Thanks matey Still need to swap the adapter for one that allows MFSW and need arial adapter but I only use USB with my tiiiiny 8GB usb stick and i hae a remote so im good for now.

Wasnt easy mate haha, surface mounted LEDS intracate stuff, thats after identifying and carefully removing the original ones, a bit of electronics savy, a multi meter and a steady hand....




Like I say ^ The main bit of the job is soldering. I had a guide (in spanish ) that helped Ill try and dig it out. Removal of the panel is easy enough

Yeah, I got quoted about £50-60 for the steering wheel adaptor and I just bought the aerial adaptor, £15 I think from my local audio shop. If you have a stubby aerial on the car you may find reception isn't as good now

I bought an arial adapted, it was amplified and seemed ok but thought I never use the radio so exchanged it for a tool i needed. I have the short citron ariel like

Mike who is the boost gauge holder coming from to hold the new south gauge?
is it for the 52mm version? and do you know how much it will cost?
i already have a new south gauge and have made a holder but would like to see pics of the bespoke made one to see how it looks.

Thanks mate

Fitted soon....

Would be very interested to know your thoughts on the WALK kit. Hopefully it will help eliminate the dreaded wheel hop scenario

I had the VWR loan golf gti and got to test the diff in that. Would be happy with that one from there or a Quaiffe from Awesome. Dependant on price and where abouts in the country I am at the time....

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Looking awesome Mike I see you got all the bits to your radio that you needed then One of the best mods I've done. Quick question, how easy were those lights behind the C/C unit to change? They look the dogs in white

Danny.

Can you do a diy guide on the climate control illumination? it looks great! soldering involved?

Willie has been looking at the wavetrack diffs. Supposed to be a step on from the likes of Quaiffe and Peolquin.

Any one with stage 2+

What is the likely hood of wheel spin dropping 6th to 5th and puttin the power down or 5th to 4th and powering down?

On hard acceleration occasionally getting a judder and now and again slight rise in revs

Had the Sachs clutch plate fitted with my existing pressure plate and a new dal mnass flywheel. Cant afford to be damaging or prematurely wearing the new bits!!!

Is the judder likely to be wheelspin, or cutch slip???

In the dry mine doesnt spin in 5th. I presume you have esp off?

What grooved discs are you looking at?

I hate xmas, means no mods for the car

Sounds more like clutch slip. Unless you have poor tyres / low tread / ice / heavy standing water (but then if you had inclement weather you wouldn't go WOT )

Goodyear assymetrics slightly worn on inside addmitedly and towards en of thier life.
No ice or standing water, possibly damp or greasy occasionally.

Concerned its going to wear quickly

what is your clutch rated at?

Good question, I made the garage aware of the power I have so Im confident they considered that when selecting the clutch like

 

[Al]

My standard clutch never does anything untoward and i never have revs do anything they shouldnt, like what you mentioned above. I have been in a mapped MK2 Leon Cupra with no other mods that did though, again on standard clutch.
