I've just had the car lowered. Looks so much better now. Pics to follow.
Also I have decided to remove the enclosed induction kit. I've noticed the car has lost a lot of low down torque so I am going back to standard airbox with a panel filter.

#49: Re: Liams GTi180 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 11:04 am ---- Yeah fitted as instructed and ripped all the stock s**t out. I've noticed that when above 3000RPM it probably has better throttle response but from the line it really bogs down. Also the metal pipe connecting to the throttle body gets really hot so that can't be good

Oh, hmm I don't notice any loss. I thought mine pulled better, mine wheel spins all over the place anyway more so with these s**t budgets I've got on the front atm so I really don't know.
Why not try bolting the stock filter system to the lower part of the Simota system with an uprated panel?

I may try that. Sounds like a good idea. I suppose people will get different results, i might just be dreaming it to be honest. Im going to go back to standard and then compare i think

Its prosport coilovers. I know they are cheap but couldnt be happier with them the ride isn't harsh at all and the handling fells a lot tighter than before. And it looks so much better
#55: Re: Liams GTi180 Author: JamieM, Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:06 pm ---- Hmm, well if they are any good I may try them.
I'll see how you get on with them for a while first though, not being dicky but it's the obvious thing to do lol
I'm all for budgeting now, If I never tried the Simota CAI people on Saxperience and here would say they were cheap and wouldn't touch them, a few people have bought them because I recommended them.
Any pics of the kit how you recieved it? Is it like normal coilovers come with the bar to adjust ect?
#56: Re: Liams GTi180 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:42 pm ---- Yeah it is. Comes with tool to adjust and rear shocks all for £180. I don't mind being the guineapig ha i'll let you know how i get on with them
#57: Re: Liams GTi180 Author: bashyy1, Location: Milton KeynesPosted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:02 am ---- Did you ever put up a vid of the Janspeed or have I missed it?
#58: Re: Liams GTi180 Author: Icetto, Location: Cape TownPosted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 3:06 am ---- Love the look of the car.
Perhaps consider getting black masked headlights to go with your look?
