    Future Mods, well today the ECS 310mm 2 piece rear rotors are going on, and waiting for ECS to get the Stage 2 Version 2 Fronts in, which is a 2 piece 332mm, with carrier and hawk pads. Not cheap, but seeing as I did the rears, i want to do the fronts too.

    Working on putting some bonnet struts in too, Got the Downpipe finished the other day, need to bulid the rear part. Going to get car on a hoist and build over the ream beam with some mandrel bends

    Found some threads on the Passat W8 interior light, looks interesting.

    Now i know someone who can weld, the sky is the limit.

    Future future future mods, well 2 seats, Recaro Sportster CS's probably, cage the rear half, Cup front bumper, custom intercooler, more detailing, water meth, more power, LSD

    nice one troy! that's dedication and determination - "modding" the polo has made me go the other way - apart from coilies, bushes, tyres and remap, im not going to go any further than that haha.

    how do you find the falkens? do they need much heat in them, and are tyre pressures easy to find/sort?

    building that part of the exhaust will be fun. When you get all the materials, sing out and we'll smash it out in a day

    through some photos up of the welds and stuff, everyone knows what your car looks like

    Tried to do some work today, but things didnt go my way.

    Stripped the bottom bolt of the rear calipers, not much room to get a 1/2 drive in there, Doh. Going to have to wait till Tim can weld something to the bolt to get it off







    I was trying to put these on
