Looks cool man, whats it like with the non res pipe on?

It's louder but not loud enough, so i'm gonna get a custom back box made to unleash some more noise It's not all about noise though, the car seems to pull better with the non res on it has definately made a noticable difference.

Hiya where did you get your wipers from ? Can't seem to find ones to fit ?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

They are mk4 golf aero wiper arms and blades, they were on the car when i bought it.

The milltek back box is 3" i had to get a 3" exhaust clamp yesterday. I've been quoted £170 for a custom backbox from a local exhaust place which i thought was abit pricey gonna try a few other places before i decide.

Replace milltek backbox with a custom one
New tints all round
Get winter tyres for my standard wheels, ready for when the snow hits.
New bosch aero wiperblades
Hookup the lights in my s3 airvents.

Try midlands exhausts, they did mine and it sounds the nuts. Tell them the Team GTR boys recommended you and he should be able to cut you a deal

Funnily enough that's who quoted me

Haha cheeky sods tell them to sort it out lol

Just a little update.

Car is booked in for a replacement turbo as mines screeching like a goodun and is down on power.

Here's the current state of the blades.

 

[t0m]

What sort of screeching are you getting under what load?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yep it's under load, checked all the obvious hoses for leaks and found nothing. When i had the conrods replaced by Midland VW they said take it easy as the turbos on its way out, that was around 9months ago now

Lol I think I remember reading something about your turbo in this thread quite a while ago..

Good to get it done though mate.

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yes it's well overdue

A little update on what ive been upto. I was planning on integrating an ipad into my dash but I changed my mind and started this little project.

I bought a new pioneer HU, which has app mode support. So basically with my iphone hooked upto it I can watch tv, listen to TuneInRadio app and stream movies/music from my home server also watch Youtube and Vevo videos. Oh and with the MotionX gps app it'll show the GPS on screen.

So I decided I wanted my iphone in a place on the dash, I looked at iphone incar holders but I didn't like the idea of wires trailing everywhere and hated the look of all the cradles i'd seen.

Here is my progress so far.

Mockup made from modelling foam.

Then Fibre glassed it

Still need to bond the phone mould and holder togethter then bond it to the centre console. Then the fun begins with sanding filling sanding filling

All quiet then BAM "I'm going to custom fit this to that and it's going to be mega"

You do not do things the easy way do you, can't wait to see this.

Also what's the spec of H/U looks very good

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Lol I've been saving up to get my turbo replaced, its booked in for the 24th so can't wait for that to be sorted.

The HU is the avh-5300dvd model.

It's not been easy to do but will be another one off, I got loads of ideas for the car it's just having the time to do them.

 

[JamesL]

Wow, just read through your thread.

Cracking looking car and cracking mods, you've got some great skills!

 

[big eck]

Fantastic work mate. Lots of custom homemade stuff on this. You'd make a small fortune selling those parts.
