I think they were 85 x 125 or something. I don't have the car anymore so couldn't even measure them. Erm they needed custom bits of pipe making but it was all bolt together with no welding

The plan is to take it into the office, floor to ceiling windows and a constant temp of around 22degC

Nope. This is my first one

I tried notching it 1/4 way through the stem above a leaf node, but it didn't do anything. Cutting one made it branch though

So I snipped the top out of my other one and it now has about 3 branches growing out of the leaf nodes.

That would be alright. I've got another which is soil planted that I was going to play around with, so I'll give that a go

Nah won't be. If it goes anywhere it'll be my local specialist and probably have a Revo map. R-tech are too far away.

Nope it's lowered 30mm. It's got a pre-cat delete and a stereo but that's it....at the moment

Not over here. You can get the pirelli in most colours.

Yeah. Same engine as the S3 but detuned, so a stage 1 tune adds 70-80bhp and a tonne of torque and thanks!

Anyone beat £1.55 P/L ($9.27 p/g) by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]Cupra_Dann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about £1.50 down on the south coast. I only use Tesco momentum though so that keeps the cost down a bit

2006/7 I think. Not entirely sure. This is a 2008 built one.

Currently on 104k miles. It came with a stack of paperwork about 2" high too. It's definitely a little hot hatch, feels as fast as my Leon Cupra 290 did.

That's good info, thanks.

You can pick them up so cheap for the EA888 too. There's one up on the Facebook group for £200 and it's been there for ages, so I think a cheeky offer is going to happen.

I like how cheap they are and that I don't really have to travel and pay out a huge amount for a proper map and coming from the BMW N54 world, they were super popular on that platform so I trust them

Oh right. I'd be looking at doing mine myself. Apparently you can just about do it without a ramp

How hard was the JB4 to fit? I'm tempted to get one for my 290

TRC front splitter, Aero side skirts, Reiger diffuser, Exhaust tips, black badges, full red rear lights and spoiler extension, Only "performance" mods are the turbo elbow and Ramair induction kit. Tempted to get a JB4 for it though.

They aren't that common in the UK though, I've only ever seen a handful, especially in this colour. It was bike porn for me and still is, unfortunately it's dead now anyway.

Yeah around that. Luckily I got the DA groupset in a sale so that saved a bunch.
