Cheers Dave...it's getting their always stuff to do..

Per-cat delete... I know a few people have done this and got rid of the honey comb gauze stuff I don't know what kind of gains it would make but I guess it would make it less restrictive on the exhaust  gases. it gotta help?

As for the map at R-Tec. Plan was in January but it might have to slip to february now due to a few mods I want done...before I go.

loving the car Deano.

Have you noticed any difference in throttle response having the induction kit fitted. I have read a lot about people saying that it makes the car lose torque low down the rev range. is it much noisier?

need to pull my finger out and start doing some more mods.

Cheers Graham...I appreciate the comments still lots too do as always..

As for the induction kit. I heard a lot of people saying about the loss of torque low down..but to be honest it's so low not even noticeable..i was always going to remap anyway.as for the noise you do get an increased intake noise e.g the turbo spoiling and you can also hear the dump valve when changing ..who does not like that...

Hope this helps....

Cool cheers mate. May invest in one in the new year.

hi all..just another update..well over the last 3 weeks or so I have been collecting all the parts needed for my R32 brake conversion and to be fair their has been a lot to collect. when I decided to upgrade the brakes I thought buying some used ones  and then getting them refurbished would be a good money saving idea. How Wong I was. Anyway ended up buying a new caliper as the used one was not great so all in it has cost be £600 had a good deal on some brembo discs and pads.. got to say it has been one of the best mods so far...these and the standard GTI brakes are miles apart.. also had to run 10mm spacers up front  to clear the brakes ive got some h&R ones on order at the mo...

Also gave her a bit of a clean today...


Also decided to get rid of the standard stereo/satnav MdF2  just fancied an upgrade something I can hook my iphone/iPod/ up too..I don't use sat nav much anyway so I am not going to miss it at all. So Managed to get hold of an ex demo AVH-3500DAB and and used the CT23VW01 fitting kit from car audio security which is totally adjustable. Also purchased some trim tools so glad I had those..

Another new set of 10mm front spacers due to the first pair not being hub-centric ...I'm now thinking do I get a pair of 10mm spacers for the rear. At the moment I'm running 3mm spacers.

As I have a new head-unit I decided to get rid of the old CD changer. So replaced it with the iPod dock instead I't looks cleaner I think much better.

Hi not updated anything for a while but now the weathers getting better i got to do a couple of small jobs done ..first of all decided to replace my wing mirror indicator lens mine were looking yellow so got myself a pair of genuine vw items ..miles better I now have replaced all the lights on the car. it's the small things that count we all now that..........


Before




During





After





Anyway  all was fine until the afternoon when the engine warning light came on..The car did not feel any different so I cracked on. once I was home I plugged in my £25 engine code reader I got from ebay.. Which came up with the code P0441 EMISSION CONTROL INCORRECT FLOW. So decided to do a bit a research then went back to the car checked the carbon canister and pipe work for breaks or splits nothing.. but this valve was making a lot of noise so decided to replace it..I then turned off the engine light job done.

New Valve



And Fitted




Next job was to replace the grill fed up of it being faded.... so I brought is an after market one off ebay. The build quality is great apart from the gti badge and the red pin stripe. Its very good and a perfect fit I used the pin stripe and gti badge of my original grill..going to use the old grill for a project respray graphite Gray and gloss back...and a different pin stripe colour



Old Grill




NEW GRILL




And Fitted





NEW YELLOW FOG LIGHT BULBS




And fitted








[size=14pt]Black coolant and washer bottle caps









I think these will look great on the brakes once I have repainted them not the cheapest things in the world....also been thinking and have decided to do the R32 rear exhaust and valance I know I should have done it first time round so will be selling my milltek soon I guess,,,,

You've done a great job so far, let me know if you decide to sell the miltek and rear valence

[Deano45]

cheers for the comments guys...I appreciate it..Just a small update ive got the week off work . Weathers great so decided to get amongst it and crack on with the brakes giving them a quick coat and then get the new spring clips fitted also gave the disc inners a coat of hammerite smooth they came out well and with the new clips it looks 10o% better























I have had the R32 rear on my mind ever since having the car so on Saturday I ordered my new rear valance so now it is defiantly going ahead and should be here in a couple of days ...so now the most important thing the exhaust I think I'm going to stay with milltek new cat-back £560 at the moment but I know I can get a BCS cat-back for £600 I think I'm right in that...need a day or two to ponder on them both ...my mate has told me to go custom and save some money...I'm not so sure about custom exhausts...
