Been on the Forum over the last year but never got round to posting up much about my own car.

Here's some recent picks





























Current spec is as follows

Miltek cat back
Forge FMIC
4Bar FPR
Panel Filter
PD160 Intake
Super Pro dogbone bush
Custom remap, RR 215.6BHP

Eibach Prostreet Coilovers
Short ARB droplinks
Anthracite Speedline Turinis
Vent pod boost gauge

I also have a set off 312mm calipers, disk and pads from a tt that I have just rebuilt ready to go on.

Next will be poly bushes all round and upgraded anti roll bars.

looks so clean dude i think it!

would you be willing to sell your brakes on when you change them? im after a GTI set.

Well when I had it mapped we did a log run on Vag com before and after the map.

Standard in fourth gear it did 1500rpm to the redline in 25s

Mapped it did it in 14s that's 11s quicker so it's a fair difference lol.

Once mapped the brakes really aren't up to the job hence why I have a 312mm set up ready to go on.

Handling wise it's not bad, slightly understeer prone, thats why I want to do poly bushes and the rear ARB as a minimum to tighten things up.

215bhp is more than enough, maybe in future I'll pull the CAT out.

Poly bushings the lower engine mount is one of the best mods I've done and a must if your getting it mapped, pretty cheap too.

where are u getting the polybushes from. do u think mine will make slightly more power as ive got the miltek sports cat? what springs have you got on as it sits really nice? did u get springs and shocks?

Probably get the poly bushes from JBS or Awesomegti. Yeah if your get the correct shiz then your car will probably make more power. Probably around 230bhp.

BHP figures are for the pub tho. Torque and power delivery is really where it's at!

Looks great. Love the wheels, and the ride hight is spot on. How do you find the Eibach's? What tires are you running?

Cheers,

Eibachs are really good, not cock solid like your FKs. They are comfortable for day to day driving and stif enough for some spirited driving. The Shocks are manufactured by KW so they are also very good quality.

I just Yokohama Parada Spec2s, they are superb in the dry but not the best in the wet. Think next time I will go back to Toyo T1Rs as they are a better all rounder.
