Sharkie's Rides - Past & Present

[Sharkie]

Some bits arrived last week and went on to the R this weekend

Waited 6 weeks for it, but it made it eventually. Whiteline 24mm Rear sway bar



Luckily this addition requires the removal of the exhaust to fit .... so

UGP (Underground Performance) resonator delete (ordered and delivered in a week!) done too


Sounds pretty decent with no drone detected .... yet.

So, the A1 has been starting to get some love.

1st mod was a Forge Diverter Valve .... makes some silly noises now


Next up is a TCU tune during the next week or so.

MST has sold out their intakes, so waiting on them to get some new stock in so I can order bits ....

[Sharkie]

So with the latest addition (project/toy/whatever) officially every member of the family (not counting kid's partners) drives something from VAG ..... we had a rare opportunity over the weekend with everybody at home at the same time to take a few photos





The Up! makes it VW no 14 for me ....

LOL, yes, am working on that.

It also needs some more power ....

Up!date ... new wheels on


The Reds all came out to play for the weekend

[Sharkie]

I'll let the photo's speak for themselves .... been a busy weekend.





Perhaps its time to make a R build thread ... although too many of those around.

[Sharkie]

And this got done ....

The IE tunes and hardware is top notch. You will love the extra 50+KW and it makes the Mk7 R seriously rapid. Did you also get the IE Powerlink dongle also so you can tune at home?

I also got the IE tune, Powerlink and intake when it was on sale last year and cant fault it. And the ability to tune at home with the Powerlink is fantastic.

Yes, Powerlink was the clincher for me along with the low torque Stg1 tune available. Still on the stock clutch, so will run with that until I upgrade. That may be a while away as the stock clutch is still holding up well.

Modifying multiple cars at the same time, means less $$$ per car available, so I have to ration what each gets LOL I really need to finish some off completely. Every time I get close I found something else to add .... at this point in time I have parts incoming for 5 of the 6
