Just goto see how they perform. I measured up my godspeed top hats last night and the offset is better than the OE disc, in fact I may get away with just shimming the carrier rather than milling it down.

I'll just get new rotors from GS and use the bells.

 

[PhilW]

So you might get away with not milling the carrier down then? Now thats gonna be good if thats the case. Then adding some washer just like you do with the cossie brakes then?

I'm very tempted to get a boost controller now, want to run a greddy profec b 2.

Downpipes should be here on monday, just paid for them.

 

[rhysox]

ditch the flaps then?

 

[rogers]

yea ditch them, wot brakes u bought mat......

 

[PhilW]

Yeah i would. Someone will buy them on here no probs.

 

[rhysox]

cool, will have a look into that tomorrow when i adjust the coilovers at the front... i bought those spacers, and i dont even think i need them. got no spacers at the moment and it actually rubbed last night going over a speed bump!

 

[PhilW]

Rubbing on the back or front?

Mine used to rub on the front on full lock on the drivers side on the large lump of plastic thats there.

 

[rhysox]

on the back, so not even gonna bother with spacers. and it doesn't look like it needs them anyway.

 

[PhilW]

What you mean need them?

The spacers are for handling, the rear wheels run 35mm closer together than the fronts, thats why people use 15mm spacers to square out the track to stop some crazy back end handling.

If theyre 15mm i'd put them, in fact anything is better than standard, you wont believe the difference in handling when you put them on.

i know i ask for help all the time guys but i have an eml light come on today and it doesn't want to go away. Was wondering if anyone was free tonight or tomorrow to plug me in. Will try and reset it now in a min and see if that works first but askin just in case

 

[PhilW]

If you had said earlier i would have popped out with the laptop.

 

[mr_D]

hi all. new on here got a mk3 ibiza cupra about a month back and it started to loose boost around 3500-4500rpm and boosts again has any1 got a clue what it could be?
thanks
Jamie

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Could be a number of things, has it pulled a fault code?

 

[JamieDav]

that was quick. No fault code. Really doing my head in though
Jamie

 

[mr_D]

might be because of the dv on it and if you havent got the bypass done then this can cause it. basically the car will be protecting its self!

but dont get me wrong it could be something completely different to this. i dont know what mods you got done!

 

[JamieDav]

mods are exaust,dv and remap dont know which one though thats all i think bought the car as it is
jamie
p.s any1 want a look at it to see if they could see anything i am near llanelli

 

[mr_D]
