Unfortunately the parachute got tangled and I hit the ground a lot harder than expected... :chicken:
Anyways... I'm carrying on with where I left off with the modding plans and while I thought I was running out of mods to do, people like JonnyC have put that silly notion to rest. :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: Plans for this year are.... in order of application...
Power/handling/comfort
1. Sound proofing the floor, boot and doors from Ipswich Car Radio
2. Top Mounts from VWR
3. Polybushes all round from JKM
4. DSG Remap
5. APR Remap or Stage 2+ Revo if things are sorted on that front regarding the fuel pressure sensor.
6. JonnyCs Custom Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake to replace the EVOMS. I did initially buy the carbon fibre EVOMS kit he has for sale, but then was offered his custom kit instead :jumpmove:
7. Brake conversion - should have done this first really but I don't drive too enthusiastically on public roads :innocent: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
8. Twintercooler
Next year
Weight Saving
9. Matching carbon fibre mods - for the bonnet, rear hatch, wings, wing mirrors and maybe doors
10. Braille battery
11. Lightweight alloys

If you're eventually going down the weight saving route in the future - why are you getting more soundproofing that will easily weigh a darn good few kilos to then spend quite a lot of hard earned in CF panels which will inturn save you a few meagure kilos ? ? ?

I know what you are saying Gareth, but you obviously haven't sat in an Ed30 with the VWR Solid Aluminum Track Day engine mounts :grin: :grin: :grin: Its LOUD! The weight saving is in part to offset against a weight gain due to the soundproofing material :happy2:
