Get some decent fluid and you'll be fine - my first trip over in the MK5 was on the standard brakes and pads, and I didn't die.
Sideways yo!

Advanced modding disease requires an advanced solution.....

Weight loss from the car
Turbo upgrade


Have you already got ARB's, WALK, Catch can, Lightweight alloys, fully cornerweighted set-up, engine and transmission mounts?

^^^^
I tend to agree with Hurdy but it does depend on what each individual wants from their car. I wouldn't bother with ICE etc and I'd definitely do performance and handling mods first. Same applies to detailing - Nice to do but not a priority for me.

Hence why we have such an extensively varied range of modded cars on this forum.

I had forgotten about the WALK kit, been meaning to get one for a while.. Thinking about just getting the lower engine mount, I think that will be enough for me  :smiley:

Loads of stuff mate !

1) BBK
2) intercooler
3) Coilovers
4) RNS 510
5) WALK
6) Engine mounts
7) ARBS
8) Wishbone bushes
9) Styling - Got to agree a CF bonnet would look the nuts.

But you will know yourself how far and how much money you want to spend   :wink:

I fancy a sat nav actually, the mfd2 can be had quite cheap now and will improve the dash a bit...


Dont buy the old fashioned one! £275 gets you my RNS-510  :happy2:

I've just fitted my 10mm spacers to the rears, looks soo much better ! I had left them off initially as the wheels are 8x18 et 45 and I thought that would be enough, but the rears always looked to be sat too far in the arch... Solved haha, just hope they don't rub  :confused:
