After developing some engine vibration I decided to source a replacement dogbone. After some help from "Porkballs" I managed to get hold of a new one and then fitted some stiffer poly bushes, this is booked in for Wednesday and also will be getting them to fit my new s3 lower brace whilst they are under there!

Slight update on things, first off is the SAI removal!

Got the ECS 14lb SMF on mine, feels loads better than stock, :thumbup:

I believe iv got the same, I didn't weight it but it felt very light. I have alot more confidence in using this set up.

New o/s drive shaft ready to be fitted just before my visit to R-tech on Tuesday! !

A slightly massive problem occurred on the day of my R-tech mapping, they found a good old crack on my exhaust manifold :( . R-tech helped me by sourcing a second hand ported manifold of a big power golf. So a trip to Tps for some gaskets and a new version Recirc valve and we are almost ready for my remap! Again!!:(

Recently got my car back from R-tech who helped me out big time, but I'm slightly confused on my figures I got from my stage 2 map?? I was expecting a little more number's wise. Well im happy with the way it feels and the power curve seems a lot better, I was expecting around the 300 torque mark :(

Few more tweaks needed!

Do love this car hope you enjoy the stage 2.

Cheers pal,

After you let me have a blast in yours I had to sort the stage 2 map out. It feels very nice at the minute but it needs a few more tweaks, iv been spending alot of time with R-tech and they have been teaching me the ways of the FORCE! I look forward to seeing your car again soon with all that lovely green pipework .... very jealous! !

Yea funny you should say that.

I loved the look of your bay that it inspired me to do mine.

Just a few updates following my remap, first is a few pics from the National meet.

Here are some pics of the Rarb I fitted before I went around Castle combe in September, nice easy job with a massive improvement and gain in control and confidence when in the bends!

Car looks spot on. :-)

Do you have a link to your clutch set up?

Thanks pal,

I haven't got a direct link as my setup was purchased second hand but it is something along these lines as I have got the lightened flywheel.

Most popular setup is the Vr6 / G60 clutch and flywheel.

Thanks alot mate.

Is that the lighter flyeye you have or the darker stuff?

If I remember rightly it's the darker mesh style, it has lasted forever aswel!

Looking good danny.
