What did you do to your Mk5 today?

[Milos2504]

Fitted r8 coils, ngk sparks, autotech hpfp, new cam follower, new GIAC tune
Bought a k04 - now gathering all the parts for the conversion.
Considering DSG tune ontop of new k04 tune...

Hey mate, is autotech hpfp much different then apr one?

Attachment 12672
Finally finished my quad tail lights mod

I've been thinking about this for a while now, how did you go about doing it and what were the costs involved if it's OK to ask.

Hard to say as I've never compared the two. Theoretically I'd say there wouldn't be too much difference at all.

No probs mate. Doesn't cost much. 4 x 12v 5W wedge bulbs, 4 x wedge bulb holders w/leads from ebay, some suitable wire and spade terminals. Pulled apart the inner lenses, drilled holes and mounted the holders N.B This is the most difficult part of the installation as it requires a bit of modification to the bulb holders so the bulb doesn't touch any plastic and the that the rear doesn't touch the any metal when refitting the lenses. Wired them up in parallel and plugged them into the rear fog light plug, using modded spade terminals, so no fog light any more (not much fog here in Brisbane anyway). Used vag-com to change rear fog to parking light and increase the brightness to get it looking closer to the outer lights.

Looks good bigstick. Been thinking about doing this to my R36. Got any pics of the build mate?

When you can't find a rear brace you really like...build one yourself.
Step 1 - Cut metal.

Pulled the fuse for the radio. It keeps coming on by itself and killing the battery after shut down. Sigh.

You need to update your CANBUS to a newer revision to stop the power drain.

It's the standard radio that came with the car though. I haven't changed a thing. It just started doing it one day. Might upgrade to one of those ANS things...
