Very nice car wheels and the stance looks excellent also liking the sound from the exhaust,shame about the rear valance colour but I'm sure you will get it sorted sandy

was good to meet you yesterday and hope you enjoy your RCD510

Thanks Scott, was good to see ur car in the flesh (metal). Tis a nice machine. Yeah, I'm pretty annoyed about the colour of the valance but will get it fixed next week. Thanks a lot for the CAN Gateway installation last night, especially in the rain. Thank Mrs Golfman again for the cuppa tea!  :happy2: hoping to get the RCD 510 next week (I'm away on holiday for this week coming). Will put a picture or two when I do it. Am meeting up with W80ody for a few days so will have a look at his door lights and see if I'll get them put in. No doubt we'll both be back soon enough.  :wink:

Just reading back through this build thread and had to chuckle, as I am now going to be possibly the 4th owner of the CH's which I was clearly desperate to get my hands on  :party: and you took my advice on the Shark remap!!  :wink:  By the way, how are you finding it?

Hey, yeah Shark Performance is awesome! Much better than superchips any day!  :wink: lol. It has a lot smoother power delivery than standard and bags more power (see posts still to come)  :laugh: yeah, these bbs CH reps aren't half getting about! Glad you like them and they are awesome looking on your car.

Few wee updates: I fitted my new wheels on Friday (BBS RD256's) wrapped in lovely Toyo T1-R's. GRIP!! :driver:

Just back from Extreme Performance Rolling Road Day. Met some lovely Skoda's there and a few Mk5 GT TDI boys.  :happy2:

Made 181.8 bhp and 310 ft/lbs on the rollers which I'm over the moon with. I knew my map had given me more power but expected about 170ish. Fastest Diesel of the day, I think. Closely followed by a stunning wee silver Fabia vRS at only 0.6 bhp behind me.

Pictures to follow

I have been looking at picture #3 for 5 minutes trying to figure out what engine you have, clearly not a PD140 or 170 looking at it.................





...........then I realised it was the Furby and a PD130!!  :stupid:

I want the RNS-510 but lowering springs and getting my bodywork painted up is more important!  :sad1:
