Mick's mk4 1.6 to 1.8t conversion

How are you guys enjoying your rear sway bars? Good investment ?

RSB and short shift are 2 of my favourite mods(.... And the garrett) the rear sway really gives you a lot more confidence turning into corners

All the little things make a big difference. My next project is getting the timing belt changed. Looking at a kit from ECS tuning worth about $409 that has everything including a metal bladed water pump and a gates kevlar racing timing belt. Also has lightweight underdrive pulleys for everything else!

Cars looking good! Just wondering where you picked up the front lip from? I'm looking for one as well but seems overpriced online.

I got my lip from a volkswagen dealer lol only $130

All done painted the rocker cover gloss red. I think it looks pretty good

After our chat last night the only option is to put in the gti accelerator pedal. Love the engine recording, sounds like a spitfire !

Are they different between the gti and 1.6? Also what did you do for the wiring in the plenum? Ive done mine and not even cranking
