Just been looking at the price of the remaps, I was going go a place in congelton not far from me and pay £400, looking on the bay at r-tech, it says they come to your house for 265!! What a bargain. Well, from 265, does that depend on what stage remap you're having?

PM or email Nick as i reckon it could be a bit cheaper than that  :wink:

few people like Bob have been mapped by R-Tech and are more than impressed  :smiley:

That sounds alright. That's well cheap, for an extra 50-70 BHP!! I'm going drop him a PM in a min. I think my plan of action is going to be...

Exhaust tomorrow, get that fitted, then get a re-map (mrs won't know about that cause it's invisible lol). And then get brakes and suspension the following weeks. Jobs a good un! The brakes don't seem that bad at all standard, I was quite impressed to be honest, my type-r that I just sold which was around 210BHP with sh!t brakes, you want try stopping in that lol!!

Update!

Went down to Awesome-GTi on Saturday, picked up a Miltek twin pipe cat-back and 4motion rear valance, didn't get the high flow cat this weekend, thought I'd put that one on hold for now. It's got some grunt now, it sounds fookin mint it does.

Can't really say much for Awesome though, nice place, some mint motors knocking about. They only forgot to give me the fitting kit for the exhaust though, left me in a right pickle. Takes it up to a local garage, up on the ramp, mechanic cuts off old exhaust, tries to fit the Miltek, 'it's way too big mate'!.

I give Awesome a call, and the guy explains to me that he didn't give me the fitting kit. When I was there though, I heard one of the sales guys say to the bloke who was serving me something about the fitting kit, to which the bloke who was serving me replied, 'it's with the exhaust'. Not happy at all with that.

So after a bit of fabrication and a hiking bill the local garage got it sorted and I was on my way. Sounds sweet as...

Suspension and wheels next I think. The 16's really let it down IMO.

First time I've had any dealings with Awesome that was, probably the last too lol. I called them whilst the mechanic was fitting the zorst, the guy says to me 'Can you come to Manchester to pick it up', little did he know my car was in the air and had just had it's exhaust chopped off.

Never mind eh, live and learn...
