Thanks for the nice comments, after opening another photobucket ( Forgot the details of the last one  :confused: ) I have been able to upload some photos.

Hope you like them.

Hi demon666

Not sure to be honest, thinking of a rear brake upgrade to a Brembo next with 310 x 22 floating discs and also keeping the original calipers as the handbrake. Engine wise it goes well and pulls very strong so quite happy with it as it is and if I wanted more power I would like to get an R8 or 911 but would be reluctant to sell this to be honest, who knows once I run out of things to do which is not far away I may get the guys at Vagtech to pull the lump out and make it as powerful and strong as possible with a big turbo, forged internals and APR bolts etc. but also have mixed opinions as putting too much power through a front wheel drive seems pointless unless I go down the route of a 4wd conversion which I don't feel I would like to do with the audio kit I have in the back and it's got just under 21,000 miles on the clock and only gets used when I am back in the UK so not sure to be honest but saying that I have got the modification bug big time and normally have problems talking myself out of doing upgrades to the car LOL.

Cheers Paul

A good upgraded diff should sort the big power to the front wheel issues. Plus a bit of carbon fibre over the front end to further help with under steer issues and some poly bushed love and she'll be amazing.

Not that I'm trying to convince you that it would be amazing to do.

It's got a LSD in it and fully poly bushed throughout and also the engine mounts etc. but not a carbon fibre bonnet yet, so maybe some more money I can spend LOL. But you are 100% right the LSD in my opinion was the best mod I had fitted and at the time the gearbox was out I had an upgraded clutch and a SMF installed. Driving it after that LSD was installed gave it so much more drive out of corners etc.  :happy2:
