Funny thing is, it feels barely any different and sounds the same. Slight judder I had in reverse is now gone, obviously the clutch is lighter, sharper bite and no longer slips.... but nothing indicating the DMF would be in that state!

When do you get the Golf R?
I will be fitting my bonnet strut later as the rest of my bits turned up last night. Will post a pic later.
Booked mine in to be mapped at R-tech for a week on Wednesday. Can't wait, clutch next I expect!
Oh well, off to give mine a second coat of Fusso99 whilst the weather is on my side.

Bonnet strut fitted
Nice
it's a good little mod, even if I don't use it that often haha.
Nice
Yeah makes life so much easier. Just need to clean the engine bay now an get the stickers off the strut.
Also, lately I'm seriously thinking about trying to start a detailing business again.
While waiting for F1 practice I thought I would spend a little bit of time an clean the engine bay, after I did the outside of the car on Wednesday.

I did the bonnet struts a different way,
I tried the single strut but failed, the strut has to fix into the ball but its on too much of an angle for this to work so i modified the way its works and went the oem solution
i still used the plates, 20x50mm, welded the nut on the back,
how ever i went through the hinge
heres the hole

after that to allow the strut to come down you have to trim this piece
IMAG0225 by cuprajake1, on Flickr
remove it
IMAG0227 by cuprajake1, on Flickr
cut in half
IMAG0228 by cuprajake1, on Flickr
install upside down
IMAG0218 by cuprajake1, on Flickr
i also trimmed the rubber 1/2"
this is it fitted up, no more bonnet stay

the struts are off an audi a4 13" long, while they hold the bonnet they dont lift it, so i need something stronger which i can have made by a company

The Audi A3 mk1 gas strut that we've used has a slightly angled fixing which means it can attach. It's probably near its limit but I've had no problems with it

i used the a4 rear boot struts and they lift the bonnet fine.
EVOMS intake installed and cam follower replaced. Discovered the OEM turbo inlet pipe wasn't clamped on properly :O
Fitted a Triple R front Splitter and quick shifter. Very happy and only an hour to fit both. Wish i had fitted the quick shifter a long time ago, what a difference!

I used the nuts and bolts that came with it and more so because they are stainless steel
