Good work mate.

Keen to learn a little more about the Pedders set-up.

I do beleive Pedders used DMS (Drummond Motorsport) who build quality stuff.

Well been doing much researching for suspension and at the end of the day you get what you pay for so I'm going for the Koni coilovers.

Had heaps of help from everyone here reading old post etc and all the places I have called for quotes were really good, properly going to get Centreline suspension to do it spoke to them today.

Water Boy, not to sure about the Pedders option haven't read much good about them so I'm just not going to risk it.

Also check out Toper Performance in Vermont.

On another note I'm an Android phone user and have found a very cool app called "Torque" which can be found on the market, It uses data from the OBD2 port in the car to display on the phone via bluetooth.



I'm going to be testing it tonight so I will let you guys know how it goes.

How did you go with this app?

How did you go with this app?

The App looks great its just the adapter that I got is a cheap one that wont connect, Ill need to get a new one so test it properly

Going to hold off on the coilovers after talking to some VW guys on Friday night (Thanks for the help guys).

Going for the chip this weekend and then bigger brakes, also just put 18s on.

Coilovers will look dope!

You getting a GIAC tune?

just noticed the white lower grills, there not factory are they?
paint the lower valance front and back, and lower it.
Looking goood

[theOctopus]

Yeah painted and cut out the backs of the lower grills, there's also red mesh behind them. Got them cheap of ebay just the see what they look like, will get the original ones done with the valances but I'm keen to get a rear valance with cut outs for the exhaust

[theOctopus]

Got the GIAC chip installed today by Lucas, the best money spent so far its unreal how good it is.

Thanks for the advice guys.

List of new stuff to add to the car

Dogbone mount
Pancake pipe replacement
Bigger brakes
Intake
Downpipe
Catback
Coilovers

In that order i think, will most likely do random exterior changes along the way too, so if any one has any recommendations like what brakes and intake it will make life so much easier.

Looks great mate. I really love the white ones, they look so clean and crisp that I always feel I should have waited and found one. Your wheels look nice too.

Thanks man.

Ive just got a boost gauge to fit and just as i get the wiring sorted, inline fuse, split connectors the works, now im going to have a tuff time trying to get the hose through the firewall.

Ive gone through so many DIYs and its just not quite the same but no good photos of the path through the firewall, think im going to try and pass it down with the bonnet release cable, any ideas guys?

Here's a pic of the boost gauge.
