What is this retro fit cruize?

Cruise control. It lets you set a speed on the road and sticks to it without you having to press the accellerator. If you press the brake it cancels the cruise speed. It can be fitted by the dealer and is £120 cheaper than having it fitted at the factory. :nerd:

Can you get cruise control on manual or is it only available on auto?

woosh £3.8k  what you planning on doing Hurdy sounds a serious bit of kit.
surely a 4 pot set up would be more than enough for a mapped ed30.

The ceramics are tempting. What I deliberately didn't mention was that they aren't widely used (for obvious £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£ reasons) and are therefore relatively untested. I will end up going for a standard rotor as competition spec "put your face through the windscreen" brakes are a bit excessive.

I had originally made my mind up on the ECS stage 5 brake kit, but as it is basically a Porsche Cayenne stopper I'm not too keen. Porsche brakes are good, but have been known to bind and lock on as well as squeal. The search continues :cool:

Having big brakes is one thing.. but stopping is usually limited to the level of grip your tires have. Believe me I have had mine lock up on me many a time. Its not bigger brakes you need... its another tire :huh:

I'm not just talking about sheer stopping power, I'm also talking about brake fade issues and the ability to brake later when I do trackdays. :cool:
I guess thats fair enough. Only spending nearly 4k on brakes is crazy talk!! You seem to have got the stronger strain of the Gti retuning bug i thinks! :evil:

You must be getting close to S3 money now Hurd?? :lipsrsealed:

I'm well into it! :shocked:

£25.5k for the car
£2,400 for audio
£600 for remap
£200 for Carbonio fitted
£200 for Forge DV - to be fitted
£1200 for Milltek - ordered and to be fitted
£150 for retro fit cruise at dealers
£800 over 3 yrs for servicing, maintenance and tyres
£300 for GAP
£80 for CG locks

Coming shortly:-

Suspension mods £1k?
Brake mods up to £2k? ish :wink:

So it will be close to £34k once everything is done. :shocked:

Well you have to spend your money on something don't you :cool:



Very tru! I think i know the answer to this... but any regrets?? The S3 I seen last week was fully spec'd for about 33k. A simple remap would have got you 300+ bhp. i kow your stereo cost a fair bit, but the bose one is more than capable of doing the job would be included in the price.

Not tempted???

as a matter of interest what size brakes do the ed3o have, as the mk2 leon cupras are bigger(same as mk5 r32) i believe.

*Thinks about it for a fraction of a second*

Nah

1. Needed 5drs
2. Prefer DSG
3. Would have forked out on a remap either way
4. Would still have forked out on the aftermarket satnav
5. Would have still gone for the GAP
6. Would have still gone for the Service etc
7. Would have still bought a Forge DV
8. Would have still bought the CG-Locks.

So, all in all I would have probably been up near £40k with the S3 and it would still be a manual with 2drs.
