VAG = Euro = Smoothness = Smoothing bits you can't see



Looking good Lee

its like a corsa airbox in the sence that theres stupid pipes in there restircting flow, im not going to the effort of sanding it down or shit, but i've seen somewhere dyno results of a standard airbox vs a derestricted one and there is improvement, plus it costs nothing no meh

air filter in, all fins in airbox upper and lower snapped out, every little helps and all that, also got a polybushed dogbone cheap, should stop it wheel hopping a little bit. just waiting on injectors still, have my eye on a forge turbo intake pipe too and still waiting on a guy getting back to me about a 3" maf

before and after


fins gone


poly mount


will fit the my ebc pads and discs when its a bit drier too, probably be under the car xmas day, wouldn't be the first time!

What's it like with that bush in the DB mount? Heard they can vibrate a bit until they're worn in.

Golf needs a new bush but dunno whether to go for a poly one or diesel one.

well, day off, weather....dry but cold, so decided to whap my brakes on, first things first though, food and motivation

Bacon sarnie

Top gear


Parts in question (rear discs were replaced before i bought so never bothered with ebc for them)



4x4 mode


old crap off


old pads and discs were buggered, bigger lips than lesley ash


new stuff on


never been a fan of green calipers, and red pads just topped it off! so....


replaced the dogbone mount to for a poly one, feels a lot more positive and has prevented a bit of wheel hop, not bad for £20 anyhow


then some pics once brakes were bedded in (the right way.....70-0 a few times)







and the temperature for most of the day......
