Bit of an update with a few mods having happened....

As it was when we bought it in April earlier this year as a 2yo car with 9k miles, it was like brand new :cool:



Then the addition of the Eibach Sportline springs only, with the Bilstein B8 shocks to be added at a later date, sits much nicer and drives well;


Out with the old....


...and in with the Blueflame CBE...

Not the best pic but it gives a good idea of how it looks on the car, and sounds great so far.


With the Carbonio intake to accompany which again sounds great and fitted perfectly :cool:


Next on the list is Revo Stage 2 to accompany the 3" Downpipe and 100 Cel CAT, but will need to wait until Feb when it will be fitted and mapped accordingly as warranty expires in March.

In the meantime I am hoping for some R rear LED's to finish the rear end off.

Not sure what happened to the other pics, will try and sort.

Thanks for looking :happy2:

Thanks for the positive comments guys  :happy2:

I am desperate to get the down pipe fitted and the car mapped to unlock the power but have other financial commitments prior to Christmas as most of us do, not too long to wait  :smiley:

Ok so I wasn't able to wait :ashamed:

3" Downpipe has been fitted along with Revo Stage 2 software.....all I can say is WOW :jumpmove:

Transformed the car, just need some dry weather now to explore it a little more.

Other than that I have also fitted some Heko Wind Deflectors and the obligatory .:R LED rear clusters, will get some better pics over the holiday period once cleaned, but here's a taster....



50/50


All done.


Happy days  :driver:

The LED lights look so much better, but I would say that............

Its just a shame that the indicators arent LED

I know what your saying but really pleased with them, gave car a wash in the rain this afternoon, neighbours thinks I'm mental  :jumping:



Not had a dyno run done yet, but asked Revo to send me an indicative graph from their demo vehicle which closely matches the spec of my car, quite a jump in power and will be interested how my car performs when on the rollers.

Thanks Paul, hoping to get some 10/12mm spacers in the New Year as wheels sit too far into the arches for my liking.

It's the new E888 engine with IHI turbo, different to the MK5.

Better mpg, lower emissions and responds better to tuning :evilgrin:

Are you getting ~350lb/ft and ~300bhp from that little turbo!!?  That's mad.  I thought these sort of numbers were reserved for Ed.30's, nice car.

You will get around 250 horses and 345 lbft as it's the same engine in my Skoda.  :happy2:
