[h7 cya]

you allright mate car looks ace! how do you find it now you have lowered it 50mm is it still quite pracrtical?

 

[TimJK]

yep mate totally practical.... other than multi storeys, but no worse than before as never could do them.

 

[TimJK]

Well after having my wheels re-sprayed 3 times in anthracite and them peeling, i now am half way through them being sprayed black, I wanted the guy to start from scratch as fed up with them peeling and flaking off so went for the colour change, had two done today and will be getting the other two done when he is next at work on wednesday. Pics to follow

 

[RS6]

sounds good matey can't wait for pics

 

[TimJK]

First clean of the year, and black wheels now

Car looks ace matey looking forward to seeing how it turns out and if you reach 300bhp. but like the guy iv quoted below said is there anyway to get power down better if it does start to lose traction and spin all the power away.

Sounds good to me then. i have the money to go bigger turbo route now, but i dont know where to start looking for one, or how to go about it? Mines runnin 265 bhp and im bored of that lol!
Ill keep an eye out for a universal FMIC then, sounds good to me. Trying to get prices for manifold back exhaust system, as ive already got miltek cat back, want the full setup!

bored of 265bhp you must be a mad man lol im rolling with 125bhp haha hoping to upgrade to the premier league of the cupra R by the end of the year though.

Where yu get the gauge's from?

 

[TimJK]

Boost gauge was from halfords mate

 

[TimJK]

Well... now have all wheels gloss black not just two! lol

and i have painted my wing mirrors gloss black also.... infact 4 times!

I ordered a dog bone engine mount aswell... but thanks to someone on ebay he conned me also a powerseller... and i won the money back so will get another ordered soon

 

[L17KKE]

Well mines simply... Bailey DV30, Green Panel filter in a drilled box and a jabba sport stage 2 remap mate. made 235bhp standard, now 272bhp.

 

[cap r 225]

I always thought you needed a Full exhaust system to go Stage 2 Tim? Is this not the case with Jabba then?

 

[TimJK]

Nope jabba will do the best with what you've got, i have mapped out my second lamda too so when i do go decat i wont have to worry, and will get an exhaust sooner or later

 

[cap r 225]

Evey day's a school day

 

[TimJK]

Well I really should start taking pics, I have now fitted a new shape s3 gear knob, De-cat pipe, Dog bone engine mount, carried out a wheel alignment and replaced my fuel filter was it was leaking.

 

[TimJK]

here we go, decided to clean it.

 

[KatCowie]

Love the black mirrors!

 

[turbo009]

Agree with Kat,black mirrors look good,so would a black roof

 

[TimJK]

Yup I want to go black roof when i get some spraying done, also need to spray bonnet and bumpers because of millions of chips.
