A shame mate - but understandable

You have to draw the line somewhere....

If I can't sell it I might change my mind and go ahead but for now I want the cash back for it really.

After a 'quick' drive down some country roads tonight I do admit it would greatly benefit from it being put in..

OK.

After much debate and thought I've decided that I AM going to keep the diff and have it installed, but I'm not going to tackle it myself.

JabbaSport are kindly going to do it for me at a MUCH better rate than more local companies, at nearly half the price, which is 'awesome'

June 24th...it'll be in!

I think that's the right decision, overall Harry

I doubt you'll regret the decision once it's fitted

I think so steve I think the k04 warrants it

I think that's it. Was my thinking and logic about it anyway. To fully enjoy and exploit the performance, the car deserves and warrants it

OK.

Waaayhaaay It may be a luxury item but, if you can afford it, you won't regret it! Take a short while to get the feel of it (easy!) then head down that country lane again...then again with the traction control off :p

It is a luxury item, but at this level of tune I think it becomes more of a necessity.

The question is do I have water/meth installed whilst I'm at Jabba? :p

Yes. Saves you the cost of going back again. Simples.

It would be rude not to.....

Hahaha, I was thinking about that for myself on the drive in this morning...this has got to stop!

+1.

Hehe it's very tempting. Should take it upto 370bhp

Why not do it right & whack a second turbo on there...

Doing it right would be to ditch the k04 for a gt3076R

wmi @ jabba = extortioate cost. i now where you can get the devils on kit supplied and fitted for about half the price of jabbas snow perfomance

Where's that then Sy? What gains can be had from the kit? I was going on the assumption of 30bhp with an adjusted map to suit.

It's June 24th, Harry! So what's the story? You got your Quaife fitted??

It's June 24th, Harry!

:wonder: :no: .......

The excitement is so huge that's it's equal to one month's worth of time travel!

That must be what it is...either that or I'm just going senile! :S

Haha. I wish it were the 24th! Won't be long though.

How are you finding your car with it fitted now you've had it a few weeks?

Looks like it might be in sooner than I thought...June 22nd

Pretty good, Harry. I read someone saying that the Quaife kicked in before the traction control did however, that has not been my experience - the difference may be that I don't have the best rubber on the wheels at the moment so that's my next purchase....no point spending that kind of money on a Quaife to get traction if the tyres could be better! On the plus side, they're not the worst tyres either so a press of the ESP button when I plan to give it the beans and it is a bunch of fun!

PS - the downside is that the temptation is much greater to drive like a hooligan to feel that it's there as you wouldn't know it otherwise.

The Quaife kicks in before the traction control on my Fabia VRS.

With just under 270bhp I get a brief bit of TC in first and then in 2nd onwards I get no TC at all. It just goes...

That's running on Toyo T888 tyres for road use.
