  4. EGR disabled in Remap - Worth removing EGR Itself?

    you can't map out egr, only turn it right down. removing it is always better than turning it down as the race pipe has no restrictions and the egr pipe closes up a fair bit.
  5. De cat or not.

    its the cat that smells, not the emissions.
  6. Brembo Piston Size

    why on earth would we need to know this out of interest? I've had them calipers or years and it's never even crossed my mind what size the pistons are.

    things can be bent and you not notice, it doesn't take much. also make sure that its 100% the same height all round as that could throw it out.
  10. What makes a chav car

    how many cars on here had sun strips as standard? I know my 11 year old skoda did, it was green as standard and when I had my windscreen replaced I had the option of green or grey, I went for grey.
  11. What makes a chav car

    show me a car uk from the last 10 years that didn't have factory tinted windows...................... in fact you could possibly extend that for a few more years.

  13. How much is my Leon worth?

    your mods will lower the value and make most punters walk away without even looking, best bet is to return to standard and sell the upgrades seperately. much easier to sell and make a lot more money. its all well and good people putting them on ebay for 2k but is anyone buying them? and is...

    exactly, it'll be very quick but handling wise it will never match something like an evo sadly due to the 4WD system
  15. mk3 ibiza 4x4 gt3071 track build engine pics inside

    i've had my haldex car for nearly 10 years and I've also got a proper full time mechanical AWD car, haldex is very good but its not the same, all i'm getting at really is that fitting a haldex system won't make your car act an evo etc and I wouldn't want you getting your hopes up. its a funny...

  17. mk3 ibiza 4x4 gt3071 track build engine pics inside

    mk1 haldex cannot be proper permanent 4WD as it requires movement to lock but i believe there are standalone controllers out there that can make it 4wd all the time when moving.
  18. mk3 ibiza 4x4 gt3071 track build engine pics inside

    the mk1 haldex with standard controller only puts power to the rear when there is 15 degrees of slip on the front wheels i believe, the blue(upgraded) controller cuts in earlier as it will cut in when WOT below certain speeds whilst putting more power to the rear and more aggressively, it makes...

    just gonna keep looking out for cheap ones and if people still want stupid money then i'd rather buy new be it originals or nice pattern parts. i'm not paying £600+ to get 10 year old, split, cracked and warped plastic bumper skins onto this car.
