TomsFocus Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Dewiper does look cool, and I've done it a few times over the years, but I do use mine all the time so practicality wins for me nowadays. Not so much for direct rain but for the dirty road spray that ascends over the tailgate in the first sign of drizzle. Admittedly I do drive a lot of country roads so if you're a city driver it's probably not an issue. I do like the rasp of a Milltek system!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norty is just enthusiast thing, the sticker design is cool and wording also, but just a car group. See i do use mine, but i wish i didn't lol.

zain611 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 @Gommy get yourself this. Angelwax H2go. It's a glass sealant with really good water repelancy and heard also durability. I put it on the front windows of the house and my sister's car windscreen and the water now just beads off. When you look on untreated glass you see a film of water but with it treated it just beads off and there's less less water. Even the windscreen washer fluid goes down quickly and the wipers just about gets it 😂. No juddering sound from the wipers which is also good. Would be good to apply on the rear window as you removed the wiper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No country side around me, but I'm sure il go down a country road one day lol. Fitting the exhaust Saturday, my mate has one on his St, and sounds great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-mk8 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Look forward to hearing your review of that product Gommy. Might persuade me to de wiper my car. Problem with the mk8 is the spoiler is smaller so its easier for rain to get to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gommy Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The cars back with the Milltek fitted and sounds fantastic, nice and quiet just cruising, but when you floor it, having that gorgeous raspy Milltek sound is great. Will get videos after work. Also had two powerflex exhaust mounts fitted to the back box to avoid it hitting the diffuser, and the garage found a couple of bodged bolts on the cat, which have been replaced, great work from scc.

Gommy Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The cars mapped to maxd stage 1r with crackle, and sounds even better!

Gommy Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Sorry guys, just having far too much fun in the car now, the noise, how it pulls through the gears, it's fantastic, It's like a different car all together. Although sadly been through 120 miles of petrol in about 40 miles 😂 just can't get over how fast it pulls 2nd to 3rd and already doing 80 in a few seconds! Seeing 4.7mpg when you pull hard in second is sickening haha. I know I've got a crackle map but had a few pops earlier shifting from 2nd to 3rd and high end revs at 2nd, sounded awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just dream of driving a car like that. Excluding the economy though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gommy Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hammered my current brakes into the ground with the new map and heavy breaking.. So ordered some new brakes from EBC, premium standard disc and greenstuff pads for front and rear. Amazingly coming tomorrow after ordering yesterday, and will be done this weekend. Also got a nice shot of the car at work the other day : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
