Yeah, the P3 is great. I did get an NSP Mechanical Gauge though so I can monitor boost on that and other stuff on the P3. Most people go and get the Polar FIS+ though.

Has come a long way! I like the direction you have heading with it of late, one good looking mk5

Also bought some Daily wheels so I don't have to butt clench around every cop I see.

GTCX 18x8.5+45, they're currently Hyper Silver, but I'm gonna have them resprayed in a Darker Gunmetal/Anthracite kinda look. Before you ask "Why didn't you buy them in Anthracite?" The wheels I purchased are second hand and an epic deal. :p

http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...LAqC6png-1.jpg

wow, two great looking cars, I like the new wheel choice.

That's a nice GTI you have there!, after 2 years of not being able to do much to my GTI, seeing this helps me hold out until I can start spending some real cash on it..!!

Best place to start is a Tune. The mod bug bit me very quickly after that. :P

New daily wheels, woo.

GT CX 18x8.5+45 235/40 R18, very distinct improvement in grip over very stretched 225/45's and got my 0-100 down to 5.01 last night in slightly wet weather with a bit of wheel spin. Yes, the car is filthy, please forgive me. :(

Bro the car is spotless :) wheels look nice

Decided to do the oil filler neck delete for a cleaner look since I intend on owning the car for a long time.

Yeah, but it'll need to be modified. I prefer the no engine cover look anyway.

Had the whole carbon thing going a few months ago.
