Here's what I've done to the car since purchase...

Hdi FMIC, Transgo shift kit, Brembos from 60th Ann 350Z, custom 3" exhaust with Scotty's dump pipe, uprated sway bars from Selbys/Fulcrum, PWR transmission cooler, LED daytime/fog lamps, air horns above FMIC.

Still to do - bonnet strut kit (no garage and it's been raining constantly in the Mountains), EBC, possible info meter and double DIN DVD/CD + reversing camera + navigation. Considering a Scheel drivers seat I've had since 1988, big wrap around shoulders and still in good nick. It's migrated from car to car.

Some new wheels to replace the T7s.

Attached is a photo taken before the foggies and transmission cooler.

More photos to follow.

Anychance you can post a pic of the led day running lamps?

Been thinking about fitting some but can't find any that look good so far and where to fit them.

I'll get a shot of the lamps this weekend. It's raining again and I hate going outside in it. :ninja: Hopefully, if there's a break I'll sneak out and take a photo...

BTW, I bought the lamps on E-bay from a seller in Sydney. I studied so many of them, my head was spinning. I didn't like some of the chinese ones on offer. Got burnt a few times on

some purchases not being what they seemed.

Here's hoping there is no more rain for a while.

Lol don't worry Paul, he's talking about the DRLs on his stupid Vee Dub.

Nice job Russel, although don't think that'd work on mine as I've got the Aero kit. Not keen on hacking up the good mesh to fit them. Won't work as well as it does with your horizontal lines either.

Yep. Wanted DRLs so bad he bought a Beetle with them preinstalled.

You've got the aero kit right? Where were you thinking of putting the lights?

Yeah I have the aero. Not sure where I would fit them. Ideally I'd like them under the headlight but I can't see that happening.

You'd have to use the LED strip lighting, and then you'd look like you're trying to rip off Audi.

LOL @ Iain - his car's not even a "proper" VW. :P

Oh, and in regards to factory-fitted LED DRLs, I have to say that I think Audi are amongst the very few manufacturers getting it looking right.

AUDI=VW

volvo and mercedes are looking good with their DRLs. most manufacturers are retro fitting them to existing models, probably why they look a little out of place.

lol they are in denial, VW has owned AUDI and Skoda and SEAT for ages. they have all used VW engines for years too. Its the reason why i got a Skoda. I got a Golf GTi that is more practical, cheaper and had more options as standard. same trim on a golf would have gone over 50k.

I know they're all owned by the same company and use the same engine blah blah blah...

But I'm pretty damn sure the build quality on an Audi is better then a VW, or heaven forbids, your Skoda :nyaanyaa:

Reading the reliability survey don in the USA I am not so sure you are right about this.

VW rated 56th out of 60... :whistling:

      Misfire/stalling issues

      The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
