nice setup... be sorted when its hanging tight... jelous of your polisher!... wanna do the lips on my wheels!?  how much was it?

It's just a basic polisher/buffer from amazon, nothing too fancy i just don't want to be doing it all by hand! need to bring the paint work out a bit!

Get the Powerflex ones from Venom, they are excellent!

I've heard good things about them, but i'm more then happy with the sound and looks of the Scorpion  :cool: Just that picture it looks funny!  :undecided:

Was outside the chinese Saturday night when i passer by commented on the car, he said i had a nice car and was being sincere!  :shocked:

Think he meant Powerflex bushes. And yes, I can vouch for them ... especially for the rear bushes, they are very hard wearing! and the fact it costs so much to change the rears at a garage, your better of fitting the best quality, first time round!

I'm glad you picked up on that! i misread it for Powerflow! Yeah powerflex bushes are on my to do list. Going to go for the entire car kit, which i'm asumming has the exhaust bushes too?

Missed the post man yesterday, so went to collect today...this is my next bit of goodies to go on...

Mmmmmm SUCTION!!!





Hopefully it will give me some time to tidy up the engine bay as well. Get the VW badge painted on the engine cover. It is all colour coded at the moment but you can't see it in the pictures!

Will be on tomorrow and going to sound awesome! Might polish the TB whilst i'm at it??

More updates to follow tomorrow!!!  :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:


Oh on another note, popped it off the limiter with the new exhaust on and a little bit of sex wee came out!

Your gonna be spendin loads on fuel coz the noise is so addictive, i should no, had a bmc cda on mine and it was awesome.

Just don't fit that cold air feed directly to the end of the cda or you will hardly get any induction roar!!!

I've not been able to get a flush fit with the induction kit, but it does sound awesome!! So i've ordered an 89mm silicon hose coupler. When that is done, i should be good to go  :cool:

89mm was way too big! so standard box is back on, i have ordered 80mm and 83mm (they seem to be the only sizes available. Getting them from a site called www.siliconhoses.com have to say they are a very well produced hoses! also cheap! :afro:

83mm Hose fits nice and snugly, going to put the kit back on this lunch time  :smiley:

Not sure if i should run the cold air feed or not? Don't want to lose the sound  :evil: but i don't want hot air.... :undecided:

BWAAAAAAP BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

VR6 induction noise is the greatest.


I don't think a semi will give the same results
