Oh, also tell him you spoke with the guy in Camden / Ederslie who recomended him...maybe it is worth a few dollars off for you?

Where are you going to get them installed?

My mechanic is doing the install - B&D Cortese Prestige Car Artarmon - best blokes in town, wealth of knowledge and experience.

Springs being delivered Monday installing Tuesday.

*** Update ***

Project - Rejuvenate & Modify Octavia RS

Done (Phase 1)
- Full Service (Oils, filters and fluids)
- Brakes & Pads (all corners)
- Tyres (2)
- Check & Fix Gearbox leak
- Tints
- Eibach Springs (20mm drop) all round

Outstanding (Phase 1)
- Air-conditioning (not operating correctly, only one vent is expelling 'cold' air and the others just blowing cabin/outside air) anyone have this problem?
- Take car to panel beater to have paint looked at, cut & polish and touch up where required

Phase 2 (Replace existing engine parts)
- CAI (BSH True Seal)
- DV
- PCV (BSH)
- Downpipe (from turbo)
- Replace spark plugs and upgrade coil packs

Phase 3 (Performance & Tune)
- APR ECU flash
- Dyno tune

Currently there's a wait on the DV and so rather do it bit by bit, I'll wait till its available (while buying up other parts) to roll out the rest.

Here's some pics...

Nice - I would be a little concerned about the BSH CAI, could be rather noisey...

YouTube has an example of this CAI on a Golf

Going to get the muffler changed today. My mechanic had one stored away in his workshop and gave it to me to try.

Old one

New (used) one

Gonna see how this goes and sounds.

If you are going to throw out the old chrome tips, can I have them please?

**Mysticality** · 03-04-2013, 09:34 PM

I think your chrome grille surround would look amazing either black or red. Just saying.

Alas, the fitter at Quikfit Gladesville took one look and said... No. Why? Because it wouldn't fit in the small space... He offered to try but I didn't want to stuff around cutting off the stock then trying to fit it and then realise it wouldn't...

You already have a central resonator!... Just run straight through to the rear.

You know you want to.
