very nice ross, loving the updates. wish I had spent more time putting out some power on mine, but I was all about making it look pretty :D

now stop f**king about an get an APR FMIC fitted

Yeah im the opposite, Looking pretty can wait....I want the power and handling first  :evil:

As im staying stage 1 for at least a year (saving for a clutch) i think a FMIC is a bit down on the mod list. Really needs a brakes upgrade next i think. Standard GTI's one are quite poor under heavy braking.

Very interested in this! it was upgrade the gti or start saving up for the new R. lol

Ha ha that;s exactly what I'm saying to myself. Keep and mod or get an R at the 3 year mark!

Well its gonna cost a fair bit more to upgrade the car to the R. anyone want to donate some money for the R. lol!

These sexy little engine mounts turned up today !!! Both VibraTechnics / VWR brand.

I thought in the picture they looked good, but I cant express enough how heavy (in a good way) and quality these mount are.

Picked them up with just 3000 miles on them, so they have been nicely bedded in for me. As you can see they look brand new with no signs of wear at all. Everybody says how mint they are and what a difference they make. These combined with SuperPro's A.L.K and VWR subframe mount should really help put the power down and give so much more feel up front.

Be interested to hear how much more NVH you get with those mounts installed.

Yeah i really do, standard shocks are poop

Well they are all second hand, so at least i will miss out on most of the NVH. But should be a good gain in grip and feel
