Another update time .
On Monday went to Abbey Motorsport for some suspension parts and to turn off the engine light that came on after the Uprev .
First was two new banana arms
Then a Whiteline front anti roll bar set to soft with Whiteline drop links .
Then a Whiteline rear anti roll...
Only one point to note is that parts and tuning part are not cheep for this car and you will never gain a lot of BHP on this engine as most make 250 ish not the 275 the book said .

Little bit quicker than a MK 6 GOLF GTI I found in my one .
handle nice bit heavy at 1525 KG for the GT pack ones .
I love my one for the looks and noise alone .

So on Friday I went up to Abbey Motorsport to have some Cobra HFC and a Milltek Y pipe fitted and the Uprev done .

Uprev with print out
The car started off with low ish numbers but saw some good gains in the end .
+ 19.3 BHP and + 12.9 LB/FT
Converting this in to old money...
At the weekend I did the diff oil change
parts .
The filler plug was a PITA to get off but a bit of heat sorted this .
The plug had some shavings and sludge on it and the oil was a darker honey colour so a change was a good plan .
Hmm not sure about that as I would have to buy two induction kits because of the HR layout, and I think I have read that its similar to the 182 in that induction kit actually lowers the BHP :confused:
If it is an open cone style it would lose BHP but the noise is amazing .
Also any power mod...

I thought you would approve it from the 207 GTI :)
The girlfriend has now got the 207 GTI so it has worked out well .
I still say the 207 GTI is a good car ( if it is working ) and would fit all of my needs but it does not excite me and as much as I tried I could never love / get excited about...
