Griffin - my baby GT-R! (GTI Mk5) [SOLD!]
samx300:
I was back at AKS Tuning on 01 September. The below work was carried out to the usual AKS impeccable standards :drinking:
* Performance Oil and Filter Service - Millers CFS 5w40 NT
* New Oil Filter Housing
* New Oil Pick Up Pipe and O Ring
* Intake Ports Clean
* New Injector Seals
* New Revision G DVI attach a picture of the Intake Valves before cleaning. This was roughly at 70K. Sadly I don't have any 'After' pics as I am still waiting for Alex to send me those. He's a busy man, we all know :)
Met my dream car on the way..such a tease! Tried to keep up but she soon disappeared :confused:

Great thread mate, some good mods, I would love a BCS exhaust at some point!
I'm hopefully booking a remap early next year, also need to pay that a/c man a visit, as mine doesn't work!
Did your old mfsw not control the headunits? The only thing that's not my taste is your choice of badges and stickers.

Thanks mate :smiley: That Aircon man (Darren) is fantastic. Try mentioning my name as a reference and he might give you few quid off. My old MFSW did control the audio but there was no track change, let alone change folders. This new one (with a new Gateway) does everything.
Appreciate the badges and stickers are not to everyone's taste :wink:
patpong_pete:
did it cost alot £££ and how much has it improved the car with having Intake Valves cleaned ?
nice car and build any more plans

Stunning roads and gorgeous car! Are you leaving the skirts etc. black or are you planning to colour code?
