Hi all,

I'm booked in to have my 2001 Octavia 1.8T Elegance remapped by Revo. 150bhp to 207bhp for £250 can't be argued with!

I also have a banking dilemma. I forgot to cancel my standing order to my credit card and so I now have £100 credit on it. I either have to spend it or HSBC will charge me £5 to transfer my money back !

Anyway I now have £100 to spend so I could spend it on shopping and sensible stuff or I could get an extra mod to go with my new remap. Anyone got any ideas? I'm not too bothered if I go slightly over the £100 mark but it needs to be explainable to the missus so no more than £120!!

Not sure whether to go performance or appearance mods though.

I have seen some spoilers on eBay for around £60 quid and spraying should take that to the £100 mark but I'm also interested in performance mods but I want decent quality which can be difficult for £100.

All suggestions welcome.

And here's a pic of my soon-to-be sleeper:

arb...

[SkodaMart]

easy. overpay by an extra £150 bringing the total to £250 then use your credit card to pay for the remap.

[Yella]

Unfortunately I'm paying cash for my remap. And that way I don't have the excuse to spend an extra hundred on the car!!

Sorry ed, arb? Having a dim moment, whats arb?

[RobClubley]

Rear anti-roll bar - makes the handling much better

[Yella]

I see. Good idea.

Where from and how much etc?

[RobClubley]

Have a look here:

I can definitely recommend them - mine made a big difference.

Thats a closed thread because people couldn't get them.

I'll have a surf around. Cheers.

Any one got any views on the K&N 57i full Induction Kit. I've seen these for £90.

[vrs-si]

nah the 57i is pish imo. have a look around on ebay for abd racings and the like. get a full induction kit as the 57i does not go down behind the front bumper

[VRStu]

I would say an induction kit or decent filter to assist your remap in getting the best for the car.

Alternatively you could keep hold of the £100 for a couple of weeks to see if the remap highlights any underlying issues such as N75, MAF or DV. These can often appear to be working fine on a car but because the remap places extra demands on them a problem is highlighted.

Ooops, sorry, missed that bit.

[Yella]

I can't seem to find any english sites selling abd racing induction kits. Any ideas?

[Yella]

Awesome GTI sell the Neuspeed P-FLO induction kit for £135. Opinions?

I'm just full of questions today!!

[Groundzer0]

Try Whiteline rear anti roll bar. £128 from balance. or go for the Audi S3 upper and lower front strut braces, part numbers and prices are kicking about on here somewhere

Impossible Performance in Kent is the ABD Racing importer. Ring Mike on 01634-710777, they are site sponsors, so you will get a good price.

I, and several others on her have them and they are very good, as are Carbonio.

[Yella]

Yeah but with Carbonio you're getting towards the £300 mark aren't you?

Fast ford(i think) did a big test on air filters from many different manufacturers be them sealed cold air intakes, con filters or panel filters and the K&N came out witht eh best power gain, these tests where all done on the same day on teh same car

[matt_theforce]

go for ARB and Panel Filter. or keep over paying on your CC and go for the 312mm brake setup. There's no point getting all that extra ooommmpppphhh if you cant stop.

Your best bet is to buy a forge 007p dv coz the map is gonna soon cause the standard bosch unit to fail, easy to fit takes about 10 mins tops.

[yellowcupra]

Revo for £250 ? You sure this is a genuine Revo dealer because clones of there tool are out there now! Just be sure before spending your money.
