What have you got there then?

I can see a sub and reverse camera so assume you're doing an upgrade?

Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB with ND-BC8 Reversing Camera
Phoenix Gold SX Series Amp & Sub
Focal Front & Rear Door Speakers
Plus a load of Dynamat

The headunit and camera has replaced a oem Chinese jobby which fitted when I bought the car. Everything else is new.

Spent £15 On 400ml of STP Complete Fuel System Cleaner.... OMFG... what a difference. If you haven't tried some of this stuff then go out, get some and be impressed.. :pomppomp:

@MrJT247 it's a for the moment boost and when it's finished you're back to square one  :signLOL:
I was using these back in 2000 for 2 years just for the extra throttle response and it was fun but waste of money as I was using 3 to four bottles a week  :signLOL:

How much were the focal speakers and where did you get them from @shaunnorris7 ?

Been wanting to get some for my mk5 as I understand they are plug and play and sound pretty good..

Yes they are plug & play and sound very good compared to standard speakers. I had a local company supply and fit it all but I paid approx £300 for the front & rears.

Let us know how you get on

I'm planning a audio upgrade next month

Oh really.. According to my VCDS I have an slight misfire on 1 & 3 when idling and tbh she's been running a little rough since the  last drag day. Whilst waiting for some new Iridiums and a set of R8 coil packs to arrive, I thought I'd try some STP Fuel System Cleaner. Wasn't aware that it raised the octane of the fuel. Any how, the misfire has gone and it is running a lot less lumpy. I'll be miffed if its just a temporary fix!

@irish_ram not sure yet. I may just keep it so can put car back to standard(ish) when I sell it.

If I do decide to sell it though, I'll contact you first.
