Hi , Any pictures of intetior and alloys? -
Hay guys can anyone advise the best plugs and coil pack to go for in a 2003 mk1 vrs estate. Its recently run 280bhp and Im new to this game as the car was bought like this. I have been advised to change them as its a little lumpy when cold and I assume it has had its originals for some time. Someone I know suggested an uprated coil pack , ?red ones? I would appreciate any advice. im also need to change gear box oil, any advice on best oil to use would also be appreciated. cheers james

Hi guys, I have not long bought a mk1 vrs estate 1.8T and it had been tuned up by a monkey. Ive since taken to a turbo specialist and have done some extensive work on engine and they rolling rd it at 280bhp , however the exhuast is not good, I was advised I need to find a downpipe to fit T28 turbo, just wonderimg if anyone knows any companies I could get off the shelf ?or companies near south wales? Cheers for your help. james

Well guys , had car back from got boost in bridgend, gotta say they know thier stuff. Cars been transformed into how it should of been when I bought it. It was leaking pressure everywhere so all pipes needed changing, they also did alot of work on engine, the nob I bought car off did a micky mouse job there was bits of make shift hose under bonnet and all sorts of bodgery, Its now been all sorted and they said it was 280bhp onrolling rd which is awesome. Unfortunately there are still bits that need doing such as down pipe from turbo, its a T28 turbo and its got a crap make shift down pipe on there so garage advised change this and to go for miltek cat back as current drain pipe exhaust sucks which I have to agree. any suggestions on where to find a down pipe to fit this turbo would be appreciated. Cherrs james ps drove it back today on m4 with a big grin on my face. -

Cheers guys, if I went for koni shocks and h + r springs can you still fit arb's front and rear with not too much difficulty? Would you do both suspension and arb's? Or just suspension to start with? Im going to have to hold out a little while as I need the car rolling roaded very soon to ensure engine is all good with its mods as car is a new purchase and dont want any suprises.im sure that will cost., appreciate the advice. Sounds quite reasonable for suspension compared to what ive seen so far.

My local mechanic said car seems pritty good generally and underneath was good. He admits to be no expert with a tuned engine such as this though. The guy I bought it from said it has a racing clutch but again missingmy vrs you may be right. I hope not though.
