its not essential as it looks really good when i was following you, im just a bad influence as yu can tell after checking out the rear of my car haha

i know can't believe how clean it looks in them pics, hasn't been washed since last friday.

it still had plenty more to give was tickling the throttle, bet its nothing compared to the 911 crushing punto though, you lost me going through town that much i went to train station to get on the train i was that embarresed



You can have it for a tenner for fitting the springs for me tday

Looks better lowered pal, looks like you could use some spacers on the rear all i have on mine are 10mm but they made a difference, but car looks sweeeeeeeeeeet.

r8 then little update

been down to Shark Performance today, he plugged his laptop in did his magic and a fault code check found no problems.

popped open the bonnet and checked for a boost leak with some machine that chucked a load of white smoke out to see if there was a leak, it didn't show anything but one of the seals has gone he said as there was alot of oil on the pipe. he gave it a clean and put it all back together and it feels fine now really pulls well now.

anyway he gave me a part number: 6Q0 145 117 A

belows a pic of the bit he looked at.


number 23 on the image is were the oil was coming out.

unless it was a bad boost leak it shouldn't be Causing an issue at all and the fact that he cleaned out the pipe also shouldn't make any difference at all......unless he has changed something on the map without you knowing ad bet money the power graph will be the same mate

did you show him the graph???

thanks

Jason

yeah showed him the graph he said it was nowt really

dunno what he's done but it feels different pulls all the way through the rev's

guess we'll see on the next rolling road day

yeah it'll be interesting, the graph that he says is "nowt" is far from though as Noble's agreed, that was a pretty nasty drop in power and torque and the pipe cleaning certainly wount have cured that lol, he might have changed something without saying ?? either way as long as its ok that the main thing right

RR day here we come

jason

yeah guess we'll only know when we get back on the RR

Fingers crossed it's sorted the problem for you mate

i'm wondering if he's put a different map on it, i dunno?

its ok guessing but RR day will tell.


i just want to know!!!

If it feels faster than before then it must have a different map the other thing could just be psychalogical because it's been in to be looked at

odd for someone to say that a dip in a power curve is "nowt" fair enough if it tailed off but it clearly dips then continues to rise..... *adds shark performance to the list of places not to use

Little update:

i've been buying, just a couple of cosmetics and a few mechanical bits and bobs

firstly i've got some of the Ibiza cupra bushes and i still need to order the powerflex front wishbone front bushes, if anyone knows who does em please let me know.

also i got myself a new aerial from the new polo after first noticing them last year whilst on holiday so i thought i'd treat myself to one £13 from VW and not the £15 someone is selling them on eBay for.

Finally bought a 12X28 sheet of Lamin-X to do my rear lights

here's a few pics.
Before

After






you can just about see my aerial in the first two pics aswell

Looks better iv'e always liked black cars with smoked lights very stealth
aeriel looks top too.

i know same here had my eyes on it for months just thought bollocks to it i'm havin some.

seems like good stuff though its quite thick.

Looks cool nice little mods as for the bushes i got all mine from awesome gti try them

yeah thats who i usually use just thought i'd see if there was somewere cheaper, do they make a difference then?

Mine we're absolutely buggered so yeah lol the one i felt the most difference with was the torque link bush well worth the money in my opinion
