    Haha thanks mate. It has been a labour of love but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's ready for the full tune now, just gotta find the time to do some data logging. You should get a mk4 they are sooo much fun to mess around with and quite cheap now too. Beastly little motor that 1.8t

    just read 37 pages... jeepers you had some big ups and downs!!
    look forward to the finished product when ever that is... 2016?? lol
    looking great so far with the mesh in the R32 bar certainly makes it look neater and will protect the cooler from stray debris when driving all the way from home to Gavin's place haha!!
    just making me want a mk4 GTI more and more...even with all the silly problems they seem to get they seem worth it

    Have you sided out the south bend clutch kits? I have one in mine and really happy with it. Quieter than the suches clutch kit I had.

    Yeah, I can't wait . I've also found a gearbox that I'll be sending down to Adelaide to get my wavetrak installed need moar grip even with the base tune! Also gonna be ordering a new clutch, got my eyes on an fx400. Where do people recommend buying these from? I was thinking ECS but their shipping is insane. I think 034 and IE stock them as well but I don't know of anyone else. Also would I be able to keep my current flywheel with the fx400? Or will I need a different one?

    Just noticed this thread was closed, not sure how or for how long but we are back in business now not much to report really. Drove all the way to Byron and back without anything going wrong, which is good. Pretty sure my clutch is dying though, hasn't started slipping yet but the pedal feels like mud and it's pick up is pretty high in the pedals travel.
    Oh and maintenance is paramount!

    Re-trimmed the headliner yesterday. That foam that's on the from factory is a nightmare!!

    Before:


    After:


    Spotlight actually have a materiel for car apholstery so it's got a soft foam backing. Over-all pretty happy with how it turned out, not perfect especially around the sunroof control panel. But a lot better than before haha

    So car misfires at high rpm and boost if the plug gap is over 0.22 this seem right?
