Nice nice. Black on silver/chrome is the way forward! I struggled with styling on my black un. I wonder what makes people decide what to black out, Badge or grille surround! I dont know many tsi owners, but dare i say it, yours is probly the best, got the looks to match the extra power.......

Just noticed is that the rock car park?!? Lol u a bury man thought u was oldham

Cheers mate! Well I was planning on doing the wheels black but I kinda like the silver as it breaks it up a little. Thank you very much
Yours looks really nice, is it black magic the colour? I love the chrome mirrors, was thinking of doing that to mine. Your splitter looks the dogs B's! Is it the cupra R one?

Haha yes it is, and yeah I'm a Bury man! Family are from Oldham so thats where my choice in footy teams comes from! I was thinking when I was there its actually a good place to have a meet, floor 5 is always pretty deserted.... Should meet up one day mate?

Jay,

how much fuel are you driving about with, is it more that 1/2 a tank?

if your driving about with 3/4 - a tank full of fuel, all the extra weight of fuel will decrease your mpg.

i dont fill mine beyond 1/2 a tank and let it get to 1/4 full before topping up.....

Is the filling station you use on your normal route? If not you're using fuel filling up three-four times as much as you need to. 'The most economical mile is the mile not driven'.

Yeah. I live about 2 mins from my local tesco and fill up with momentum 99 so its easy for me to pop in on way home.

PS...I think I achieved about 160BHP in the end.

 

[bigbadjay]

My old build thread, Hope this helps, it was preface lift but the engine is still the same...

Basically I took my car for the 2nd service then I decided I wanted more power and I swapped it there and then...(still wondering if I made the right choice hehe all good though).

Glad your enjoying it! good car.

I remember readin that when i first got my car! Any other probs apart from misfire, e.g. clutch? Dont kno why im panickin so much but iv had clutches go b4 in my accord v-tec! How long did u run it modded? Btw the car looked badass. Do u still recommend a panel filter over the induction kit?

It was modded as soon as I got it really, it was used as a development car (so I had some goodies from Forge) But yea no issues with the clutch (rock solid!) erm...change it if you need too but to be honest I wouldn't bother if I had one again. Prob just a remap to make a bit more quicker

 

[bigbadjay]

Thanks fella remap it is then! Been umming and ahhhing mainly umming lol. Last thing..... Wot about dump valve any probs? Are they led side repeaters u had in that (on the wing) thanks 4 gettin back 2 me

 

[cheungy]

No problem at all, Dump Valve? Very easy to do...its basically a blow off valve

http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190203&product=FMDV14T

This will do the trick, install is easy - you just need some Torq screwdrive (star shape) undo 3 bolts, remove the OEM divertor valve and add the spacer in, use new longer bolts too (included).

Yes I did have LED side repeaters from ebay, still got them actually however they were tacky so i removed them after a week or so.
