So I've had some H&r coil overs fitted. Highly highly recommend them the comfort is genuinely on par with standard setup! They're a tad too low I think at the moment so will be going up soon.

Anyway some pics from today after my dad and I went for a drive.

Big update!

Out with the old wheels... And in with the new:





Also installed a variety of upgrades that I don't think have been previously menitoned.
Mods list:
forge twintake
Miltek non res tbe with 200 cell miltek sports cat
Blistein coilovers
Walk kit
Stage 2 shark performance remap
Forge hoses throughout
Team dynamic pro race 1.2
Probably more that I'm forgetting  :laugh:

Shockingly I discovered on a recent rolling road session that my turbo has been unplugged since purchase!
( can anyone think why this might be? )

After a quick diagnosis it was plugged back in and put on the rolling road where it made 250 bhp ( the env temp was 26 at this point due to 4 consecutive runs so add 10% and we estimate around 270.)



Future plans include :
Nqsbbk ( let me know if you know of any for sale )
Retrim of seating in ed30 style half leather.
Also fancy getting my mirrors, and vw badges wrapped in gloss black ( send me some pics if anyone has seen it done before!)
And who knows, maybe even a HPFP and twintercooler  :happy2:

Thanks for reading!
