What did you and your MK2 do today?

I'm planning on stage 2+, when I seen Andrews post when he got a set of these brakes and I decided to go for the brakes 1st as there was only 2 sets left when I rang Aks. This brake kit cost £1500 but Alex at aks tuning made 10 kits up himself that's how he could sell them at such a good price, I think I've read somewhere rrp would be £2k + to buy the parts to make a single kit up.
I've not tried them properly yet, but I plan on doing a trackday if I can get a day of work in November. Andrew has tried the kit properly he has been on a track day with the brake kit and I recall him said they are a big improvement over the standard brakes.
If your after a big brake kit keep an eye on the for sale section on the mk5golfgti forum for kits I've seen VWR kits on there and ttrs kits for sale recently.
Seen someone on here say they fitted a Piper cross filter and it got them upto 187bhp?
Any truth in this?
Thinking this is the one:

Also, reckon there would be any noise difference?

U won't notice any difference with a panel filter mate. With a cone u would hear a lot of wooshing from the glove box but no real gains to be had
Just put one in. Made a huge difference.
And by huge I mean, none at all.
With your head hanging over the intake you can hear a bit more if a sucking noise, but nothing noticeable during drive.
Was going by the post on here by epts2008:

Not for me it wasn't. Got it for free. But I don't think I would have gotten one if I had to pay the 35 quid or so for it.
K and N panel filters definitely flow more air but a loss of filtration ability over stock paper filters. The formula for power in a diesel is more air and more fuel equals more power. How much power is in the science though and I think it's been discussed several times and obviated that stock paper air filters are able to flow enough air to support about 220/230 bhp.
hey kev,
thanks a lot for all the information... they look beautiful and im sure theyll be a big improvement on the standard cupra brakes..
ill try keep and eye out on the golfgti forum.
good luck with all the upcoming mods.
Popped into the local bodyshop to see how much those roof dent would cost to fix.
Quoted me £150, which includes a full roof respray to blend in etc.. Gonna take it in next monday.

Yeah, the chap who owns it is a decent fella and hes done work for me in the past and is always spot on.
Someone reversed into me earlier this year and split the bottom lip of the front bumper so he fixedd that for me and resprayed the bonnet at the same time as I had a lot of unsightly bad scratches all over it.
He also painted a set of mirror caps gloss black for me for £30 a couple of months back.

That is a cracking price Andy.

Not heard of the tuner, and it's likely that it will cost you to declare the remap with your insurers.
