A bonnet scoop just adds drag, you're trying to go faster here. Add some louvres on the bonnet, they will remove the hot air from the engine bay. You can't just shove more air in there, you gotta get the hot air out, that's one thing a bonnet scoop doesn't do. They'll also look better ;)

When I had my TT Mk1 there was a guy on the American forum who went crazy on this subject. He ended up developing his own filter setup (very similar to the Maxogen), CAF, ceramic gaskets all over the place etc etc He tried different setups for months and logged all the results, it was a pretty...

Hard to recommend it to someone else tbh. I wanted it lower and reducing the roll really helps flicking it left right. I'm happy with it. On bad roads it will be a rattling nightmare!

Everything you said is correct but there are no alternatives unless you spend big money and go for coilovers that will make it stiffer and lower but without losing travel. They are also better damped. Our roads are incredible, I moved here from London so this place is like a racetrack. I...

P.s. The difference between the 197 non cup with H&R's and a 200 with cup dampers and H&R's is significant. The 197 rides very well, mine is pretty bouncy

My springs finally arrived and fitted them on Friday. I did a spring swap on a non cup 197 a few weeks ago, the H&R springs are about the same diameter as those but the stock 200 cup springs are seriously beefy in comparison. The diameter of the H&R's looks puny! Out on the road there's no...

LOL. Imagine what the people behind you thought... they probably thought you two were sad friends out for a drive in their green cars

Interesting. They say it is a pre-developed map that is sent out with a set of k-techs cams

Would never have thought of that. I didn't know those things fail in this day and age.

Thanks for this. It's even worse now I've fitted the H&R's. Even at less than 5mph if I stab the brake a bit the ABS kicks in and crunches. What would you use to clean the sensors. I used brake cleaner last time

Have you changed the battery, it solves most keycard problems

That gives a great choice, you can get the pre Aug 2010 RS200 cup shock or the post Aug 2010 RS200 shock if you want it 15% stiffer

Yeah, gutted for you. Can we get a sticky up with part numbers for Eibach and H&R's as well as photos of the top mounts? I listed the correct part numbers earlier in this thread and there is a great post with photos of top mounts on here

I'm not hard on the power, our roads are long sweepers so you must be very smooth. On tight hairpins when you're hard on the power in 2nd or 3rd you can feel the traction control cut the power but in 5th gear 80mph it doesn't cut the power, it hits the brakes. I'm gonna have to get a video on...

True but if you removed the old ones, put in the new ones then realised the front springs are wrong. So now you had to remove the new ones and put in the old ones.... how much would you charge?

Wouldn't the 200 shock fit? The top of the shock shaft should screw into his stock 197 top mount.

Nice job, looks good

you can pull out the coil packs one by one. if you pull a good one it will be on 2 cylinders and obviously feel worse. if you pull a faulty one it will remain on 3 cylinders and lumpy

Sounds like a coil pack. I had one go on my TT and it sounded and felt terrible

SO what did you spend £5k on?
