TanVr6 0 Posted May 27, 2015 My stupid iPad is broke and doesn't switch on, So Ive lost many good photos on the progress of the Rado. So I'll write up most and add pictures later. After ownership, first thing was to get a Full service inc. fuel filter change, 6 Platinum Spark Plugs (Audi TT apparently) Coolant change to G12+ Brake Fluid change New Xenons Loom fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) After realising the brakes were useless, and much reading on here and advice, I went for the 312mm brake upgrade. While doing this, also removed the rear wiper and fitted a new gearbox mount and changed the rear clusters to red and more red!

TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 I was very lucky enough to get my hands on some amazing BBS RS 301's from a special dude on here!!! and a new private plate hopefully for the future of this car!

TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Next was to get in on that schimmel cams group buy and get some ARB's fitted as the ride was very shifty on dual carriageways and roundabouts. I had the Eibach's fitted which made a difference but not perfect, I think it must be the FK suspension. Need to upgrade to something better and more adjustable, maybe some KW V2's? or Koni/H&R... Too many choices!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 We noticed a restriction in power, checked under the hood and spotted a damaged intake hose. New one ordered and fitted. Put the car on the Rolling road before and after. Before: 187.5 BHP After: 199.3 BHP :dance: Bring on the CAMS... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanVr6 0 Posted May 28, 2015 Started having issues with the power dropping off while driving, noticed that the air mass meter plug was very loose and keeps coming off. Had it re-wired by Chris @MidlandVW Cannock. All good now!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
