Brake upgrade and remap

[Mandy]

I have booked my VXR in to Thorney Motor Sport for a full Miltek system and the guy at Thorney has suggested a stage 2 remap. Just wondering what everyone thinks of the differance and if i need to upgrade my brakes. Bad news is the earliest they can do it is mid July , good news is just in time for BTCC :P

Stage 2? Hell yeah!!!
I have a stage 1 and WOW!!! You'll certainly noticed the difference...changes the car and makes it better believe it or not! If you are not aware...a stage 2 is stage 1 but with the full Milltek. TMS also provide a tweaked map too.
As for the brakes...I'm not sure. I have had the remap for a while now and I don't *think* the brakes are necessary...the standard ones are pretty good. A few times they have worried me a bit though...so unsure. I'm sure John (TMS) or Dave (VPC) can advise more on that. However, if I had the money for them, I probably would get them!

Well Jon was doing a good job in making me want it, and i think with that remark you said about the brakes i will go for the stage 2.
My mate has a Focus RS which he claims has 280bhp, as long as i can whoop his **** i will be happy.

Hi Mandy, go for the whole lot, ive had the stage two and booked in for stage 5 suspension and brake upgrade at end of month, so now go faster, handle better and stop in time, oh! and the milltek still gives me a big ol grin every time my right foot twitches.

The more i hear, the more i like

Its all good, if you think the cars an animal out of the box. Add a few tweaks and you can really feel what its capable of.
Oh and thorney motorsport is highly recommended, they treat the car like you would.

Well Jon made me feel like a friend on the first call, and he's sure i will be happy.

Yep Jons a nice bloke and luckily for me im only ten minutes away.
Since having the stage two, all i seem to do is brake, keep catching other cars to quickly, thats the main reason i am upgrading the brakes, just so i dont climb into the boot of the car in front. :? . a worthwhile investment, if not straight away.

I'd doubt you'll get any comments back....not in 3 days. It'll take at least 5 days for the jaw to recover from being wacky on the ground!!!

[m4rtc]

lol
I hope by the time i reach home the Jaw will have fully recovered. Ill probably need ear plugs for the long journey home

Looking forward to meeting you all in person.
Brakes are a bugbear at the moment, we're waiting but keeping keen
