Good thread! Didn't realise quite how much you had done already. Great work Bigs and a very satisfying RR result too!

Reminds me though , I must order a new clutch and flywheel!
Thanks very much matey! Your's is a lovely looking machine, you still using Awesome GTI for your goodies?
Looks great mate, well done!
When did you buy yours, cos as soon as I saw the pics I new it was from letchworth, I rang about one they had tho there px price on my mk1 cupra r wasn't what I was after, anyway excellent read!
Ha, yeah all the advertisment pic's from Letchworth look very similar dont they?:) Got mine a coulpe of years ago now bud, nearly got a different one with a sunroof but this one had the Sportlines and Stg 1!;)
Very very nice spec - looking forward to seeing this machine strut its stuff at Crail in 11 days too :)
Cheers big man, thanks for the advice throught the build too! In fact, most of it's probably your fault!;)
Cracker mate ! :)
Cheers buddy, keeping an eye on your too now!:D
Looking very nice!!

All the mods look like they have been well worth it - next for me is taking the plunge with the glass roof :)
Thanks, good to see a girlie on here with a bit of a road weapon too!;)
Some of you lads should join him on his trip to Fife next Sunday - he has a spare seat! Or better still, a convoy!
Only just noticed this comment! LISTEN TO Al!!!!!!! Theres gotta be someone who's interested in heading up to this from down South!!???:blink:

Thanks a lot mate. Gotta say that I do like the Golf's too, was sorely tempted by the R but just no way I could afford one!;)

Jesus dude that was quick!;)

As you can see I managed to meet up with Dave.c this evening after driving up to Wales. Super nice guy and he has a true sleeper car, a real Wolf in Sheep's clothing!:D Was a flying visit unfortunately but will be back down in Wales again soon and we'll do it properly with beers too!;)

Cheers for sticking the pics up for me mate, just wish my car was as clean as yours (hangs head in shame!) ;)

God knows how Ive missed your build bud. Awesome work. Hopefully meet up before I go to Afghan (again :sick:)

Need to compare your Quaiffe to my Peloquin too.

Ha, I knew you'd be along eventually dude!;)

Defo up for a meet before you go dude, would be rude not to! I could always babysit your car whilst your away and do a proper Peloquin vs Quaiffe comparison! :lol: ;)

Ha fair point mate, I promise I'd be nice to the tyres tho!;)

@ Waddington everyday next week mate so that sounds like a plan to me! Just gimme a shout if you want to meet as I'll need to stick some leave in for the afternoon (my boss is super anal!)

Got accommodation booked and paid for so now this REVO weekend at Crail is a definate go ahead!:funk:

Will be interesting to see how I get on going down the strip as I've never been down one before!:drive1:

Over 300 miles each way though so will be pissed off if the weather is crappy!:censored:

Forecast show 1mm of rain during the day, and sunny intervals, so hopefully it will be great :)

Well, finally managed to meet up with Tfsi_Mike today after way too long.:)

What a nice guy and what a seriously nice motor too! Got to pick his brains about loads of stuff and perv over his car for a bit too.:whistle:

Got some pic's but it was raining so not many and only on the mobile phone.:shrug:

Had to try a wingmirror shot but way too much rain!

I must say, Mike's exhaust sounds amazing on boost. Really meaty but not too obtrusive inside the cabin.

Thanks for meeting up today Mike, had a good afternoon. Also cheers for leading me to that Shell garage, wouldnt have had a clue otherwise!:thanks:

Will have to do the same again soon, maybe get a few more involved too!

Great to finally meet you Matthew! Real shame about the weather! Only hlaf anhour away, welcome to call into Beeston for a brew mate. Introduce Winston to your pooch lol.

My car has an odd stance in pics with the 888s on :-/ Ah well handles awesome at least!

Thanks for the ride in the K1, I need your dash!

We need to organise a big meet on that area & fill that car park, that bus driver was a complete pillock!
