My slightly modded scirocco R (adelaide)

[GTI Jimmy]

Your car looks sweet with the new tail lights. Looks great in the rising blue.

fixed the vibration sound the next day after I'd found some proper insulation tape to seal and secure the Soundaktor cable so it wasn't rattling anymore. Not even going to bother trying to put it back in now I've had it out for 2 weeks... much much better in car sound now. All natural sounds. I can possibly see it's benefit when the car was stock, but after the already "boomy" Akrapovic slip on, intake/ECU upgrades, there was an added drone most notably after releasing the accelerator completely, and letting the revs drop down to burbling level which was probably the most annoying sound I found with the car (and didn't realise this seems to be due to the Soundaktor).

Starting to think about going for an APR downpipe soon and keeping the Akrapovic slip on. Have heard that Miltek is recommended to be used with their catback more strictly than say APR. Anyone got any advice on this regarding which downpipe to pair with the Akrapovic slip-on and how the custom fit works?

... and if I'm going to do that, I might upgrade the intercooler (Not sure which route to go with that, have heard someone that wanted more after installing the Forge Twintercooler setup - he's replacing the stock intercooler with an APR one I think - Any advice would be great on this!) and fuel pump (future proof) at the same time and go for stage 1+...

and then I will hopefully be cured of my modding bug... hopefully. Loving the drive at the moment even as a daily driver, VWR springs have made a world of difference over bumpy/crashy/uneven Adelaide roads, much more comfortable and minimal drop. Will post pics of the new dropped level soon..

Been very busy mate! Will be looking out for you on the streets.

Hey Reschard, where did you get the LED lights from and did they need any coding or were they plug and play?

Once you start down that path you will never be done.......(insert evil laugh here)
