    Well the plastics inside feel a bit cheaper than the Golf ones. But everything else feels more solid i.e. the doors etc. The handling is much better that the Golf ever was.

    As for the remap, surprisingly enough I CAN wait, the PD130 engine just pulls in every gear and as I said above is a massive improvement over the asthmatic 1.6 engine I had Big Smile

    Cheers Charlie, I've sold a couple more bits but still have the shocks and springs so next time your over I'll take you for a spin.

    I'm not sure what to do with the wheels yet, I quite like the standard ones so will probably just lower it on that in a couple of weeks time.

    2003 Fabia VRS, with lots of lovely stuff.
    2002 Clio Cup, very basic.

     Mine is still on the original exhaust so I'll wait for that to give up before I replace it, I'll be decating as well, and maybe some hi flo injectors as well.

    Cheers mate.

    I'll be ordering some coilies soon, and funnily enough S3 rims were on my mind as well. Probably keep it on the standard ones just now.

    Yeah same PD130 engine.

    Time for a quick update seen as I've been neglecting forums recently.

    No pictures as of yet, all I've done is remove dealer stickers/number plates, fit a rear polo wiper and an S2000 aerial.

    In my cupboard however I have the following waiting to be fitted.

    Weitec Coilovers, Polybushes, EGR Delete, Milltek Cat-Back, Green Storm Induction Kit and a Stainless Steel Boost Pipe to replace the crappy standard one. Once I have all that fitted then I'll get some pics on the go.

    In the mean time I stuck it on the rollers yesterday in 100% standard form to see what kind of power it was producing and to make sure all is well before I started playing with it.

    Here are the results, book figures are meant to be 130bhp and 229lb-ft torque so think it did quite well.

     Not bad John, you must be fairly pleased with those figures! Did you go down to wallace performance with the scottish vag group?

    Just uploading new photos at the moment as the weather was nice!

    That was Wallace Performance with the Eastside lot yesterday, I'm happy with the figures, wasn't expecting anything different.

    Just need to get cracking with all the mods now!

    That's the Forge intercooler. It's a great piece of kit, fitting was a doddle and the car is much happier on boost now.

    Some more goodies arrived yesterday to keep me busy over Christmas Smile

    There is also 6 Litres of Castrol Edge  en route to go with the ECS Magnetic Sump Plug.

    But until this lot clears it won't be going anywhere!
