Cool. I'll be bombing about in GSF van limited to 70mph unfortunately. Cost to much in the Leon lol.
Filled the tank. £70 of Vpower.
Also decided I'm going for stage2+ spec instead of buying a small track car
Will make some plans soon
Use the photobucket app on your phone. Take 5 mins to set up and you can upload any pic off your camera roll.

Got me service bits too. Just need to decide on oil now
then I can change the cambelt. Starting to get the modifying bug

Stage 2 +
Airtec FMIC
3inch Down Pipe
APR HPFP
IE HPFP Stud&Nut Kit
RS4 Fuel Pressure Valve

Haha I don't really know fully hahah.
High Pressure Fuel Pump and Runner Flaps Delete haaha TFSI technical stuff hahah
Pricey list. Lot more wonga then the 1.8T 20V lump tho lol
I have been running the autotech hpfp internals for months now without any problems. WeeG has been running his even longer and is making big power without any issues so that could be an option for you.
The earlier S3 cooler with the alloy ends is a good cooler for stage 2+ or if your wanting to spend more then the Eurojet and pro alloy coolers are seriously good. Both weeG and myself run those ones.
There a few options for the 3" dp, I have the miltek one with 100 cell sport cat. Betty has just fitted the BCS one which looks top quality.
I have the Sachs organic performance clutch with the standard dmf and its held up very well so far after 12 runs on the 1/4 mile and spirited driving lol.
I have the KW V3 coilovers and there superb. Brilliant handling with near standard ride comfort. So many adjustments as well.
It all depends on how far you want to go with it and what your gonna be using it for.

hey Awesome mod list!!! Im currently changing brakes on my K1, dont suppose you know what size the standard discs are front and back??? Cant find out anywhere.....
345mm front.....
286mm rears!
Thanks mucka. Maybe, different sorta car to the beeza I guess. Miss the Ibiza like mad, shell is still on me drive and I have list some where of what id need to put it back together with the bear minimum haha.
How's your Ibiza? Any further with it?
Wanna use the car for the odd track day and go around the Ring once a year lol.
Think I'll go for the miltek DP as I have a miltek cat back and still looking at the Airtec cooler as it seems a lot thinker than the S3 one.
Fuel Pump and clutch is my main worry now lol. I work near APR so might buy there pump tbh saves building one up aswell then.
The pumps are bloody expensive at £500+ for a 2nd hand jobbie. I paid £230 including fitting for my autotech and it hasn't missed a beat and does exactly what the big £££ ones do. That's a huge saving and the extra money you saved could be spent on something else. The miltek dp with decat is £400 the last time I asked.
Haha is it tempting to put it back together? Im not surprised that you miss it after all the work you did!
Em mine is coming along very slowly. Struggling to get time around work/decorating/daughter. But its getting there. Have the full interior out and up for sale, got a manual rack sitting, along with the uj, got my AGU head stripped and awaiting skim and rebuild then onto the reason its actually off the road again.. That manifold haha. But yeah, getting there.
You got any more nurburgring trips planned so far?

Yeah is tempting haha a lot of work tho haha.
