ECS Tuning Releases Big Brake Kits for Mk7 Golf and Golf GTI

Through in-house product testing and performance validation, the design team at ECS Tuning have put together affordable Big Brake Kits (BBK) for your MK7 Golf / GTI. The fronts, utilizing Genuine Volkswagen brake calipers from the MK5 R32 or B6/CC VR6 4Motion, you can instantly bolt on better braking and have confidence in the performance and reliability that these kits provide.

ECS 2-piece, semi-floating, slotted and cross drilled rotors are available. These rotors optimize the dispersion of heat, and feature lateral vibration dampening and considerable weight savings, for smooth, strong stops. Maximum weight savings over a standard one piece rotor are achieved due to the lightweight aluminum hat and 2 piece construction for a total reduction of 18.75 lbs combined for the fronts and 5.30 lbs combined for the rears, as compared to a standard one piece cast rotors.

With the ECS 345x30mm Front Big Brake Kit, the brake pad is moved further outboard from the center of the hub, thereby improving braking system torque, heat transfer and repeatable, high speed stopping. Compared to the original Golf’s 288x25mm or GTI’s 312x25mm brake rotors, it’s clear to see why the ECS BBK offers immediate improvements!

The ECS Rear Big Brake Kits convert the solid 272x10mm discs to ventilated 310x22mm discs for overall improved performance. To prevent brake pad deposits and reduce fade, ECS GEOMET® slotted or cross drilled and slotted rotors are available. Cross-drilling dissipates heat faster for better braking and reduced fade. Slotting cleans the pads by moving water, gasses, and contaminants away from the pad/rotor contact surface to further enhance braking performance.

To prevent rust pitting and corrosion damage, ECS GEOMET® rotors are sprayed with a special water-based solution, then heated to cure the coating and remove all oil residue remaining from the manufacturing process. These added steps create a durable, lasting rotor surface that resists road salt, solvents and other corrosives.
772550_x800
For 100% bolt on performance, ECS Exact Fit Stainless Steel brake lines have been custom fitted for each kit. Stainless reinforced brake lines provide more confident and dependable stopping by maintaining consistent brake pressure, long lasting corrosion resistance, and increased protection from failure compared to stock rubber lines.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
