I see that one for sale but it didn't make me want to own it.for some reason I wanted a stock car and do it myself yes it costs more but I know it's done right.


I found my car,got it for a steal as you think for 2k more what would you rather? A facelift low mile car or that..

I've spent some money on mods maybe but it's done it's all new and will be mapped correctly and hopefully be a fast car.plus I maybe a little out of pocket but I can say I don't it too :).


Some parts should arrive today.can I for my uprated intercooler with the standard fuel pump internals?

Cool I have no vice can I use a pair of grips but padded? That's my prob no vice.


Plus I'm a bit worried about doing the hpfp not because I'm not competent to do it just looks quite fiddle and all the guides are good but they are not that clear when your worried about it lol.


Just wana get some mods on lol.

I can load a stage 1 map on too with the Cobb.if it will make any difference at all?

You will 100% need a vice .

The fiddly bit is re-attaching the fuel line , well it looked it when adam was doing mine haha. Stick some fresh 1 step colder plugs in before you put a map on gapped to 0.7-8mm

Cool I'll have to get plugs too,what plugs are best to use?

Will have to get my mechanic to gap them for me.i may just wait and get them done when he fits my down pipe fit that and the tmic,2nd decat,down pipe,intake and all that hpfp then get a stage 2 flash put on the Cobb.


Means waiting longer but it will be safer too.

Car looks really nice! I haven't yet seen a black MKI facelift model. I had same temptation whilst shopping for mine 16 months ago. I paid £2500 more (£8500) and travelled even further to get it. Well worth it :D

I'd like to see what power you'll gain when you have installed all the mods :)

I paid 8.5k for mine well worth it! Just dying for some spacers or wheels ...


Half the parts have come so I will wait for the rest of the bits but in the mean time get the Cobb installed on the PC and get some maps loaded on ready to go!
