Just debating what colour to have my BBS wheels refurbed now.

Hi Darren

What do you mean by hybrid?? And also what spliter do have on your car?
It's looking nice mate, I've had mine for just over a year now and I've got the bug big time.
It's just money lol

[DanBoy]

Hybrid is just a hybrid turbo, places like Turbo Technics have developed a hybrid turbo for the BKD 2.0 TDI's which is good for upto 240bhp.

I'm guessing he has the ED30 front spoiler on his too, I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong lol.

[mortygttdi]

Yep eddy30 front spoiler

I've not heard anything bad from the place that did my remap tbh, mines quite high mileage so if the turbo goes it goes  I'm planning on getting a hybrid one soon so its just an excuse lol.

Well yesterday I put my 16's back on as I'm gonna start slowly sorting things out and buying up bits and bobs ready for a mass fitting day lol.

My brakes have felt like they needed to be a little bit beefier so as I'm slightly on a budget I've purchased GTI front and rear calipers, think I need to get some new brake hoses and sheilds too but will get that sorted, just unsure what to do about discs and pads yet, whether to stick with standard or uprate.

Anyway heres a boring picture lol.

Braided Brake Lines are a good shout and available from www.brake-lines.co.uk for mucho cheapness. Well that's where I got mine. Plenty choice of colours and good high quality stuff. 

I have standard discs and pads in at the moment but will be heading for EBC Greenstuff Pads next. Much less dust and a good bite from them.  make sure you fit the anti-squeal shims, whatever pads you go for.

At the min I'll probably just go for the standard stuff as price wise through work I'm only paying £140 all round for decent quality discs and pads.

Just got sooo many things I want to do but no fundage lol.

Well its been a while since I was last on here, not much has happened on the car, it still looks standard, and it really needs a clean lol.

I had all the suspension replaced last month as I managed to pick up brand new koni 35mm springs and front and rear koni adjustable shocks for a bargain price.



I also managed to get the car on the rolling road in October so I could see what power it was putting out after its remap.

The results were 187 bhp and 352 lb/ft torque, so I'm pleased with that for now....

[DanBoy]

Well its been about 6 weeks since the car was last cleaned lol so took a few pics to show its lowered now, still a bit gutted the back end sits a little bit high but not much I can do about that at the min.

[daboy3000]

Did you buy shocks for a petrol?  Should be lower than that, are they adjustable.  I changed the springs on mine and it slammed it!

No all the items were for the diesel, the shocks are only adjustable for the ride, but I got all the suspension parts silly cheap anyway so if I end up changing the springs again its no major loss, will see better once I get the 18's back on the car.
