HAHA - sorry couldnt resist
Iv read this thread, its a good ride, your car is very nice! keep up the good work! But seriously, nothing better then fitting something yourself :)
Just make sure you have a trolley jack/axel stands holding the bottom of the engine before you start undoing mounts :/

update

well the car has had a little treat over this week.
iv fitted some new plugs (ngk Laser Platinum heat rating 7)
these are a little cooler than oem plugs, bill said these should be better with the remap. my old ones were completly shot, its amazing i actually got half decent results on the rolling road with them tbh. i wonder what gains i would have now with these new plugs as the car feels 10x better. so much more throttle response.

i also fitted my ths dogbone mount today, no vibrations atall in the car, also the car stays completely flat when booting it, great mod imho.

and last but not least i fitted my new tear drop mirrors and they look the business over the old ones. they just looks so dam sexy when looking at them from inside the car.
overall the car has had a little treat this weekend, however i still have a slight fueling issue and im running out of ideas, next im going to fit a new fuel filter to see if that sorts it. its a real pain as vagcom doesnt pick up any faults but running block 032 its lossing 10% fuel.
silly cars.

here is some pics were you can just make out the new mirrors, sorry about the quality but my phone goes spass when taking pics in the dark




if anyone has any ideas about the fueling then please say so. i have fitted a new maf, n75 boost leak tested, new plugs and four new oem coil packs.

Looks real nice Sam, glad the dogbone mount is OK, I have been warned about using one due to vibration but this has given me hope!

Yeah the steering wheel and mirrors were a PITA to find. Stage 2 is really good m8, you will love it. In fact i have some interesting news for you. Today i fitted my green spring back into my dv, i added one shim and my car pulls alot better than it did with the yellow. When bill remaped my car he did it with the green and he said its was holding boost fine. But when we left he fitted the yellow. So now i have tried both the green with a shim is better.

superb example mate, looks really smart. this is the kind of level i would hope to achieve in a couple of years when funds and such allow.

love the rims aswell, i think they suit the car really well.

Nice Job :D
