I think I can still get my shoe in that gap

Will be watching this project closely! Had wanted to do a 4x4 conversion to mine, but lack of funds, space, time and know-how put me off 😅

"Surely with that set up you get rubbish MPG" You'll be surprised when it's not on boost all the time. In other, once I've got the body work/rusty bits sorted... Time will tell.

Track day successful. Didn't blow up or slide off. But got black flagged on the first outing for being too loud.

Howdy do de. Just how simple will it be to install rear VRS brakes to a non-VRS Octi? In my mind it should be very much straight forward, but thought I'd ask, just in case, before I start spending the money! We're talking the whole sha-bang : Disks, Calipers, Pads. Currently have FreakyParts big brake kit on the front (4 pot 345mm disks) which work *really* well, but the rears, not so much! That and they look tiny back there!

Slamming it when?

Wrap design is still being gone over...

Wheels and new rubber on. VRS door bump strips painted and fitted. Side skirts painted and fitted. Still looking for a decent rear VRS bumper. Cupra R chin spoiler to go on at some point.

These are Rotiform VCE wheels Last owner had them on an Audi!

Rusty door shuts. Did attempt to repair myself. You've got to try right? But alas, it didn't last and it came back again about a year later. So a quick visit to TPSmart repair... Top job. They also repaired the sills along the front as those were pretty rusted. Cut it all out and put new metal in. Next up, new side skirts and VRS door bump strips. Still trying to find a half decent VRS rear bumper, which hasn't been rammed into everything... - In other, cleaned up the old mans Octi engine bay. - Finally fitted the new engine mounts. Not driven much since putting them in. Have noticed the cabin is louder with vibrations, but it doesn't really bother me. Its only really noticeable whilst at a standstill. - Other bits to maybe mention on. Trying out an Ultragauge. Still not got rubber for the new wheels. Had a small slip on some diesel into a muddy bank. Fitted a VRS front. And not pictured, managed to rust treat most of the underside and added a layer of waxyoil. That wasn't a fun task... Rear subframe is far too rusted for my liking. Next month, we're going down the Verkline route :

Some whooosh noises...

Really liking this. Look forward to seeing more

Small updates and stuff. Did fit a short shift kit, but failed to make a note of the shifters adjustments. Got it back shifting as it was before, but had to make a tool for the gear stick as I lost a drill bit down the hole. Thanks Haynes... Now have a set of Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts to go on. Fast road only, I'm told the comp ones are far too harsh.
