Follow on this.. always wanted a 1.8t MK1 but an R engined one just changed that 😍

Contact Niki at R-tech performance in Hinckley. Mapped multiple of my previous vags and I will be going back to him to go stage 2 without question.

Get a Carista obd jobby. £20 for it with one month's free trial and even then it's only £33 for the year. I've got one, did the months trial and adjusted and turned on/off what I wanted, soundaktor inclusive. Code reader the lot, handy to keep in the car. Really super easy to use. Mine is set to 0%. I want real noises, not artificial ones. 💪

Quite intrigued as to the lifespan of the filter and cost of replacement?

I really do fancy it. Just to be different... I feel this is a must, solely on 'R&D' purposes 😂🙈

What @Skimp said... In Leicester? Go and have a chat with Niki at R-tech performance in Hinckley. Had multiple cars mapped by him and the service is second to none. There's some power figure and maps on their Facebook page to give you a taste. At £375+vat for stage 1 engine and dsg tune package it's also incredible value for a proper map as opposed to some generics. Once I have all my stage 2 bits collected and on then I'll be off to see him myself.

Just had a nosy on their site. Get the vag duct in there too, that's a bloody good buy that.... Wish I'd seen it 🙄

Crikey... This reminds me of the 106 quiksilver I had and put a 106 GTi engine in. All 120bhp from the 1.6 felt so fast 😂

Ram air intake pipe and elbow on eBay directly from them at £119 delivered in blue, black or red. Uber easy and good fit. Saves a few quid... Bang a panel filter in too all for less that the price of one of the aforementioned intakes. Picked up a panel from ram air at the same time for £28 but not sure they're still on there

Bought a stubby gun myself a few weeks back... Wouldn't change back to the long lance personally, it's great.

Took this little number out for a test drive... Quite the experience, definitely left a better finish than the usual drying towel method.

Gold. Only because I really want to see what they look like on red to make me push that buy button 😂

And this arrived earlier than planned... Now just need a dirty car to try it all out on 😂

Dr dirt bottle. Topple over and swan dive off the wall now you little swine.... £7 well spent

https://www.aerofabb.com/products/vw-mk7-gti-golf-r-v2-spoiler-extension At present I'm split between the above and the srs-tec one. 😣

Those tools look mega. I've just pulled the trigger on a carbon collective air force 1... This could've been two birds one stone job 😔 Cheers though

https://www.car-chem.com/shop/super-suds-shampoo @keano This.... I've been through all sorts of shampoo, this is fantastic and goes an absolute mile. 1 litre lasts me months, I wash the R twice a week. Wouldn't choose anything else, they have a ceramic infused too if that's of interest too.

Cut out and clamped on. The clamp and sealant required are supplied with the kit. Took a local trusted specialist about 25 minutes and cost me £20 and a pack of Jaffa cakes to fit it. Nige on here is who I dealt with over the phone when ordering. Fantastic service and came faster than originally quoted. Yeah it's more expensive than other options but it's really well made with good welds and R & D have obviously been a priority with how the finished product sounds.

There's only one choice in my opinion. BCS non drone Res delete from powervalve exhausts. Fitted mine a couple days ago and it's mega, exactly what an R should sound like in my opinion. Not intrusive when cruising but once that right foot drops sounds mega and the over run... Perfect.

Yeaaah top man. I love it, cannot get enough of it gargling away, had a good pop out of it earlier in a built up residential area and got me all frothy 🤣 It's a slippery slope as I'm just finding out. 💸💸💸

So after a year and half I have finally had enough of the cordless gtech I have. Purely for the battery charging and my lack of memory to do so... 😅 Recommend me a corded bagless vacuum for the car? Ta

This is rather addictive in race mode.

Personally wouldn't say so. Just resisting dropping the windows and giving it a foot full is pretty hard 🤣 can't wait for a tunnel 😬

This is exactly the route I'll be going down but scorpion downpipe with standard back box and BCS de-res. Interested to see what figures you extract from that 380x.
