next (and last bit of mods) to get installed hopefully within 3-6 months. Then hopefully I'll be well and truly finished. (HOPEFULLY!)
-
Get new tyres ASAP : Was looking at Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but have heard they are quite a soft compound and will wear quite quick? Might look at the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT's again or Goodyear Assymetric 2's.
-
Get a DSG Tune : After a spirited drive this weekend, I think this will compliment the car greatly. It doesnt feel too bad right now as in it's not sluggish or anything of the sort, however, with the DSG tune it'll give it that little bit extra I believe to make it really fun.
-
Install my Haldex Gen 4 : Have been sitting around in my house for a while now, and haven't yet installed. Perhaps at next service
-
Install Tyrol Sport Rigid Collars : From the group buy. Will probably install this along with the Haldex.
-
Install Defi Advance EGT Gauge + Oil Pressure Gauge with the OSIR centre dual pods (gloss black) : Was thinking of the P3 gauge to be honest, however I like the look of the gauges. Oil Temp and Water temp are all on the dash anyways (although might not always be 100% accurate, but at least its there).
-
BBK Upgrade : Lots of options out there. Looking at the Brembo 6 pistons with 2 piece slotted rotors. Why Brembo? Personal preference. I like the look of them. It should not affect the brake master cylinder, however will be researching this a bit more. Looking to reduce unsprung weight too with the 2 piece rotors. Some may say overkill for the street, but hey, the car as it stands right now for the streets is probably overkill already.
-
Wheels : Yes, yes, lots of people have been asking me when I'm going to get the wheels. I think I may be one of the last Golf R's which has essentially all the bolt on engine mods done, yet still keeping with the stock 19" Talladegas. SSR Professor SP1's 3 piece wheels with some dish, gloss black centres and gold bolts is where my heart is currently, but will also be looking at offerings from BBS, HRE or DPE's if there's anything that I like (which at the moment, there isn't).
Those are the big ticket items left. Everything else is either cosmetic or quite small. Also, I've been thinking a lot of a badgeless front grille with notched bonnet. I think it looks quite clean...but if i want this, I want to notch the bonnet completely by welding it on etc and I dont think I love it THAT much currently to make that commitment .... but again, it does look quite clean and is slowly growing on me and im warming to the idea...
