Will probably need a new clutch and DMF soon as well so trying to budget for that - although no slippage or issues so far!
Future plans include the following (in no particular order)
Full TBE (inc 200cell cat) - almost certainly a Powervalve BCS unit after previous poor Milly experience
HPFP - LOBA is my preferred model
AMD Revision+ DV
REMAP - not sure who by though, maybe REVO
I fancy a set of 18'' ROTA Grids
A little paintwork - stonechips need sorting and maybe a bit of colour coding!
Some pics of how the motor is looking today
As things get added/changed/removed I will keep this thread updated! So far so good - its awesome to be back driving a GTI again!
