140bhp to 200bhp? You'll definitely feel that! Nice motor this.

Yeah it's an immense improvement :) Probably won't bother with a stage 2 as I have to bare in mind it's a 1.4l engine  :laugh:

I spent a bit of time giving her a fresh wax and polish and I'm really happy with it :) my first time using dodo juice shampoo also and I'm very impressed with it all :)


My mechanics mini - 600bhp hayabusa engine in... Fully custom dash - the whole works

Six hundred?! I'm not up on bikes but that must be a turbo conversion? Or two Hayabusa engines?!

How the hell does he get the power down?

It's been 4wd swapped and all sorts, properly smart engineering there!

In unrelated news some one manages to do this outside my house today





And I've gone from the standard gt sport black plastic trim


To the brushed aluminium look which matches the mk7 gear knob and handles a lot better

Drunk driver? :confused:

I've also replaced those black plastic trims in my GT Sport. They look much better! :drinking: Bought new parts from VW since I couldn't get used parts without any damage. Pricey...

Can you post a couple more dash pics of the door trims? I've also thought of doing this to my car to lift the interior but yeah, pricey unless you get lucky! Looks good!!

@shoduci I think it was an elderly driver and something didn't go well medically is the story! But no one was serious hurt.

And @LondonGT I will today when I go to work buddy - I got a set of eBay rear right passenger side was a bit scratched but I can cope and I paid 30 so it's all good

Need som advice really concerning space saver wheels...

So I've got some decent brakes fitted which are larger then my originals by some distance which is great in everyway apart from The fact my space saver tyre no longer fits over the brakes.



Which is currently an issue as I have a puncture and an important work meeting tomorrow which I'll have to figure out but- is there any way of buying a bigger space saver that will work?

I did think about doing that, I don't mind swapping wheels about too much and I need my entire boot because on the odd occasion I do private work I need my tools in the boot!

Cheap way of removing them

Had my new ebach sportline springs fitted with the blistien b4 shocks today!! I expect the springs to settle a bit more but I'm so happy with the results! And the car is giving the impression at least of being more planted!









In other news gave the exhaust tips a smarten up! And cleaned the engine bay a tad :)
