    Most underrated engine is the Octavia Tdi. Easy 16 to 20kmpl mileage and does 210~220kmph without breaking a sweat.

    My stage 1 tuned Octi1.8 really feels very planted at silly speeds.
    The Bilstein B6 struts &
    the Michelin PS4 really helps put the power down properly.

      Yep, those Bilsteins must be making a world of difference. I'm on Sachs dampers with Euro Spec Springs, it's too soft and has too much body roll in the corners. Plus, with all that power, I need to lower it to make it more stable.

    I would say remove the Venom tune and go for a milder tune, yes the horsepower will drop down but it would be usable horsepower. Remember in Initial D when Ryosuke bumped down the power of his FC from 340 to 260 because that amount of power is unnecessary? The same thing is happening here, put a Stage 2 tune and it would be more usable and not slide around

    • @SohamSaraf
      @SohamSaraf Рік тому

      Boss, the horsepower is not the problem 🤦. It is the torque curve that is creating loads of wheelspin in lower RPMs and that is because of the turbo mainly, not the tune. The IS20 turbo is known for low end power delivery thus creating this issue.
      I will have to switch to an IS38 which will give me a more linear torque curve and also more power at the same time but that means I'll have to get a HPFP and many other supporting mods

    The problem you are facing the octy getting all over the road while applying the brakes is the brake setup which you are running get back with oem or change the brake setup you are running because oem brakes on point but he disk wears out and after some time it has a coller or a lip on edges where brake pads (brake pad material is very hard) aren't touching. I have driven octavia with stock oem brakes they are very good after getting aftermarket brakes the car gets all over the place on high speed it looses the confidence of the driver themself.

    • @SohamSaraf

      I'm not facing any problem with braking bro 😅. My brakes are fantastic, the car is going all over the road while accelerating at full throttle.

    Speakers if I am not wrong inside a car are a passive unit, so I don't understand how it can't be compatible with any head unit
    Or there is some DSP in between which is not compatible with the other head unit wrt connectors being different, etc ?
