My mkIV Golf ~ UPDATES! *Small update - new pics* Pg6

its an AUM.

he said that after a few weeks and its gained enough info about idle, full throttle, ect it'll be able to perfect all of them, ect. so it'll run better.

its the same as when you disconnect the battery for an hour or so, the ecu has to re-learn all these things... its talked about quite alot on uk-mkiv's.

 

oh, learn something new everyday. just didnt know it took so long, thought it was within a matter of minutes/seconds even, that it adjusted. anyhoo, mine is an AUM too so expect the same output.

 

who mapped yours? CC apparently make their maps about "driveability" apposed to the so talked about "figures". ie. their maps arnt high in bhp but are useable or some crap lol

so im thinking no more then 200bhp. my mate has a RR at his work so i might see if he'll do it for a pint or something.

star performance in scotland mate. its a very smooth remap and all the power is mid range so quite easy to drive around town with 30mpg showing on the display. i put my foot down in 2nd gear too much though and my clutch is starting to die

 

Today has been sooo nice in Reading! so naturaly i spent most of it outside cleaning the car lol (how sad?) well i spent about 70 on cleaning stuff so i might aswell bloody use it!

so after a bit of cleaning (and i bit of photoshopping, only a little bit mind) here are a couple of new 'arty' pics...





i also made myself a new sig

let me know what you think.

Luke



oh, and on another note. ive just ordered my new wheels!!! not telling which ones yet though

 

Nice. Gota love people out there still 'cleaning' cars without using the 'd' word!

 

lol thanks

 

i forgot to add, its booked in at Storm's for the 3rd for a rolling road sesh.

hope it delivers the goods

Luke

 

looks ace man! wish i had time just now to clean the motor. its been weeks.is the car blue by the way? i always thought it was black.

 

are you being racist? lol, na its black bud, although the front end is peppered in white dots...

Luke

 

yea tell me bout it. driving up the bypass twice a day takes its toll on my paint. i nearly considered a bonnet bra but then realised how pants they were.

 

well, went to Storm Development this morning for a sesh on the rollers to see what difference the CC stage 1 has made...





the figures are:

220.9BHP @ 5694 RPM & 221 FT lbs @ 5647 RPM @ the fly wheel

165.7BHP @ 6082 RPM & 166 FT lbs @4880 RPM @ the wheels

MAX power at flywheel 220.9BHP





needless to say, im pretty damn chuffed! no engine mods! Steve said it was running perfectly, nice and smooth!

Luke

 

thats very good mate

 

cheers buddy

 

good to hear... what wheels you getting?

sig pic looks real good

 

cheers mate,

ill hopefully reveal the wheels in some new pics this week... they are taking their time getting here

Luke

 

The new pics look great, any clues about the wheels?

 

cheers bud

sorry, i want the pics of the car with the wheels to do the talking. if you know what i mean... i think there might be some haters. but a small clue is that ive never seen a mk4 with these on, but they are direct fitment.

but i bet ill see loads once ive fitted them lol do'h!

 

gotta be phaeton alloys?

 

50bhp losses in the tranny? thats damn near 25% on a FF car. sounds like someone has had the random number generator out again

got a torque plot?
