Steve

Cheers Steve

Dunno why the pics arent showing up properly only as links?

Also how do i change the name of the link so it says for example "clicky" etc

Carl:thumbup:

Very nice Carl

An impressive list of mods you have done, must have cost a fair bit.

I would like to do some of those mods to mine, but alas I don't have the funds :(

Like the engine bay shot, retaining the engine cover was a nice touch.

That last shot with the colour coded grille has convinced me that it is worth doing on mine after all. I thought that it really only suited red and black, but surprisingly blue looks great too

You must be proud of the car, and the work/time/money you have invested in it to get it to it's current state... And rightly so!

Nice one Carl

Cheers

Btw try and use photobucket or similar next time, as it's a PITA clicking off site for each picture.

Cheers

Damian

Carl:thumbup:

Sorry fella

I'm typing and viewing on my iPhone atm

By the time I had typed that you had written another post about being unable to get the pics without the links

My bad

Also how do i change the name of the link so it says for example "clicky" etc

Carl:thumbup:

Just like that done :P

It's a function of a thread in Member's Cars that off-site image links aren't displayed. Best is to load them into your Brisky gallery space as attachments to the first post, then they'll display as thumbnails at the bottom

Steve

Top drawer motor this!

Wheres the "retrofit dual zone" in the planned mods? :P

Revo StageII+ for the 2.0TFSi is still on the KO3 isn't it? Just with the replacement high pressure fuel pump?

Jason, WTF did you do???

I've fixed the links again, NOOB :P

Tom you know full well i have enquired about this and it cant be done :P

Yes Shark it is.

Basically Stage II+ requirments are TBE, CAI & at least fuel pump internals uprated. But with the recent bad batches its better to go for an APR Pump

Jason, WTF did you do???

I've fixed the links again, NOOB :P

Ok please tell me either on here or in a PM how you did that Pleeeeeeeeease

that's one good looking car Carl...

Is it really £600s worth of good?!

Ok please tell me either on here or in a PM how you did that Pleeeeeeeeease

If you remove the # you can put any link you like in where the web addy is, then any text you like where your blue bullit bit is, just keep all the square brackets in it like this: Nice tits!

Is it really £600s worth of good?!

If your on about the APR pump then yes. I am toying with the idea of doing it but dont see the need at the mo due to having no issues with Autotech internals. But i did get one of the early batches

Carl:thumbup:

it is sweet motor, but Carl it couldnt possibly be the blue bullet as thats parked outside my house right now.:P

Sy:thumbup:

Erm i have had that name since Mar 2007 so I'm afraid yours can only be the Blue Bullet Casing as mine is quicker than yours, my dad is bigger than yours, you may have been to Tenerife but i have been to elevenerife and that elephant you have i've got a cage for :P

Carl:thumbup:

Damn mione was named that in sept 07

i thought no one would beat that elephant.

well i hereby rename mine the blue bolt.

can it not be a blue bullet but smaller calibre then si.

If your on about the APR pump then yes. I am toying with the idea of doing it but dont see the need at the mo due to having no issues with Autotech internals. But i did get one of the early batches

Carl:thumbup:

I'm using Makefishes old autotech pump internals for the last 10k and have to say it is excellent and makes 288bhp.

Since you asked so nicely :P

Damn you!!!! I clicked expecting breastage!!!!:rotz::rofl:

Did you do the 'Chrome Grill surround in Race Blue & Lower Front Grill yourself or did you get it done?

Want to do the same to mine, but not too good when it comes to spray paint!
