MK5 ED 30 - thanks bud

oh may days

- sounds interesting bud, seen a few mk7 / r20 bumper conversions popping up on insta, i already have all the loom and sensors installed for xenons for where i transplanted the golf loom but i'm a wierdo and never liked the look of xenons

J400uk - thanks bud, i'm pretty sure it is as far as i've found trawling the interwebs it's the second ever touran quattro (first being a russian guy - tdi dsg conversion) and one of 2 or 3 tfsi tourans, it's certainly the only tfsi quattro touran and possibly the fastest / most powerful touran

Orc - thanks Ollie, i'm more of an Olly but still

Rich - you have no idea

that ebay thing ruined the car, it's stupid how one little constant annoyance can make you so angry, at least this one works without being shouted at or constantly prompted to do what it was made to do

Ricky - thanks man, love your car and wish i had your brakes

need to catch it in the flesh soon

Managed to pick up a full set of s3 / r32 etc brakes (only needed rear so will sell fronts on)

Ever since i went for the 370mm ttrs fronts the rears were dwarfed and under very heavy braking the tail got a bit loose, so been looking for the 310mm vented set up for a while, after a few UPS dramas (losing 2 discs) it all arived (in installments) i'd already bought shields and pads

So off with the old 286mm gti set up

And on with the 310mm luckily came in black to match ttrs fronts

Look bit more purposeful behind the helious :)

Also gotsome topran horns, somehow during the swap 2 same tone horns were fitted and sounds terrible so rather than mess about working out what tone is what i bought new hi and low pair

Also bought a new s/wheel and gearknob yesterday, unsure of what they'll look like fitted but looked good in the ebay adverts haha

Are you just using OEM rear disc / pads? Needles to say continued great work..

Yes bud nothing fancy at the rear, thanks for the comment :)

My steering wheel turned up yesterday and my gearknob arrived this morning

matt81 - thanks bud, just freshening it up a bit

at the weekend it was treated to a mop by the painter and fresh haldex oil and filter again after i let it settle down after the swap, hoping turbo will be here in next week or so - although i've agreed to help a mate out and rebuild his mk4 after it was bare shell resprayed and everything is in boxes

Very nice mate, who did the steering wheel? I'd like a slightly smaller one.. Do they modify your existing one? As I have the Mk6 style in my Scirocco..

I had mine rebuilt as flat bottom and 3 & 9 oclock retrimmed in suede with red stitching. I forget the name of the company, sent my wheel to Germany to have it done. Will try and dig out the info

Love it! I bet it surprises a fair few people!

Not a lot been happening lately, bought some passat r36 rear ap coilover springs to try and stem the squat as they have the higest axle load on the platform

Touran rear vs passat
