Use cossie disks, as they sit in further, and just space the calipers in to suit.

the car is taxed again now, so took it out for a little blast, definiatly sounds quieter now, so thats a good thing
afr gauge is looking a little lean to me , so not sure if its the gauge or the map as now it has a 2.5" exhaust
aft was looking around 12.9 from 5500 or onwards, below that it's 12.5
certainly picks up better and pulls well, stack dash now has a peak of 142 and was still pulling (private road test)

Love the car! You certainly get your use out of it too.

A lad I know has a 205 with gti 180 engine and that's now supercharged. He says it's VERY quick.
I may see you out at a trackday soon enough in my little 106..

Gotta love small pugs with a blower

Had a feeling youd know the one.
Im using a few bits from his old supercharged s1 xsi in my 106.

Was the stack dash easy enough to wire up?

He was only on itb's last year so was a litter quicker than him , now he's be faster than mine

Stack was pretty easy, you just need to for vdo sensors ad that's it

Speedo sensor needs bracket made up and fuel tank needs calibrating
