It was stani540 I think, I remember reading it. It was another mpi engine.

Got a little parcel today,
A couple more expected this week.
I also gave the car a much needed wash and took of the tints. I much prefer the OEM clean look. Money wasted but I guess you learn.
I will take a photo of my engine bay when it is done.
Thanks for reading,

Another box..
Oil catch.
I was thinking about going down the performance cams route but money is maybe a problem atm. From what I have heard it is worth it. I would also be getting it chipped.
The stance probably need sorted first though...

Got some proper lowering material today
Just missed out on some RS6 seats the other day
Had no idea how I was going to fit them though..
I promise I will get some pics up when coils fitted. My car is so dirty at the moment it doesnt seem worth it, thanks for reading!
For now: (before coilovers)

Good question, its difficult because next monday to wednesday I need the car mobile. I was planning on fitting them this weekend but that would leave me no time for tracking.
I want to try and fit them in my lunch break during this week, but dont think it will happen. In other words dont hold your breath
