Very nice mate...how long does the tank of methonal last?or it's still to early to say?

cheers Dan

i think it needs fine tuning tbh,maybe when ive got a custom map on it,low revs it doesnt really spray,its set at i think 8 psi and max 15 psi which i think is low but im on a low boost map,used a quarter of a tank in 60 miles but thats mostly motorway speeds

Finally got round to some more oem upgrades as some came up for sale cheap
door latch covers

hard to get a good pic because of the reflection

another thing that wound me up was my porsche coolant cap not sitting straight

stripped it down and with on/off calculations started to hack it:evil:

finished and clipped onto the last of whats left ran some strong glue around and inside to seal it,sits ideally

next onto some under seat lighting for the back,the seats already came with the hole in for the light fixture then just needs to be tapped into the other front foot lighting
new leds to compliment them all so its all one 'shade' 6000k

from under the seat light fixture then under the carpet to the door trim,then bonnet release trim loosened to feed wires upto original lighting

ive used these before so its easier if they have to be removed in the future

leds fitted

actually easier on the other side

lastly sorted out my problematic polar fis+ display resetting itself and turning off every 10 seconds or so,spoke with alex at Aks tuning firstly about it and ran an update first to see if it cures it...went back to the same problem aftyer a few mins grrr,next was a factory reset then update but still the same problems
lastly was to remove everything again to make sure its all seated correctly,the only thing we seen was the connector was slightly not seatting in perfectly
so i thought ill remove the cover and found this

white wire completely off,good thing it was an easy fix

ran the car for a few mins and reset all the parameters and its perfect,must of not been keeping its memory etc but its reading better than it was when i first got it :)
only thing to do is i need a new windscreen :( excess of £60,ive been putting it off for a few weeks now because of buying mods lol

I am also having a new windscreen this week... We copy each other's work/modifications too much!

Amazing work done! The PolarFIS is such a great gadget.

things have been quiet on the mk6 forums ride of late,on mine also but still paying for stuff lol
first things was a service,not done all at once as i forgot my 36mm filter socket was a 3/8 drive and didnt have a ratchet to fit :( new cam follower and seal also

sorted the next day though and had a crack at the new Hel lines on the rear to find there the wrong bloody fitments grrr.
fair dooze to Hel though,called them straight away and they sent the right fixtures over on a 24hr delivery to find then it pee'd down since so not fitted them yet
had my new windscreen fitted at last to find the scuttle panel has a crack in it and a few scuffs so ill need another to be perfect :(
had a play around with my front grill also,made a few more airflow holes then decided to cut it away altogether haha,then installed my new red background 'R' badge to see if i like it or now then stuck some leftover carbon vinyl on the back of the VW badge
had a go at wrapping the 'R' after about 3 attemps i was happy with it

Nice little touches dude

had a play around with my revo heatshield also trying to get rid of all that hot air the radiattor pipe gives of underneath where the filter sits
made a template out of some steel lying around and chopped and sawn into shape then stuck it on with the heat reflective tape if by any chance it comes off to be sold etc its easily removeable,not bad for a hacksaw lol

splashed out on some gold heat tape for the top and inside ;)

this lead to me then painting my battery cover,fuse box cover and windscreen washer gloss black

lastly after alot of discussions online and facebook etc i went and bought a Gfb+ from Amd tuning essex as there a reputable company selling an original gfb
dead easy to strip down my rev g and install the gfb bits and bolt back on in 15 mins,first impresions is a very responsive throttle pedal,really eager to boost also and sweet to the red line ;) my rev g was in pefect condition as only fitted in january so noticed a nice improvement
