spent 500 quid having a custom cat back fitted at the Swansea branch after i did my V6 conversion
ended up going back their 4 times because the stainless tips were cracking open when hot so ended up replacing them with a single wall tip to cure that.
THEN another 7-8 trips as the boxes kept fracturing and blowing along with where they had sleeved it to the cat this also kept blowing :sad:

now saying it was 100 mile round trip to Swansea you can imagine how overjoyed i was to find out i had to go to Cardiff  at 200 mile round trip lol
so in total i spent 500 on the zorst and about the same on frigin petrol  :sick:

Lisa the bint their even has the front too ask if i want a discount on a system for our A6  :grin:

so out of a 10 scour they get about 1 in my book

Nice ride - got brake jealousy!

Mind u was at Top Gear with Scuhmacher @s the Stig (come on, he's not really now is he!?) and you should seen the brakes on the Ferrari FXX :laugh:
Title: Re: Just to say HOWDY
Post by: Dent Reform on 25 June 2009, 23:05
totally different league to be honest and the pads cost more than the MK4 did new lol

BUT i would go as far to say with the 355mm front and 284mm rears all sucking on DS2500 pads it is the BEST set of brakes EVER fitted to a MK4 golf and it can hold it's own corner for corner with almost ZERO fade no matter how hard you push them.
I have had the fronts so hot it vaporised the ATE super blue that was causing through it's vain  :shocked:
