Welcome, not far - there is a meet at coombe lodge in croydon if you ever fancy it, would be good to have you along sometime just keep a eye out in the meet section for updates.

If you dont mind me asking how much/hard/was involved with the k04 upgrade? did you map straight afterwards?

Thanks for the welcome  :wink:

I ditched the ko4 conversion and Gti engine in favour for a low mileage S3 engine which obviously comes with a Ko4 as standard, It's been fitted for 5 months now without any issues and the powers is immense with the help of Snow stage 3 wmi/Apr Hpfp/Ths Fmic and a quaife diff.

 The original ko4 conversion was done by the previous owner but it never ran asit should, I decided I had enough of a it being so temperamental so had a fresh start.

I think I was pretty unlucky as there are many others who have the ko4 conversion running smoothly with great results.

It's the same as the Edition 30 engine so not too exciting but still pretty quick. I no longer have the the the Kw v3's in the 2nd pic as I switched to Kw clubsports.

To be honest the ride with the v3's were much more comfortable yet still handled superbly, with all the handling mods I have it certainly brings the creaks and rattles to the surface, but I suppose in fairness clubsports aren't designed with comfort/silence in mind especially on the rough uk roads, they do there job very well though.

 I would definitely look at getting the Ast's over clubsports,  don't you have v3's already I really can't fault them myself,  maybe you should look at stripping out the interior and having a full cage, I would be up for a group buy from custom cages :wink:
