    don't take this too hard mate! there could be a ton of reasons why it underperformed and may not represent the cars true Hp figure. you would expect to see 240 - 250 whp on the rev up though.

    i would say get all your mods sorted and go for a remap with Uprev or you can get my UTEC EMS for about the same money and unlock the cars true potential. I got a GT4 too and had all the same mod you want to go for ;)

     

    Hi there mate, (thanks again for the brake thread)

     

    Im interested in your statement about the utec unlocking the "true potential" of the car. I have a TT setup and was thinking whether i should take it out and go with uprev or retain it and find an authorised tuner to check it over for me etc.

     

    When you say 'unlock true potential' what do you mean exactly, can you quantify that, what exactly would the utec have over the uprev?

     

    Please dont take offence as thats not my intention, just trying to learn :)

    Wow, thanks for the great reply mate :) Very much appreciated, beyond what i expected TBH :):thumbs:

     

     

    RE rebuild: Its very good that they have a proper agents here that you can deal with and get parts from etc

     

    RE dust sheilds: When you say the kit is complete and replaces everything, do you mean they replace the OEM dust sheilds with new ones or retains them? aplogies i didnt understand. The handbrake bit sounds great.

     

    RE Fit: i want to keep a set of 18's for the track so im glad the 356mm with 8pot's fits.

     

    RE the superficial issue of colour :blush: : I was thinking of that sam yellow myself, do they offer that colour new?

     

    You mentioned you get some brake squeel from cold, how long does it take to go away? Do you think the copper grease trick will help?

     

     

    Sorry, more questions again, just doing research before parting with the cash :)

     

    thanks a lot, guess they have to go on the shortlist now :teeth:

    Thanks for the review GT4 Zed, very nice of you to take the time. :thumbs: And im glad your enjoying your mod.

     

    I have a couple of questions, i hope you dont mind:

     

    Was wondering if these calipers can be refurbished/rebuilt if the time comes?

    Also do you need to remove the caliper for a pad change, or just knock out the pins on the top and remove the pads?

    Do they retain the OEM dust sheilds and what about the handbrake?

    Do they fit under the OEM 18's/Rays?

    Finally do you know where they are manufactured, ie UK, Japan, States or Taiwan etc?

     

    Oh and did you find any negatives from running the huge rears in regards to brake bias/performance/stability? Is there a recommended rear upgrade do maintain the brake balance?

     

    Sorry for all the questions, i just cant find much info out there on them, if you know any other unbiased reviews out there i would appreciate a pointer, as i know you must have done your research.

     

    Thanks again mate :)

    Honestly, though many may not like to hear it, the right thing to do now is go back and inform him. If he charges you the differance, than pay it. That would be the right thing to do. :)

     

    Folllow up a bad deed with a good one, that will expiate it :thumbs:

     

    Even if we put everything aside just put yourself in his shoes, which im sure many of us have been in. ;)
