Title: More work to be done!!
Post by: Hurdy on 02 May 2008, 12:17

Well she's booked in at JBS Autodesigns:-

Eibach Pro street S coilovers (lowering 25mm)
Autotech lightweight ARB's
APR Torque arm insert
Rear 10mm spacers
Autotech fuel pump
Custom remap to suit all my bolt on parts

and a Forge Twintercooler :evil:

So I'm wondering what the output will be after it's done? :undecided:

All I need now are the TAROX brakes to arrive and she's just about there.

Still thinking about the LSD :wink: and some uprated injectors :undecided:

It wont be a VW soon with all those aftermarket parts!

Hurdy are you trying to turn your car into a GT-R ?  :wink:

LOL,

I think it is called the law of diminishing returns :grin: Once you get to a certain level of performance you need to spend much more in order to see a small increase in performance.

330bhp and a mountain of torque would be great, but I'd be happy with power around 320bhp+ and a similar torque level. The intercooler should mean that overheating and heat soak shouldn't be an issue and the suspension mods should be good for future trackdays :evil:

I'll have to see what the power does to the characteristics of the car before I make a decision on an LSD. :cool:

Rob, your car looks a bit sorry for itself :sad: Should look good with the new parts fitted though :cool:

Wow, seems like a case of "once you pop you can't stop!"  Those mods sound very tasty.  I've yet to mod a single part of my car.  Is this what happens once you start? :laugh:  Please let us know how you get on with the lsd if you decide to go for it - you can be our guinea pig :wink:  Looking forward to reading your opinions after the mods - sounds like its going to be a stonker!
