What is the next mod your buying for your car

[TANNER]

Sadly a 12month tax disc and a full service next month!

In the mean time I have a new air freshener and some rubber mats. Maximum excitement.

[S800BRN]

wheels, Eibach sportlines and maybe even a Twintake. See what the pay packet (and wife) says!

[no golf clubs at all]

New side skirts, sitting painted in workshop. I've been unable to get there to get them fitted thanks to snow, work commitments and Christmas hassles. First week January the abt sides come off and the R32/ed30 oem sides go on  

Next I'm thinking off ripping off the milly quads and replacing with something a little more subtle. Need a new rear valance, paint and a zorst so this phase doesn't come cheap  

Unless a tr r32 rear comes up for sale and a suitable quad insert for the oem bumper that is (some hope).

I've just had a downpipe and Twintake fitted 





Not really sure what to do next 

[s3dubbin]

Helix paddle along with the smf and a larger rear arb for the s3 is my plans....not sure about the wotbox yet.

[dmac1969]

I want an R32 rear end conversion , some Monza IIs and some Carbon goodies , only then will I think about 'performance' mods. Im in this for the long term , cant see me getting rid of the GTI in the next 5 or 6 years so I have plenty time.

....Just an idea which might be a bit cheaper: Replace just the back box with black satin ceramic coated tips and angle-cut - Like mine. They're less in yer face.

my next mod is quite an expensive one and actually involves buying a car to mod in the first place. 

been looking at cars with the new 178hp 1.4 TSI engine in them.  very tunable, DSG, 50mpg+ and only £125/year for tax.

Nice motors them   the seat will be easier to find 2nd hand as its been out longer but my money would be on the skoda

For me im treating myself to one of these http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p87007.htm

Seems to get good reviews and at reasonanle price of c£400 for bit more noise and grunt  

[Janner_Sy]

i too have been looking at the fabia vRS but in estate guise.  1-it looks better than the hatch, 2-i have a dog. 3-its faster and lighter than the hatch.  The wifes friend has one and the she wants one now.

Ive heard 250hp is a pretty solid bet, reckon 270hp could be a bit wishful though. still 250hp in a 1230kg car would be very quick.

theres a ibiza cupra 1.4TSI on SCN that has managed a 13.4sec 1/4 mile with his @ 220hp with the interior stripped out.  that impressive for a 1.4

Just been reading on SCN and it doesnt seem to be a very reliable engine and VW may pull the plug on it so maybe not

[Janner_Sy]

cant see them pulling the plug. 

Also if its that unreliable, why would it win best international engine every year since 2005

Dunno mate but there would seem to a fair few thats not seen there cars for months (dealers) and others needing new engines.

Probably just scare mongering but you might one a keep an eye on that front

Back on topic

Some new front tyres will be the first mod if you can call it that.
