Hi and welcome to the club ;)

Looks like quite an impressive spec you've got, and more to come :D
What sort of power are you making at the moment? Any pics?

Cheers

i'm after 380 so i think i should hit that, will run the TT @ 1.6 bar, i just had it fully reconditioned at AET in wakey and they've done a good job

straight intake and battery move this week then FMIC install then its just injectors and mapping the PFC. just trotting around at 1 bar at mo so not really making use of anything at moment. Here she is, UK spec with late spec everything. wouldnt mind some leather seats inside but im in no rush for that.

when i put decat on last week was surprised how light the frontend felt without cat - might be doing some lightening work next but i do like the air con!! Mybe i should buy a nice diesel as a day to day car!

Welcome.  :)

Great spec., nice looking motor (ok, i'm a little bit biased).

Oh, and I bought a little diesel as a day-to-day car and it's definitely a good idea if you can. Only trouble is, you get a worse perspective on how expensive the Four is to run!

And a much better perspective on how good the 4 feels to drive :D

Moving the battery will help with weight distribution, and hey, if you need to cool down open ya window ;) bin the air con
Leather seats won't help with the weight, but I suppose if you're using it daily then comfort comes first?
Get the diesel, strip the 4 out 8)
