Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Soo, car now sounds like a clapped out old commodore
the rear muffler has developed a nasty rattle in between 1200-2200rpm. Not really too surprising, the muffler hangs pretty low and has copped its fair share of abuse. Hopefully it's just the tip and I don't have to replace the whole back box.

Just thought I'd share how the engine bay looks atm. Not much has changed just a general tidy up and covered the airbox in CF vinyl for extra kw's

So I should have everything for the brake upgrade by the weekend (just waiting on rear discs, pads and carrier spacers). As I've bought used calipers the pistons needed resetting. Fronts are simple and just push back in with a c-clamp, while the rears are a little more difficult. Because the rears have an integrated hand brake the pistons need to be twisted clockwise as they are pushed back in. This isn't too much of a hassle as most cars are like this so I could easily buy a universal tool to from supercheap auto. Well, when they say 'universal' what they really mean is everything except vw
I ended up 'customising' it by cutting two tabs of the biggest side (the top left and bottom right tabs in the photo)
Piston reset, black on yellow May not have been the wisest choice haha
Fronts with pads mocked up
I have a question regarding the pads. Is the one closest the piston supposed to be held in place by anything? The outside one is held in place by the clip but the one next to the piston just sits there loose. I've never done brakes before so this may be a stupid question.
And one last photo to show the size of these calipers, gotta be twice the size of the gti ones
