  1. When I was a kid, I was asked to take the directors automatic jag down the road for some new tyres. It was lunch time and all the office girls were walking down the road. I accelerated out the car park and went for the clutch just as I was overtaking them. The car came to a juddering halt with tyre smoke everywhere. An embarrassing lesson if there ever was one! Anyway, liking the red on your new beastie (I wish mine was red), and I hope its got dcc as you'll need it for towing imho πŸ‘
  2. I've told my insurers about my latest mods and they replied... In response to your query, we have added Suspension Uprated/Lowered/Stiffened Springs & Dampers and Anti roll bars to your policy as you have requested and these have not affected your premium. Please contact us if you have any queries.
  3. Did you see Roscio's comments about him wanting to change the centre resonator for one from these chaps https://vibrantperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1527_1032_1535_1110&osCsid=d59361c9af4e2e8137bfd9e3d9e26248
  4. Almost.... In my book it needs a louder exhaust note to go with it, and stage 2 of course πŸ˜‰
  5. 7000rpm 😰 i'd be too afraid i'd break something if I tried that πŸ™‚
  6. why is the l & k badge lower than the Sportline badge, on the front wing
  7. My son took me back to collect my car from clp on Thursday evening. Whilst we were sat outside in his car having a vape, I heard a car come speeding up the cul de sac and I thought that sounds nice I wonder what is? I looked round and it was mine lol
  8. I occasionally carry a lot of weight so unfortunately I cant afford to lower it. And yes to the active dampers πŸ‘
  9. Only dampers and arb shy - They supplied and fitted both for a grand.
  10. So 40k classes it as a luxury car does it. Hmmmmm
  11. 40k for a skoda is bang out of order, I don't care how many options it's got
  12. This one https://clptuning.co.uk/product/hr-rear-anti-roll-bar-volkswagen-golf-mk7-r/
  13. freeglide - have you got an intermittently working light in your tailgate? mines like that, only the other way round. if I give mine a tap, it comes back on.
  14. Which boot LEDs did you go for Colin? Good work btw.
  15. That 'boaty' feeling has definitely gone. No more bouncing after going over speed humps. I now hit the speed bumps and the shock is absorbed straight away - none of the 2 or 3 bounces anymore. And its not too harsh a ride either. Just right I would say. No more worrying about the car drifting away at cornering either. I've not had chance to test the braking on rough surfaces yet, but I have every confidence it will have improved if all of the above are anything to go by. I am a happy bunny - If only penguin17 would return to give us the dimensions on his golf r estate backboxes, then that would make my day πŸ™‚
  16. Has anyone ever given thoughts to fitting functional bonnet vents? The strengthening beams on the underside don't leave much room to do this but I guess that part can be reworked. I would like to put wire meshing on the underside of the vents to. I have given thought to protection from water too and I have drawn inspiration from https://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot/380511-diy-rain-guards-ts-hood.html I would also like to be able to remove the water shield in summer so I can hear the engine noises. I welcome your positive thoughts......
