Very nice sounding plans you have there Illyun!

Still planning on getting a GTR sometime in the future??

Yup.. although it depends on finances and this year isn't looking too good  :scared:

Car is looking great and should be going great with all the additions you have made in such a short space of time. Once you have finished yours you will be bolting a turbo onto your misses R32  :grin:

Great mods and write up illyun, i would say your on a slippery slope, i'd say you parachuted out of a plane into the modding world !  :grin:  8) 

If i still had my ed.30 i would have done very similar mods to yours !

Unfortunately the parachute got tangled and I hit the ground a lot harder than expected...  :chicken:

Anyways... I'm carrying on with where I left off with the modding plans and while I thought I was running out of mods to do, people like JonnyC have put that silly notion to rest.  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:  Plans for this year are.... in order of application...
Power/handling/comfort
1.  Sound proofing the floor, boot and doors from Ipswich Car Radio
2.  Top Mounts from VWR
3.  Polybushes all round from JKM
4.  DSG Remap
5.  APR Remap or Stage 2+ Revo if things are sorted on that front regarding the fuel pressure sensor.
6.  JonnyCs Custom Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake to replace the EVOMS.  I did initially buy the carbon fibre EVOMS kit he has for sale, but then was offered his custom kit instead  :jumpmove:
7.  Brake conversion - should have done this first really but I don't drive too enthusiastically on public roads  :innocent:  :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
8.  Twintercooler


Next year

Weight Saving
9.  Matching carbon fibre mods - for the bonnet, rear hatch, wings, wing mirrors and maybe doors  
10. Braille battery
11.  Lightweight alloys

If you're eventually going down the weight saving route in the future - why are you getting more soundproofing that will easily weigh a darn good few kilos to then spend quite a lot of hard earned in CF panels which will inturn save you a few meagure kilos ? ? ?

I know what you are saying Gareth, but you obviously haven't sat in an Ed30 with the VWR Solid Aluminum Track Day engine mounts  :grin: :grin: :grin:  Its LOUD!  The weight saving is in part to offset against a weight gain due to the soundproofing material  :happy2:
