This really is the problem today. Everyone assumes the only way to do something is to buy a heap of parts or "better yet", a kit and get someone to put it all together for you.

Sure it works, but you're paying for someone elses knowledge (which in some cases can be questionable). I'd rather get all the relevant information if i don't know it already and do it my own way with my own hands doing the work as much as possible. Much more satisfying and much, MUCH cheaper.


I salute you, Jay. You're very smart, skilled, and a cool guy to boot. 'Some' people should take more notice of guys like you.

Completely agree. I tend to jump in on the DIY with everything on my car, unless it's TOO much to do. I don't remember the last time someone else did something on my car though...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this car is absolutely wicked and I will hate you forever. :p

How do you open the boot?

How do you open the boot?

i would say solenoid boot pops they are similar to how a cetral locking system works press a button and i unlocks the fiddly part is opening without a grab handle but the boot is so smooth

This is a ebay kit

[Mr. JLT]

I used the same solenoid that pops the gas door to pop the boot/hatch and it plugs right into the vw harness. I just had to make a few small brackets to mount it. So I can pop it from my factory vw(.:R) remote and the drivers side door switch.

Top notch work mate! Get some Vegemite into ya

[Mr. JLT]

I installed one of the front brakes, the other one is still drying. I'm waiting for the exhaust shop to come pick up the car to do the exhaust and wastegate and weld some of the Awic piping, But in the mean while I'm still tiding up some small things in the engine bay and I need to install the other brake and raise up the coilovers a bit for the exhaust shop.

[Mr. JLT]

No the rotors are custom from my buddies shop- Zimmerman rotors, pads are Hawk

[Mr. JLT]

The front and rear calipers are off a Vw Toureg, but they are the same as the Q-7 and the Cayenne and a few other porsches
