Keep up???? I think we need to slow this thread down a bit. Perhaps if we fitted bigger brakes to it?

As much as I hate the bickering with Keith on these threads and listening to his flawed arguments and constant changing the subject when proven wrong, they are the best entertainment on the forum. Much popcorn has no doubt been eaten by people reading it. It's a shame the original post has been lost in the abyss but I will keep anyone who is interested updated once the brakes are fitted and tested.

Talking

Wow what a thread. From the original point the brakes look good would be nice to know how you get on fitting them.

And in reference to the disagreement in views at the end of the day in my small amount of experience being only 26 I think even if you get advice which is the right thing to do if you want to do something different do it you might get lucky or even find your way is better. That's how I am if you wanna try something just do it unless its gonna cause harm to you or others. At the end of the day its your project and you want it to be indervidual.

Thanks I agree with you. I've made some mistakes trying new things which Keith always points out now after the event lol.

The proof that keith isn't confident in his own knowledge of tuning these cars is that he never posts on my threads on T5D5. He knows the guys there would pull him to bits regarding limitations of the T4. He even copies and pastes posts from T5D5 on here instead of answering them on there.

I had a phase 1.5 which uses the phase 1 ECU. Only after fitting a forged engine, Holset turbo and supporting mods did I find out no one can map them! I wasn't prepared to spend any more on an aftermarket ECU So chucked the towel in. Believe me I explored every avenue they all had a dead end. So for him to say you can is rubbish. I tried something different it didn't work fair enough. Now I have a phase 2 have more potential for big power with future mods. Brakes seem like a sensible first point of call.

I think Mitch that after saying Keith says this and Keith says that...you have proven to me and i dare say others that you are somewhat dyslexic.

You don`t read properly and never ever could translate my meanings into the meanings that are meant...you just add your own inuendo`s.......

Never mind we are not all like yourself!

Go back and read......is that why you keep editing your posts as you then realise what i have said?

My arguements are never flawed nore is my knowledge it is just that you interpret the truth in a different way...and ...i don`t change the subject ......and i told you why i don`t post on your favourite forum go back and read instead of telling untruths.
