advice what do i do next

[Ridg]

just ordered some tt pedals will they make it go faster lol 

5bhp per pedal  

lol

apparently Max Power are giving away an extra 10 bhp with the new issue too.

I'd go with Rhyso's recommendation, and get the brakes done, having a fast 0-60 is all well and good but when your 60-0 is what going to stop you getting into a crash.

lol ive been lookin at brake conversion will get 1 wen i see 1 cheap but need to know exactly wat i need to do it ?   
quite happy with it as it is for the moment performance wise
so think i will concentrate on doing a few bits and bobs like new wheels ect and some possable styling maybe anni vallence and side skirts what do u think

[Ridg]

brakes wise you can go straight to the 312 mm but just changing the carrier, disks and pads.

although a carrier new can cost as much as a set from the scrap yard.

if you're thinking of going bigger than 312 mm then you would have to change everything calliper, carrier, pads, disks you can get porche brakes for the MK4 although the R32 (344 mm IIRC) are probably the biggest you'll ever need)

any disk bigger than 312 mm is going to need bigger rims too.

Cosmetically i'd go for a spoiler over the valence (you might already have one), the body kits always look good but IMO you can get as much of a visual change by colour coding the existing valence.

if you've got the TT pedals then is it time to lose the wood too?

cheers ridge ill prob sound thick but what r the carriers and what car would they be off for the 312 mm ??
would i really need to go any bigger than these for say 200 bhp
 
also r u talkin about rear spoiler for the top of the boot ??

I have lost most of the wood just got the doors to do i have also moved stereo down and put a vw cubby hole in looks much better altho i do miss the wood lol   

[Ridg]

the carrier is the peice which holds the pads in place



new they are £100 (pair) from vag parts, but i got a full set callipers, carriers, disks for £115 from a scrap yard.

cars with the bigger carrier are the octavia VRS, the Leon cupra, S3 and the Audi TT and the anniversary Golf

i think they would be fine for 200 bhp

yeah the stereo looks weird in that slot, and the cup holder is going to interfere with it.

[Phil.O]

does it matter about specific models for the upgraded carriers?

mk1/mk2 things like that?

if you have a GTI then all you need is the carriers to go to 312mm; also applies to the TDI 130p and 150 as they have the same wheel hubs.

Anything lesser i.e TDI 90, 1.6 and you need to change the hubs as they only have 280mm discs

the fmic your looking at on ebay (xs power) is sh1te, ive delt with thw guy before, so did some of the lads on a pulsar website i know. very ill fitting and does not come complete, also the ic itself is pants, very crude bar and plate design that dosent really cool the charge, also the pipe work is foil like thin
