haha cheerz borderboy

Just got 20,000 miles service done today

bad news she needs new rear brake pads and discs in the next 5000 miles,
so i'll be putting the coilovers back and brakes come first. while am on the the rear discs and pads i'll get the new front as well.

am thinking Tarox discs (G88's) all round and Tarox pads on the rear,
but Tarox dont do front pads for the Seat Sport AP Racing caliper.

does anybody know of any uprated pads that will fit the Seat Sport AP Racing caliper?

any advice on uprated discs and pads welcome
help please

you should check damoegans thread he has uprated discs and pads on his cupra and they work really well from what ive read. i beleive the pads are ds2000 or somthing like that heard nothing but good things about those pads.

That torque figure must be wrong, thats more torque than a mk2 leon fr tdi with remap and dpf delete.

Its also more torque than my k1 if true!

thats what the rr results were after my uprated clutch was fitted. am going to take it for another rr test when i get time, to find out if its a true result.

new front tyres fitted
what a dfference in grip between the Pzero's and T1R's. T1R's are loads better at gripping when setting off fast.
the strut brace and T1R's have made my handling better, i didn't think the strut brace would make the difference it has. i highly recommend if you haven't got strut brace get 1 as your next mod.

old near slick Pzero's on front

no sorry i haven't got any sound clips,
but with the Milltek downpipe decat pipe sounds really nice, the turbo alot louder. Milltek resonated cat back isn't really any louder than standard till my car revs above 3000rpm, where it gets louder and sounds really nice.

have a search on youtube for milltek exhausts these clips of ibiza tdi on there.

not to sure what you mean by rumble? but the exhaust note fades off slowly when the revs drop, sounds good. am very happy with the sound of the exhaust.
i'll get a video of the exhaust sound and post it on here soon.
