Mk7 R Build thread now up

[rex]

Thanks for the answer! 
Too bad I'm in Romania and a long way from Eddie  .
I also have the Air Quality Sensor but from what I saw it is a bit more complicated so I am not sure if I will install it or not.
Thanks again!

Those Valeo LED taillights look so much better than the standard rears, definitely gonna have to add that to my mod list

Just outta curiosity, how's the boot pop mod holding up? Keep reading posts mentioning that they stop working or don't work at al.. Was really interested in that mod too :/

My boot pop is fine, during the summer it works 100% all the time! winter.........less so!  

Must have been on at least 2 years now with no problems at all although I've changed out the bump stops recently as a precautionary measure due to their age but the old ones were absolutely fine.

Some peeps who have retro fitted a Mk6 Rear View Cameras have had to get rid of their boot pop mod due to the wieght of the RVC/handle weighting the boot lid down to much, thus not opening, but others are fine, go figure.

Cheers fella.

I'll no doubt be passing many  comments on yours as you get modding on your new beauty.

Whats next

^^^^ Hey Neil.

Mistress is having a modding break as other things are taking priority at the mo. Few bits and bobs going on soon that I've been wanting to do for ages so I'll now doubt be doing an overly long winded review/write up in a couple of weeks.

Still got a list a MILE LONG so will crack on with that in the near furure.

You still got a list miles long, eh ! Never ending is it?

H&R Monotube Coils
TT Top mounts
Front ARB
Full poly bush
Front end respray

Superpro ball joints
Vibra technics side engine mounts
CTS Discharge and TB Pipe

There one thing you forgot Martin
BT

[MC71]

^^^^ 
 
I'd love to do a BT, would be awesome combined with the 4WD conversion, but if I go down that route, could prove costly especially if my good lady wife finds out and wants a "hand out".

I was looking at your list of mods to see if missed any off mine as your car at similiar stage-ish

[MC71]

^^^^ Could be tempted by the Ohlins but aren't they a wee bit expensive by comparison to other coils?

[berg]

Yes they are. Are the super pro ball joints to go with your oem wishbones? What advantage to TT top mounts bring? Andy

[MC71]

^^^^ Yeap, ball joints will be for my OEM wishbones unless I get some alloy ones in the meantime then they'll go on them. TT top mounts are a bit stiffer than the OEM ones IIRC and seems a standard upgrade when adding coils or springs.
