Items on order:

I will be out on track days soon! Can't wait to get many more miles under my belt

Looks smart! My dad had some fitted to his focus when he was driving.
May be a silly question but how do you accelerate with them?
-
The do the job :-)
You pull the lever to the right of the steering wheel to accelerate and push it to brake

Very nice motor... :happy2:

Thanks Neil! My wheels are off to be powder coated and waiting on my yoko's to turn up and I'll be ready to get on track! Won't be up to speed enough yet to warrant the AP's to be installed ;-)

I am certified in fitting hand controls and have to test drive each one after fitting. It literally scares the crap out of me each time! Hats off to you driving around and living with it daily.
Awesome car btw :smiley:

Thanks everyone. The red is stunning in the sun light!
The hand controls definitely do take some getting used to!

Great looking car fella and good luck with it! :happy2:

Nice to see some newer GTi's on here
Wasn't sure on the mk7 at first but they've grown on me and they look fantastic
Good luck with the hand controls

Thanks everyone.
I wanted to get it on the Dyno before the Revo map but doesn't look like it's going to happen! Will get it on the Dyno after the map is on and the intake goes on!

Well 500 miles have been done and went to my local Dyno today. Never used them before and thought I would give them a go! Well all I can say is that I was disappointed by the results! The operators didn't know how to run a dsg car on their Dyno and said they would try their best. Not happy but after being booked in and wanted the free instal of my intake I just went for it!
Anyway, their Dyno showed the car at 202bhp standard, 213bhp with the Revo air intake. Not bad I thought! 11bhp upgrade will do me!
On to good news! Revo stage 1 map tomorrow and go and pick up my newly refinished Oz Alleggerita wheels in high gloss black! Anyway here are some pics! I will be going somewhere else to get my Dyno results from now on! On the upside, the noise from the turbo now the intake has been installed sounds great!
