Thanks JV  :smiley:

Hi there guys, My names Lee and this is my First ever Vw golf im a big lover of french cars (dont ask me why lol) But i got offered this 1.8T off of a mate for cheap so i Thought why not lol I always did like the car as soon as he brought it. Ive owned it for about 2 months now and i have loved every minute of it, The current spec of it stands at

AGU engine
R32 HID headlights
R32 Front brakes
Forge Recirc Valve
Audi TT wheels

Over the time of me owning it i will be doing interior/exterior and changes to the ecu/engine side of things.
Here are some pics of the car how i bought it.

fairly happy with the way its sitting, If i was to be fussy i'd say the front would need to go down a little more but overall im pleased :) Now its time to look for a nice exhaust system :D

Hey people Been a while but ive got a small update. Ive picked up 2 important parts for my build and that will be a K03s Turbo which came off of a 02 plate 60k cupra(http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab43/saxovtr18/P1000430.jpg) Here she is, in which i paid a total of JUST £130 :p
also i picked up a new Silicon TIP (http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab43/saxovtr18/P1000431.jpg) No its not a Forge but its made by Viper Performance and tbf the quality is second to none!

Hopefully i will receive my milltek exhaust next week and then its just the Case of purchasing a THS intercooler, Then servicing the car before making a trip up to R-tech :D

Testing the water it this may be up for sale as I'm swaying towards purchasing a ibiza cupra...
I will be putting it back up on the ramps tomorrow to check the boost problem. I KNOW it is something very minor so as it is without the Decat i want £1200 no offers. I could break it for a lot more but don't have the space. If I fix the boost problem I want £1500 for it.
