Kenny..... I like that set up on yours looks just right to me, dont think i would go much lower than that myself as its speed hump city where i live

I have to go over 6 sets of speed humps a day

Im surprised my suspension is not wrecked and my engine and g/box have not fell out by now......

Yeah plenty just short on the old funds at the moment

Got in mind a remap, PD160 which you know about

, lowered, FMCL007P Dump valve, Strut brace maybe. Thats it i think

Could do with a big bonus at work, hmm not going to happen lol

i want, or rather, i need seat sport wishbone bushes and powerflow wishbone bushes to stiffen up the steering geometry and correct the steering wheel judder
i want another inlet manifold to have polished up and re fit with the south-west performance inlet manifold power gasket, and will have the pulleys replaced with lightened and balanced items too, these will all be done on the cambelt service on my car which ill get done at 25k miles, currently on 15k
think im going to drop the old girl another 5 mm at the front too
rich, everyone has a list mate haha, funny thing is once you have ticked all the boxes, more comes, it just takes time and you will get there

Very true Jeff
was going to the ramap done first, but do you think i should get the dump valve and pd160 first?

yeah get all the bits first, then fit them just before you get your map, so your ecu will only have to learn its new perameters once, but saying that, its a self learning continuous learning ecu so wont matter to be fair

Thanks for that was unsure which way to play it, will get the pd160 and dump valve first

i agree remap first its mint it totally transforms the car and makes it fast not fastish car LOL but saying that i need 312mm brakes now cos it gets dangerous with that extra power! but then hearing from jeff it they will b*******s up my bottom arms

cant win! Just a question jeff could you not use seat ibiza cupra full complete bottom arms as they have brembos standard so must be up to the job!
