Been on here a while and never got round to a build thread on my old car. this won't be a build thread as such as most of what i would do has been done.
Anyway on sunday morning set off on a 4 hour trip from scotland down to halifax to buy ed30sam123 car, was a cracking day sun was out. anyway got there a bit late after being lost in the countryside.
Anyway got there after seeing sam waving us down as we were still lost so that was a bit of luck. I'm pretty sure he couldn't understand our thick scottish accents haha, anyway he couldn't of been nicer, was great dealing with you.
So off we set and with me never being in a dsg before, i ended up trying to push the clutch that wasn't there and i tested the brakes and done an emergency stop. poor women behind me nearly went in to the back of me. pulled out her way and i won't repeat what she shouted haha. my head just went down and accepted her abuse. then we got to a pub for some food and every stop on the way up the road i was running for the toilet, no offence to anyone in burnley but the food wasn't up to much.
Car drives great and the DSG sounds great on gear change. still getting use to it so not really wanting to have to much fun yet.

Got some black oz ultraleggera and 4 new michelin pilot sport 3 tyres to go on thursday.
Fit the H&R springs sam gave me.

Thinking of puting a THS intercooler on it but its just a maybe. pending if my car sells with mods on it, if not i will put it back to standard and use the THS.
Things in the future:
r32 style rear bumper and buy a new r32 exhaust system maybe go BCS.
