Tfsi_Mike:
The Vw special tool makes the hub so much easier to split, half a turn of the tool and the hub practically falls off the strut and the strut ramains prized open until its put back together and bit/tool removed
bit lare for the tip tho lol

It's litterally a socket with a semi elliptical shape bit, but knowing how much they charge for these silly 'special' tools god knows!

So been to Shark today - pulled 257@5800 and 309lbsft @ 3400.
Pretty pleased. Ben said there is a load to come if I do the intake and hpfp - but I guess I already knew that! Its just a case of cash!
You may have seen my 330 brake project in the performance section....that is what I am busy with at the moment!

I have decided to put all my modding stuff in this thread from now - seems to be the way!
Brakes are nearly ready to go on (from my '330mm brake conversion' thread. Still not sure whether to go 'AMG' or 'Porsche' with the decals :confused:
Not quite DAveB standard refinshing but once all lacquered they'll be fine!
Went to Doncaster today to pick up a mk6 TSI style airbox that I won off the Bay....when looking on ETKA its amazing how far back and how many cars they came on....this ones from a 2006 PAssat TDI!
I hadnt banked on this problem tho
Top rad hose bang in the way....looking on ETKA for a hose which skirts around the airbox and not through it!
The top element offered in here just for laughs
Then I gave it a little detail
And then I went out and 'kicked its ass' as we say around here.! The usual blat with my bro in his E30 M3
Up the 'old A1' from Markham Moor to Tuxford and on to Sutton on Trent - then back round. We came across a guy out in his 60 plate Boxster Spyder.....he couldnt shake us! We pulled up in town and had a good chat - he was quite surprised that he didnt loose us. He also had a GT3RS tucked up..... :party:
Good times when you tag onto some like minded lunatic having a 'Sunday drive'!
