Skoda Modifications

Yea, the 18in wheels have about an inch or so to the front brake caliper.
Ill keep an eye out and see what I can find.
I might measure the distance from the centre line of the Hub to the brake caliper.

Ask at BriSkoda.

17" should fit on the 330mm (??) fronts. I know for a fact that 16" fit on the old 312mm fronts of the Mk2 vRS.

Good Plan brad, as they all fit winter wheels

I was more so pointing out the gap (or lack of) like the pictured below.

It's a piggy back unit for the ecu, and increases the hp/torque.

How are you and Ferret getting on with the JB4? Have you done any logging/tuning with George @ BMS?

[HPRS230]

Has anyone done a fuse tap in a mark 3 Oct?
After power while ignition on. Only ones I can find is
clutch/start stop - mini
Rear wiper - normal size

But you can't get a fuse tap as other larger fuse type things are in the way.

Any help cheers


Edit:
Seems like spot 48 (not assigned) might work. Will keep you posted

Edit 2:
Yip that seems to work.

Photos in timeline later

Mine had been on map 2 for a 1000k's now no issues - we have a drive day coming up shortly at Lakeside where I can finally log some 4th gear wot pulls to get logs and map 6 customised

I haven't sent any logs to BMS as I'm still waiting for the lambda plugs. I've got a road lined up for testing lol

RS230 update if you don't follow my time line.

JB4 logs sent to BMS, without the air/fuel ratio wire tap, said it was a bit rich, but to be expected I guess as it doesn't know.

Got video in motion enabled and ordered a wireless kit.

Lambda plugs arrived so made a jump loom for AFR, installed wireless kit.

Did another set of logs and sent to BMS with AFR. AFR is now closer to the 14s which is about right.

I've also just ordered a DTE pedal box module (ex Germany/197.23 Euro) and should have Friday or early next week.

Booked for dyno runs on Wednesday as well
Bring on the track day!

Sorry for delay.

vRS TSI front brakes are now 340mm (Mk7 Golf R) - there are some, very rare but some, 17" wheels that fit on the Golf R. These are the ones you should be looking for.
16" steel wheel was supplied for the spare on the Mk2 vRS because of the 312mm front brakes shared with the Golf GTI - but this is no longer an option.
VW does not make a 5x112 17" steel wheel.

I did the JB1 module and used the custom map to have a progressive boost curve - maxing out at +4psi between 4000 and 5000rpm.

Another good mod was the OBDEleven module. Besides convenience mods such as enabling Traffic and auto-close on the boot I also reduced the XDS, reduced torque steer compensation, changed the traction control to allow fully "Off" and reduced the rear brake on turn-in. The reducing torque steer compensation definitely brought some more feel to the steering and made it a nicer car in my opinion.
