Nice new goodies 
Also the pliers set is very handy!!
Saved me too a lot of time and open knuckles! Learned it the hard way in the past!

I'm still learning the ropes of doing my own mechanics but when I helped my mechanic with upgrading my GT Sport I learned how handy some proper tools can be.

Somehow been a while without checking up on this 


Cars looking great and really good on track. As usual you've done things properly 

Be interesting to see what comes of your tuning issues and hope you get it sorted and make the best of a cracking car as soon as you can

Thanks mate! 

My tuning issues are related to the DSG box, as far as I know. I know my current tune is reliable but I take good care of my cars so I know the box can be pushed a bit more safely.

Either way this will have developments till the next Revo sales prices.

Just made an order to Awesome GTI, preparing for my next oil change.

Ordered:

• ECS Tuning Billet Aluminum Oil Filter Housing Kit 2.0T

• ECS Magnetic Sump Plug With 10 replacement Washers

• Schwaben Oil Storage Catch Can 6Ltr Can (ES1876778)

Next week I'll contact the local SuperPro dealer to get the adjustable ball joints.

Nice touches, always fancied the housing and plug myself as I'm always changing the oil.

Yeah, I'm trying to get this project finished in the next couple of months. Then it will be just maintenance and more track oriented bits (pads, tyres, if the budget allows a new set of wheels just for track use).

Sounds like my exact plans just you're a couple of months ahead

I hope you can get your new BWJ engine fitted and running sweet soon.

Cheers mate, me too 

This arrived from China today after 20 days. Cost €14,20/£ 11 from ebay.



Heavier than I expected for such a small tool. Already tested it with one of the coils I have at home and it fits nice.

My finishing touches to the car.

Just waiting to know the price of the SuperPro ball joints from the local dealer to decide from where to order.

How much was the filter housing?
