Ok, so I have a few things on the go and I don't even know if I can list everything I've done so far - but here goes.
Mods to date in order:
ABD turbo intake pipe
3" intake pipe to modified airbox
APR chippies
Eibach springs
Reamus rear box
Front and rear whiteline sway bars
Neuspeed intercooler pipe
Last week I paid a visit to vw_tech who gave the car a much needed service and gave me plenty of little pointers. We replaced the plugs, oil, oil filter, fuel filter. We used the newer style plugs (cant think of the name of them) but they have made the car much smoother sounding. Big thumbs up - thanks again mate!
At the moment the car is off the road having my KW v2 coilovers fitted. Whilst all the bouncy bits are out I thought I'd replace all of the bushes whilst I'm at it (the car has done 120k and i knew one of them was rs). I cant think of the brand name of them - but I'll get back to you all with that shortly.
I'm also upgrading the dogbone mount which should help eliminate a fair bit of the wheel tramp. Once it's back I hope to play around with the sway bars with the coilovers to get the handling top notch. I really cant wait to drive it again and put it through some twisties. It was the one thing I really thought lacked after taking the car for it's first spirited run. The swaybars on their own was an amazing difference, so I can't wait for the coilovers now.
Next up I have a rieger rear bar sitting under my bed that is waiting to be painted up along with side skirts (not too sure about them yet though). I also have a boser hood extension that also requires a lick of paint and a badgeless grill (remaining black). I'm hunting for a set of wheels too but they will have to wait until I get up to Sydney cause I don't have enough room to move them up separate.
My new found mate Ian from Rennenhaus is also going to get some more toys in for me shortly. I'm getting the pod adapter that sits down in the front guard far far far away from the MAF. I'm also going to upgrade my n75 valve as I believe mine is the older style with the lesser load rating.
That's about all for now - well at least until the new year anyway. My next mod after that is something from within APR's catalogue. More on that to come later.

If you already have the back part of the exhaust sorted maybe have a look at an APR down-pipe for up front, their stuff is relatively expensive but I've found the quality is awesome and the R&D on their products is thorough and spot on from my experience.
