheaper than both the last time i looked.

morning, i was hoping someone would be able to help! looking at buying an android or wince headunit and a dab addon box - some of these addon boxes vary massively in price from 50-150 quid. do they all work the same? could you essentially use one brand of dab box and connect it with another brand headunit? i appreciate youd probably have to cut and solder the connectors? thanks in advance.

What if you rev it quite heavily in neutral while parked up? If you can hear that clanging rattling noise from outside while doing this it would point to flywheel.

That vrs is epic! Love it. What exhaust is that? Really different and suits it!

I havent noticeably lost anything low end since I got mine fitted tbh. Get a bit annoyed with it being too loud at times tho. Might put standard back on for a bit. Didnt think you needed one stage 2 tho? I thought the only requirement was a dp?

I've been thinking about the pumpkin one myself actually.

What about engine mounts? Mine does this at times and the mounts do go from what I've read.

I'm interested in this myself. The standard cat back is fine in terms of flow apparently. The restriction comes from the dp and cats. I had a jetex cat back fitted last night can feel no difference in power at all. Not much difference in sound from inside either - outside there's a bit more bark tho. I've looked at the turbo revs dp and wondered about having flanged cat and decat sections made up to swap easy come mot/track time. Works out one hell of a lot cheaper. Will be following this post for sure.
