SG-TP-AB RS230 - Timeline

[guile]

hi mate, I just noticed you have exhaust wrap and turbo blanket fitted. have you checked the temps to see if it made any noticeable difference?

I'm struggling with high oil temps at the moment and looking for solutions but I think an oil cooler will be inevitable...

[HPRS230]

Managed to find time to clean the foam air filter, dry it and re spray it, installed last night ready for happy laps this morning.

Sessions now have a speed limit down the main straight, so the oil temp never got over 110.

This afternoon re bleed the brakes just to get the pedal back after half an hour of hard stopping.

The FK510 tyres worked well and was very happy with the grip they had, started the pressures alike to low so took a while to come up, but we're stable around the 38psi mark.

Got some bits coming so look out for that soon

Saturday service

My 6 months service is mainly a oil change, but Ive also done:
Changed back to stock air filter to clean the foam one
Re adjusted my shift cables (manual box)
Re oiled DVX BOV plunger
washed air intake plastics
Bleed clutch and brakes

New rear pads today, found that the rear rotor minimum spec is 8mm, and have about 10mm after 3years. Pads have done well....
Went with stock rear pads as the rotors were still in spec, was looking at T2 and FP2 set up, but thought I'd save the cash.

Car is 3 years old (to us) on the 10th, how time flys aye!!!

The Grey Ghost now Stops, turns and puts power down again. Falken FK510 now on the car 235/35/19 fit perfectly. Will drive for a while but initial thoughts coming from a 2015 P zero's are out of this world lol.

Hey Lucas_R,
Cheers for the feedback, yea I not keen on spending heaps

[Lucas_R]

Yea that link is what I'm talking about.
Yea I'm due for tyres, looking around tbh.

The FK510 might be the go

I had Falken Azenis FK510's on my Lexus IS-F which i just recently sold. I was happy with those tyres, they grip well, have low noise and are well priced. They have a nice looking sidewall too but the tread pattern does not look aggressive.

Will 245/35-19s fit with our 19s? From memory going +20 on the width (from 225/35-19) puts as at +14 on the dia, which is legal. Assuming it clears guards and liners with the Extreme 19s...

Yea people have been putting 235s on, seems ok for clearance.

Hey mate,

Yea it's great on the nvh front, still get wheel hop, but my tyres are old, hard and at the wear indicators...

It's a nice product but I've seen a few rear like the V1 HPA, if I was to do it all again, I'd stay stick with and insert or the 034 rubber replacement bush

Skoda RS230

I would suggest stickier new tyres would give way to even more axle hop given it'll be harder to transfer the power to the wheels.

034 sell a pair of mounts. I'm guessing there is an upper and lower dogbone mount? Are these easy to change without a press?
034Motorsport Street Density Dogbone Mount Pair – VW MK7 Golf/GTI/R, 8V AUDI A3/S3/RS3 – AutoInstruct

And I suppose if the pair of rubber mounts aren't enough, an insert could be tossed into the bottom mount for good measure...

[HPRS230]

Hi Hamish,

How are you finding the Revo pendulum (dogbone) mount after some time with it?

Cheers, Gav.

Getting a Service done today, so at the weekend sorted out a few odd jobs.
- Replaced the HPA puck with a Revo puck.
- Quick Brake bleed
- Removed JB4 for service
- Checked airbox and air filter

Next on the list will be Tyres and Rear brakes (pads and Rotors most prob)


Mod life....
Stock, HPA Mk7 V1, HPA Mk6, HPA Mk7 V2, Revo (in Car)
Very very small amount of nvh (Revo ftw)

[HPRS230]

Long time Since something happened, which means care free motoring right?

Still need to do rear brake pads, and New tyres soon, and maybe remove the HPA Puck as Im over the NVH it has.
Might try Revo or go back to the Stock bush with a APR insert/Arm, with the 034 Upper insert.

Always on the look out for other mods, but tbh, Think this will be my lot on power levels, Not interested in doing an Intercooler or a real tune. JB4 is powerfully enough for the street.

Might book some time on the Dyno for a JB4 tune up...
