Looks like you've do a good job of your brakes mate. How did you do them? Sand down? How many coats? And did you lacquer them afterwards? Where did you get the hammerrite smooth from?
Sorry for all the questions I'm quite tempted to do my S3 rears.
gave them a good clean with degreaser first then scraped all the loose bits off sanded them with 2 grades off sand paper then hung them up in the shed and used hammerite smooth gloss black from halfrauds(smallest tin)it goes along way-2 coats in the end m8,heat proof and really shiney
received my new Revo ceramic this morning,plans were to have it next month when im at aks tuning but the guy wanted the itg like today and payed straight away so i thought sod it why not hehe
will be fitted tomorrow and ill leave the cold air feed in that i had on the itg in place

be interested to hear what you think of the revo intake,i fitted mine today and was quite surprised the noise is mostly just spooling turbo sound not really what i was expecting to be honest but still sounds pretty cool.
must admit though guys the itg sounds bloody awesome
im hoping the revo will serve me better for the track day abuse

What were u expecting mate?
with the 1.8t i got more of a throaty roar as well as spooling noise i guess i was expecting more roar,either way im not too bothered as it does still sound much better.
Good lad!ill update my findings later as im on my way out to have it fitted
I like mine, feels like there's less low down lag and it pulls harder to the redline!
I do find it quieter than my ITG though.
well fitting the revo didnt take long at all,was a bit of a pain putting the bracket on with a screw to the front air duct as it never had a screw in it the first place,hunted for 1 for ages lol
initial thoughts,its quiet compared to the itg tbh and the car drives pretty much the same but i didnt have chance to get it up to the redline as theres alot of traffic about,the car already had a quick spool up anyhow but hoping after some abuse it keeps the temps down
hmmm was it a worthy upgrade?time will tell
also kept the LARGE bore cold air pipe in
a few pics before
cold air feed for the itg
getting there
perfectly fitted to use the cold air feed
comparison
took about 1.5 hours altogether so saved a bit on labour costs hehe
now after that am i being a bit OTT and want getting this ceramic pipe wrapped in DEI gold tape?
cheers
