VRS TSI - Zero to K04 (and more!) in 3 weeks

[muckipup]

My new toy arrived last weekend - a new TSI VRS in candy white which will eventually replace my TFSI VRS which also is a K04 convert. Here is a picture of the happy couple and a few of the new car

Got black Neptune alloys as an option:

...and alcantara black/red interior:

Modding plans:

K04, Revo software, Blueflame turbo back exhaust, Quaife ATB diff, Sachs clutch, ITG intake, Airtec intercooler, Bilstein B12 kit, Porsche 4-pot calipers, THS engine mounts and a bit of cosmetic stuff.

So on to the modding....

After 20mins on the driveway it was clear that the chrome grille surround had to go so that was in to the garage and the following day...

On Monday morning it was down to the tyre fitters to swap the tyres from the black Neptunes for Ronal R41s

    

Maybe not everyones cup of tea but it works for me.

Still to come this weekend, sill protectors on rear doors, adventurous eh?

Still in the garage is a Blueflame turbo back exhaust, Quaife ATB diff, Airtec intercooler, ITG intake, Bilstein B12 kit, Porsche 4-pot calipers

Going to drive it for another week or so to make sure everything is running tickety boo and then it is booked in to JKM for some serious stuff.

I think I will need to see a few before I do that. At the moment I am not too convinced. I have always liked the idea of car that looks nearly OEM but with a surprise under the bonnet

[missingmyvrs]

V?ry v?ry nice

You going to get it on a track or autobahn to use the power ??

Love both your cars well modded and looks to kill

Nice one matey.

[muckipup]

Cheers y'all

I have no plans to track the new one - I'll probably drive it like the old man that I am.

1 week today and it will be down to JKM

[D@z]

fair play to you for getting it done so quickly as well! Ive had mine just over a year and havent got that many mods sorted yet!

[muckipup]

Folks, my car is still going in next week but forgive me if I do not update this thread as often as I would wish....my 19 year old son died yesterday. I hope you can understand my priorities.

Jesus man, thats terrible,

Deepest condolences to you and your family

[D@z]

Very sorry to hear this, having children myself I can only imagine what you are going through.

[muckipup]

Thanks chaps, it has been pretty awful.

The details are still sketchy but it appears that he was at an end of term party and took something which is described as 'a legal high' and had a massive physiological reaction to it. So, if anything positive can come from this, it is for anyone else with kids who think that just because something is legal that it is safe. If you hear any kid saying that, feel free to direct them to me and I will describe what the aftermath can look like!
