Didn't fit the top mounts, just tightened a few bolts and nuts here and there :D

Top mounts were in good nick, so no need to change them.

Anyway, time to go!

I reckon change that white grille badge. As you have this shiny shiny show like paint going on, then with yellow lights, white badge and pink wheels. Looks a bit odd as no theme except madnesss? Just my thoughts, lol

Agreed, it does look patchwork bonkers.

Very nice car though.

I reckon the VW badge has gotta be pink or the wheels have gotta go white.

:D Car has changed since the last piccies. Here is the pic I posted on FB.



Oh and for those that saw it today. The coolant leak seems to have gone and after speaking to the guys there, its probably lost that little bit of power because of 1. the sh!te intercooler and 2. fluctuation in the boost. After a little more inspection, I need to upgrade my DV :D thought it was fine, but need the 007p with the yellow spring.

So yeah, was down on power. Kicked out 230bhp. At first I was devastated, but after gaining the above info, felt much better. Its amazing how much heat soak affects the bhp, went down to like 220bhp by the last run!

So more on the list:
- Forge 007p + yellow spring
- Custom FMIC

I'm happy with how it looks now, stance is set. Just wanna spruce up the interior and sort the boot out and then who knows! Will look into upgrading the coilies to something a little nicer, fed up with cheapy sh!t that breaks. The front drivers coilover seems to have packed in already and its only a few month's old!

I'm actually shocked JKM didn't run the cars with the bonnet open, especially on the turbo cars. I'm sure if they had run them with it open everyone would have seen a few more peak HP.
