Cheers fella
Its just over 200bhp but it weights next to nothing really so the power to weight ratio is quite good. Its by no means slow i mean, i have come up against a fair few things and finished smiling, it can get off the line easily too with the LSD, so it has it advantages!
I mean i didn't buy it for it to be more powerful than the Cupra, as i did the whole changing turbos and everything with that, i bought it as i wanted something fun for a while and its what i wanted and i love it, and the handling is immense, very neutral if im honest, you point the front where you want it to go and the back follows with no drama, its great

Changed all my centre console bulbs over as 2 of them had gone, so i was kinda dark at night. Bit of a PITA at first but got there in the end! All bright now
Also got my stereo finally fitted, no thanks to the Japanese person who fitted the double DIN one, who clearly decided that spending a few quid on a wiring harness was too much and therefore butchered it together, but its all sorted now and i finally don't have a stereo that has a tendency to revert back to Japanese whenever it feels like it!
Although when i fitted the stereo the aerial was up all the time when the stereo was on and those of you that know how high Teg aerials go will know its kind of annoying, so i fitted a switch which means that i control the aerial now, so i only need to have it up when im listening to the radio. Also put in a UKDM pocket to fill the gap







Switch for the aerial

So the exterior of the teg was looking a little worse for wear, in need of some TLC really, i wash it weekly but the wax was wearing off so it wasn't really holding a shine anymore so i decided to spend some time with

Before







During





After

All important just waxed shot



Cleaned the inside too for good measure





Also the air con was removed last week, as it never worked anyways. An EK9 throttle cable was added and some Mugen socks too. Then gave the bay a little clean







Also had Barry from Safe & Sound fit me a Toad Ai606 CAT 1 alarm and shock sensor to replace the POS one that was one there, that only let me in the car when it felt like it, was 2 alarms put together...shows how good it was, but the new ones awesome!

Thanks mate, yeh the Mugens brighten it up a little! Seats are great, i love um!
Next under the bonnet i think is gunna be some red coolant hoses and possibly a different induction kit, but im undecided on that yet as i love the AEM one, adding the EK9 throttle cable was something ive been meaning to do for ages, luckily a mate of mine was breaking one. Although next up in general is gunna be some exterior stuff

I fitted an apexi one to my old dc2 sounded good tho even with my standard exhaust

Yeh i think they'll fit in nicely, there on the very long list of things to do lol Would love a Mugen induction kit mate but with the exchange rate there like £500 and i really can't justify that, at the end of the day its a K&N filter.....but i have found a company that do copies of the Mugen box for a third of the price so if i do get one that'll be what i get

Yeh i know a couple of people with them and as long as you don't skimp on the filter there just as good. No mate i don't have a vtec controller, was looking at the cheap Buddyclub ones but they tend to have a mind of there own, heard some horror stories of them kicking vtec in at 3k. I am contemplating getting an Apexi Neo eventually when everything else is done, just to tie in all my mods, as i have done virtually all the breathing mods. Looked at something like Hondata S3000 but its just too expensive when you add in mapping it, can do it on an Apexi for half the price
