Revo Releases Big Brake Kit Upgrade Kit

Improves stopping power under any condition!

Revo recommends increased braking performance any time you are adding more power to your vehicle. If you’re capable of achieving higher speed, your vehicle needs to deal with that speed safely and reliably.

The Revo by Alcon Big Brake Kit is engineered to improve your vehicles stopping power in any condition. Our Big Brake Kit is derived from race winning technology and capable of delivering consistent stopping power whether coming up to a stoplight or a 2nd gear corner at the end of a 140mph straight on your favorite track, you can rely on this system stop after stop!

Brake Calipers:

revo-disc

Revo by Alcon Calipers are cast from one piece of aluminum. The single casting design creates an incredibly stiff monoblock caliper. This monoblock design means significantly less flex in the caliper than other manufacturing processes and allows for less pedal travel as the brake fluid is only applying force to the Pistons and not flexing the body of the caliper itself. In short, more of your braking effort is translated directly from your foot, to the Pistons, to the pads and then to the rotors. This leads to improved and repeatable braking performance.

Floating Rotors:

A “Floating Rotor” design has been used all over the world in motorsport applications for many years. The rotors found on most race vehicles have too much float for a daily driven vehicle causing more noise than most would want from their road car. We have engineered a unique noise reducing method which eliminates noise while allowing for the thermal expansion associated with repeated high speed braking.

BENEFITS

  • Eliminates fade & warping
  • Quicker reaction time
  • Improved pedal feel
  • Lightweight
  • Lower long-term maintenance costs
  • Easy installation

TESTING

To ensure our brake kit would meet the constant high stress driving of track days, sprints and fast road driving we punished our kits to the maximum. Constant heavy braking testing was carried out to ensure no fade occurred back to back against stock braking system on our MK7 VW Golf R. As well as the track testing 10 runs of back to back 60-0mph and 100-0mph was done to show the benefit of the Revo braking system. As well as measuring the stopping distances and times over the 10 runs of each speed thermal testing was also done to show the difference in heat displacement over our 2 piece floating design against a factory 1 piece design

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers.  The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience.  So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf.  In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...
