:cool: or in the words of my boss: "Fantastic! Sensational!"

1500 quid is not THAT expensive.
Get this - my Oettinger remap was 1100 quid!  :shocked:
So even though I'd love to have Quaiffe, it'll cost me twice what you pay, most likely.  :lipsrsealed:

your kidding ?, the Revo remaps are £500 ish, so the Oettinger is disgusting

Switzerland, dude.... YOu should see the prices ABT charges  :shocked: :sick: And they don't even offer bigger intercoolers or TBEs (hell, they only offer back-box!)
Be happy you live in car enthusiast (the right way) country like Britain!

tbh i wouldnt pay that, i would just get a Bluefin shipped over and pay £450 + £20 post  :cool:

50 years of experience with VW engines are worth 500 quid to me

maybe, but £1100 is plain silly for just a remap

i would say Revo but they cant be installed by yourself (that i know of)

I'd take REVO too, with that handheld toy you get to play with your settings.
Unfortunately, REVO is not represented in Switzerland.

1100 quid... I haven't regretted it yet!
THinking of coilovers, ARBs, and dogbone inserts. Don't ask me the price.  :lipsrsealed: But that is the maximum I'd do on my E30.
To get a TBE from Oettinger (ABT does not offer any, like I said) would cost over 2000 quid.
Oettinger Stage 2 (intercooler, carbonio, exhaust from cat, and 330hp/460Nm) costs over 2500 quid. (at the current exchange rate).

And living in Switzerland does not automatically mean you are millionaire.

Robin was wondering where you've been !!   :undecided:

take it the Qauife diff is very good judging by the drop in posts !! !!!  :grin:

How do you feel after nearly a week Robin ?

by your last review a few posts ago it seems it has transformed the car into an even better car, maybe better than a Integra Type R or a CLio Trophy !!

dont get me wrong, im not having a go, just think the price is madness, and there ripping you off just because they can, it did my head in when  Revo tried to charge people nearly £900 for a remap over here, they have sensibly dropped the price down to a more respectable £500 ish now

....Hi :afro:

I haven't driven her every day but I'm now beginning to get a feel for the Quaife. As posted earlier, my session with VWR at Bruntingthorpe will teach me more than anything I dare experiment with on the roads. We're now going to combine that with sorting out my suspension.

I haven't driven an Integra Type R or a Clio Trophy but would suggest that the Mk5 GTI is a lot more comfortable as a ride than the Clio and isn't the Honda more of a 2-seater?

As we all know, the Mk5 GTI is such a great allrounder and that's something most rivals simply don't have. Modified, especially the Ed30, the Golf becomes awesome! At least it does in its category.

:afro:

Sorry, RR, to highjack your thread like that. Oettinger remap is over 1000 euro in Germany. I can't do anything but bend over and take is up the tail pipe.  :lipsrsealed: Anyway, I did not regret spending the money as E30 flies now.
