Love the gold wheels @dansmith180 contemplating getting my pescaras done that colour - although I've been thinking about it for some time these pics might just push me over to the get it done side lol

So the car is back and working  :jumpmove: :driver:

Unfortunately I don't have the best update as I've been very busy with work and other bits this weekend, however I have Friday and Monday off and will be attending a couple of shows over the weekend. I'm also going to Bedford Circuit on the 20th to spectate and be a passanger so no doubt I will get lots and lots of pictures and all the miles will give me enough time to review everything (including the Michelin PS4's) more accurately.

So far though the car feels excellent, all is tight firm and smooth (also how I like my women)  :signLOL:. Just a pleasure to drive and considering its on a base map making about 12psi boost it still moves pretty quick although i'm not abusing it since it's not really designed for that. Keeping under 4.5k and not too much WOT but its still got plenty for slip roads and is a great motorway cruiser. Can't wait for all the horses to be unleashed though  :evilgrin:

Got a couple of pics

One with a very nice Scirocco R owned by a friend and secret squirell




So nice to have it back, enjoy just seeing it on the drive again. Will give it a proper clean and as said will take many photos next weekend and do a nice update with more info and pics.

Really nice to know that your car is running sweet. We'll be waiting to see the dyno graph and more pictures of it.  :drinking:

Re: Dans grey MK5 GTI BWJ converted - finally cleaned it.

So she was looking a bit sad and felt tough since its been weeks since the last wash, drove down to Bournemouth and back yesterday to drop some wheels off to a fellow member and experienced nearly every type of weather on the way so was in desperate need.

Dirty pic at the gym (not what you might be thinking)

And this was before 200 miles driving yesterday.


Started with the wheels and some degreaser on tyres/ arches/ bottom and underneath bits. Also degreased the engine bay. Then a good layer of foam followed by a wash.









Dried it and took it inside. Blow dry with machine, Carpro reload over the paint, Gtechniq C2V3 and T1 on wheels and tyres, Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol on glass. Came up pretty well.





Went over the bay with Aerospace 303 protectant





Sexy engine mount





Gave the interior a going over as well








Ruby approves  :signLOL:

Overall she scrubs up well for her age. Now just can't wait to get it mapped

I was thinking about cleaning up my engine bay soon as it's getting naaaasty. Did you use a pressure washer on it to remove the degreaser?

Ps car is looking good man  :happy2:

Yeah its better with a pressure washer as its more of a mist and it evaporates quicker than a hose/ etc...

I make sure the engine is fully hot then spray degreaser on and give it a brush followed by a rinse. Just try to aim it to the sides and don't go to close or into connectors etc....

Then leave it for a bit and start it, otherwise just do it with the engine running.

Good day out with Jay yesterday. Went to the boostedUK meet in Aylesbury and then back to work for super fun electrical things.
