    Lowered Recaro seat frame anyone?

    As above. Are we talking a one-off, or a group buy at that price?

    Track day tyre pressures

    Surely this depends on the direction of the track? On a mainly right handed track then yes the FL will take most of the loading, but if it's mainly left handed, then the FR will work the hardest.

    Alternative Display

    As previously promised, a little more information. The display is one we had left over at work from another project, and is actually the same display as the one used in the McLaren MP4-12C GT3. Here's a couple of pictures of it in that car. I've wired it into my 197 allowing me to access a...

    For those who have asked what the display does, here's a quick preview. T7tz04ond4I

    Small update. The display is now installed on a more permanent basis, and below is a photo of it taken this morning. Will do a more detailed write-up over the weekend, but I'm very pleased with it!

    Liquid yellow R27

    I'll second this. I wouldn't waste your time with Tour De Farce. Why not give Dan at 519 a call and see if he can help you. He's only an hour away.

    Dodgy stuff

    You are completely correct, and I have never claimed to know the facts, hence the comment, "I suspect that there's more to this story". All I know is what RS Tuning have posted, and I have based all of my comments on this. I am not working off any assumptions. Everything in my post is based...

    Dodgy stuff

    It's nowhere near the same thing. RS Tuning are using this as a way to try and gain some popularity / exposure, at the expense of another tuner, end of story. They say it's happened before yet offer no proof. They present their side of the argument, yet offer no evidence that they've...

    Dodgy stuff

    Really? I'd say it's quite easy. RS Tuning come across as a petty company who are taking a cheap shot at another company and one of their employees! Clearly RS Tuning are jealous of the company in question, or just feel some need to publicly bad mouth the other company to try and score some...

    The touch screen will work fine providing you sort out the rest of the electronics and receive and decode the data accordingly.

    Traction control

    Just curious on what basis you judge that? You have experience of driving high performance cars on ice lakes and snow, and tuning ESP in those situations? Out of interest, who are you adjusting it for, VW, and where are you testing it?

    Traction control

    Sorry, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Try taking a 500hp rear wheel drive car onto an ice lake and pull away with traction on, no problem. Repeat with traction switched off, and you just end up polishing the ice! Yes there are differences in TC systems between...

    Nitron coilovers available for our 200

    Having read this post a number if times, I'm still struggling to understand what you're saying! Do you know anything about either Nitron or business in general? Companies who have good reputations and are known for producing good products don't just stick their name on a product and throw...

    A bit of an over simplification! First challenge: find a readily available display that is daytime viewable (more difficult than it sounds) and sort out the relevant filter for it (the filters greatly improve the readability). Next challenge, get everything connected together and...

    Alternative Display

    At the moment that display is circa £2k, so I think there's a fairly limited market for it! There may be the option in a few months to make available an alternative, but you'll still be looking at the best part of £900 for it.

    I was going to retro fit the RS Monitor in my 197 over the Christmas period, but I got a little distracted and decided to have a go at putting one of the displays we had at work into the car instead. I'm quite pleased with the results! Apologies for the videos being 90° out, but I couldn't...

    TPMS hate

    Overheads such as buying equipment to do it, running the place, training their staff, etc etc. it's not just their time you're paying for!

    prima racing green dyna twist

    So R&D projects can take longer than expected, and sometimes don't always make it to production. Your point is? As far as I'm aware, K-Tec are the only company to offer a straight replacement for the 1x2 ECU which doesn't require a dash replacement, or leave the stock dash looking like a...

    Retro-fit RS Monitor

    It would be if it was a measured value, but I believe it is a calculated value based on other measurements and an algorithm, so it's really not of that much use. I have a RS monitor display that will be going in my 197 this winter, just for a bit of fun.

    Cambelt over due

    I would say the complete opposite. Everyone has seen the lengths that dealers will go to to get out of repairing things, changing things or doing anything else that ultimately ends up costing them money. If they screwed something up, I would say they're far less likely to just own up and fix...
