    SEAT PORTABLE SYSTEM [GARMIN] Skins & Hacking

    I've got a device from another car. It keeps saying " this function can only be used on the vehicle first installed etc" I've got the Fresh app but I cant see a way of resetting the device as it wants to contact the server. Obvously the server is no longer there. Is there a way of factory...

    I'm using the NewSouth gasket. Its half as thick as the one above. Does it do anything? Well god knows, but its well made and works well as a gasket !

    Anyone else stage 2?

    They do good work at gotboost if distance is an issue. AMD's dyno from what I've seen/heard reads very happy if you ask me.

    s3 front shocks in lcr.

    they fit. tt s3 lcr and octavia vrs are all the same design. However they have different damping rates. I believe the lcr is slightly softer than the others. I'm using s3 fronts on my octavia vrs and they are great.

    MrJoosh's Mk1 Leon Cupra TDI

    Yip. However few things look different on it now. I put a honda civic aerial on it. It looks like it has a fabia rear wiper now. I put a smaller mk5 golf one on. Also I had the front S badge painted the same as the wheels/mirror caps. I didnt put that pipercross filter on it. It had a much...

    tdi catback on lc180?

    The tdi and petrols are the same bore oem. The difference being the petrol is silenced and the tdi is not on the centre section. Hence why some people fit the tdi centre section on petrols when they don't want to splash out on a new ss system.

    tdi catback on lc180?

    it will fit. the auq and arl tdi engines share the same part numbers for most aftermarket exhausts. and when people fit the oem straight through pipe to a oem auq system, its actually off the tdi.

    150 TDI rear brake upgrade.

    black diamond, ferodo ds. I'm not a fan of ebc. I'm using brembo hp2000 sport pads and can't fault them, but they arent cheap. I guess the black diamond at 40 quid is more the entry one and works good.

    150 TDI rear brake upgrade.

    most 150 tdis only have 288 fronts. so 256 at the back might not be a great idea? If you dont want to go nuts, just get a good plain oem style disc and put some uprated pads with them.

    Audi 80 Top Strut Mounts

    Yeah 5 TO 10mm :) I don't really understand why you want them tbh. Yes they will fit but why? People only use them on lowered cars to get that tiny bit more. If you want a better stock item, then buy a lcr one.

    eurojet intercooler

    I'm aware of the welly cooler option, but by the time you get the pipes and map sensor sorted it soon mounts up. For the extra expense I rather a better fit , less joins, and a new crash bar that goes with the cooler. The eurojet seems to get good reviews in the states. Has anyone had...

    price seems good. Trouble is, do I fit a race or street version? I'm sticking to a ko3s. Doubt I'll upgrade the turbo. any ideas? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261256132444 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251312662468 thanks
