I would say you should get a Catback system with both silencers on. That would be a bit quieter for the baby but still give a nice grunt from the exhaust.

At low revs it runs reasonably sociable its only when hammered that it really opens up ! Thats why i like it so much it not overly noticable until when just general driving !

Weight saving for Gti Spring Festival

the spare wheel and rear seats are going aswell every little helps haha

How easy are the front seats to remove mate?

Really easy all you need is a spline bit think its m8 and its 4 cap heads holding it down, the passenger seat has 3 cables running into it and the drivers has 2 they're just push fittings they are a bit fiddly to get out on your own with holding the chair up and undoing the clips, but with help its a simple.

I found 12 pound under the seat rails that i couldn't get so i was made up.

Haha thanks mate. Need to take mine out to give it a good clean. Always a bonus when you find pennys aint it haha

Your car is looking awesome mate and the black on black looks amazing!

I'm just wondering if you could tell me where you got your Motorsport GTR black 24 from and how much did you pay for them?

Thanks,
Jac

I bought them unused from a private seller for 800 pound !

went down to the Gti spring festival on the weekend and got picked up the fasted in class on the quarter mile sprints and ran a 13.32 at best.

the third run down, was against the yellow ibiza who's won fastest in class the past two years and has held the record for fastest 1.4tsi quarter mile "Ibizaracebrake" and i now hold the record of 13.41.

i stripped out the rear seats but didn't bother with the passenger

This may sound like a stupid question,
but can you feel any difference in every day driving with the weight-shredding?

Not really its literally taking a tenth or two off a second of the time by improving the acceleration couldn't notice anything really, the only thing I could say is it makes the exhaust sound amazing echoing around the car haha might convert it and carpet out the boot first polo Gti van haha

setting the 1/4 mile record.

clean as f**k run that mate what was ya time

that was the 13.32 run was well impressed i did it against the record holder .

GTI spring festival trophy !
