Good good, the friend of mine with the M5 also has a Supercharged VR6 Golf, all stripped out, polycarb windows, jungle jim etc, with DS3000's, squeal like crazy but they stop him well when warmed up (on 2 piece AP Brakes too).

:D

I can't remember off the top of my head bud, they weren't dear. Bought them from AwesomeGTi, need to buy the steering rack, subframe and rear beam bushes soon too.

Current Plans are:

Fit Brakes
Get new Tyres after next track day (before the 'Ring)
Buy and install WOT Box
Buy and install Oil Cooler.

I'd put buying and fitting a baffled sump before fitting a WOT box.
Not keen on these boxes TBH.
With stiff engine mounts and a good clutch gear changes can be done VERY quickly and smoothly, obviously not as quick as the electronics can allow you.
A WOT box would be bottom of my list, but its good to be different as you have copied everything else I'm doing, lol
Joke ;)

Haha,

The list isn't in any order really. A Diff from Wavetrac I need to sort too, but that will be mega money as I'd get some work done on the Gearbox too.
Hadn't thought about a baffled sump you know, maybe worth a bit of research too.

aaaaaaaaaaand... you're copying me :p joke ;)

The Baffled Sump... Any issues with fitting? or is it literally as easy as unbolt the old, bolt in the new?

How do you find the Quaife Diff? I've heard they can be a bit snatchy?
I don't have a Quaife I have the Autotech Wavetrac, and its seamless. If you didn't know it was there you could never tell. These are the new generation of diffs, Quaife is a bit dated now.

Baffled sump is not fitted yet but as its second hand it has been fitted and with no issues. I have changed my sump before due to stripped threads, was piece of piss.

RobDon says the BDM one is the only one and hes seen a few

Ah I see Willie, I've been keeping an eye on Wavetrac, will look into getting one direct from them (or through a friend I know who can get decent discount).

I'm going to try and sort tyres and cooling before the 'Ring trip, the rest is a summer thing I reckon.

Crafoo, you're more than welcome, visiting times are between 7:00pm and 7:01pm during the week :p
They're still chilling on the sofa, they look brilliant :D proper works of art in my eyes :D

Sump is just a case on unbolting the old one, swapping the level sensor into the new one, and bolting on the new one with some silicone round the edge of it.
