Thats stupid money @paulw123 Ebay is your friend when looking for these l think.

Today, after getting back from Mackenzies VW in Lichfield none the wiser about why my car started shaking at 2000 revs, I decided to fit my Forge Motorsports carbon canister hoses.
I spoke to @th3_f15t after seeing his installed in his build thread, he gave me advice as to what size jubilee clips to buy, so, a trip to Halfords and I was ready to go. Fitting was easy, just a case of getting the original clamps off, removing the hoses and replacing with the Forge ones.



Looking good!  :happy2:

Next job is to finally get around to fitting my Forge TwinTake. Hopefully if the weather continues to be nice l will get it done in the next few days.

Thanks for reading. Any comments welcomed.

Hit one of the many potholes that decorate our roads the other day, the back end of the car sounds like its made up of random bits of metal banging into each other now. Car is booked in at Midland VW next week to sort this out, hopefully its just the springs, which are being replaced with Eibach Sportlines anyway.

Also had a bit of a rush of blood last night and bought myself some TTRS calipers on eBay. These should be delivered next week, so now lm looking at putting together a nice brake set up. Im thinking 340mm discs, Brembo pads and HEL braided lines. Any recommendations?

Only today someone listed a set of those calipers pretty cheap! The 340mm discs will be fine, 370mm add extra weight to each corner. If you want to splash out on a good set of discs and pads, get in touch with AKS Tuning as they can supply J-hook discs and Pagid RS pads which are highly rated.

I saw those, was a bit gutted, but if l factor in the price of a refurb and painting and decals etc its about what l paid so lm not too bothered. Thanks for the disc and pad recommendations, will see what AKS have to offer.
