Just endured my first winter with the car and been battling against the M1 daily filth that seems to stick to it! Gave it a good foaming, clean, lime prime and three coats of wax to start to get it back in order. Good to see the protection I gave it last year seems to have done the job. Milltek getting fitted together with a Sachs clutch plate & cover asap! Excuse me for the obligatory underground car park shots :signLOL:

Good work pal, she's looking as good as ever! :notworthy:
:love:
-
Cheers Nath.
Lowering springs 100% needed after the exhaust and then I'm happy................for a while :signLOL:
-
Ahhhh the old chariot is still looking as good as when you had her Nath! Credit to you Andy! :happy2:
-
Cheers Mark, it arrived clean...................so it'll stay clean :signLOL:
-
Shiny shiny! :notworthy:
-
Hmmmm a shiny Black Edition 30 hmmmmm :drool: :drool:
Looks great :happy2:

On a trip to APS in Brackley to get my Sachs clutch fitted I thought it would be rude not to add some H&R 30mm lowering springs and a cat-back Milltek. Love the way the car feels now, not too much stiffer than the standard springs but hugely improved the handling and the Milltek really makes a difference.
APS offered a very knowledgeable service with no nonsense................can't recommend them enough!
Brakes on the agenda next! :grin:

How does the new clutch feel now? Surely ready for some more bhp now! :wink:

He's already got Revo! :innocent:

Yeah its looking good cheers Nath, coming together nicely! Plenty layers of wax on there you'll be glad to know.
It's pretty quick already :grin: not sure of the bhp but with the revo, cai & Milltek it doesn't hang about and I guess it's approx. 300 or maybe more. I'll have to get it on a RR sometime and find out.
Clutch is spot on, it's the 400lbs one from Sachs so a little heavier but after a few miles it's starting to be quite smooth. The one that came out didn't look in bad shape either, glad I didn't run that one into the ground just in case.
Brakes next, not sure to go good quality disks n pads upgrade or something more heavy duty :signLOL:

I like the look of this Miltek, but hate the fact that you can see the backbox from behind, or is my imagination. What size are the pipes?
-
That exhaust looks mahoooosive :congrats:
Just a small point, i would try and get some black number plate screw covers, it will make it look much neater (ocd sorry)
-
Welikeaps:
Yeah the back box can be seen when you get down low like I did to take this pic, only visible when you do though and still loads of clearance from the ground. The pipes are 80mm standard Milltek as far as I know..........i'll have to measure them! :grin:
Rich:
As your a Hemel local feel free to drop some black no. plate screw covers round anytime :signLOL: I'll gladly accept them.
-
Always been a hot looking motor this Andy. Glad to see you're continuing with that :happy2:
Bet the milltek sounds fruity :driver:
-
Cheers Pete!
The Milltek is resonated so not loud, don't want to attract any unwanted attention.
-
LOL... i don't have any.
Ill keep an eye out for your car. :happy2:
-
Hey Rich your pretty hand with your camera I see. If you fancy taking some shots sometime let me know! Matching cars etc :signLOL:
-
Looks great.
I've just picked up a black ed30!
I've got non resonated milltek, and downpipe ready for the weekend too :)
Looks great on H&R springs, I think that will be my next purchase.
-
Andy PM me your address I can send you some black covers :happy2:
-
mpm: Nice one! Get some spings on there plus some Revo action and a intake system and you'll be loving life..........................if a little skint temporarily :signLOL:
Mike: Legend, nice one and will drop my address over asap! Thank you!
-

I've got Revo on already, but I'm a bit dissapointed to be honest! I am planning to use panel filter instead of intake, seems alot of money for an intake, when VW spent 000s of hours working on the standard intake.

Stage 1 or Stage 2? With the intake just check out the 'for sale' section, I've not been on here long and have seen plenty of good 2nd hands ones on offer.
-
Andy PM me your address I can send you some black covers :happy2:
Received! Cheers Mike! :drinking:
-
Bit of a slow response, sorry!
Its stage 1 currently, I have just had TBE exhaust fitted.
Just waiting for stage 2 now.. Still looking for an intake to come up.
Anyways, back on topic :)
