Some of the .:32 after a clean up

[Paul.]

Nothing major on the car yet. So far its simple things like new number plate screws and rear plate holder (awaiting new pressed legal plates) and flapper mod with ghetto golf tee fix. Yesterday i did however order myself FK coilovers so ill have those fitted hopefully at some point next week. The miltek is still in the house , not fussed on it at the moment cause it sounds so good as standard and even better with the flapper mod now. A lot of people have said stick with the stock system but change the resonator to a smaller one with bigger tips due to the millie being quite boomy..... We'll see. Think the coilys with some stance will change the car completely. Im also looking to buy VMR V710s in the near future but wont fit them till the winter disappears.

Todays task was to sort out the mess of the tailpipes. So a quick trip to halfords after washing it and i bought some autosol with Meguiars metal polish and some wire wool. Also used 3 clean microfibres and some quick detailer. By NO means perfect but im pretty pleased on them so far (work in progress).

Some before pics of the tailpipes

And some after

Then a few before the sun went

Looks lovely mate. Was next to one today when he gave it a bit, there was a bit of sex-wee...

 

[Martin_172]

nice! i was following a guy last winter when it was snowing, streets were empty and he was getting the thing sideways everywhere! lol

 

[Spark]

Looking magic mate. 'kin right about the noise btw, sounded immense that night i was following you and you booted it under the motorway

 

[Wick]

Noise!! Yes please...

 

[maynard]

Very smart, I'd quite like to own one of these tbh.

 

[Gally]

Looks fantastic mate so in proportion compared with the sometimes gainly Gti.

You'll know yourself if the Milltek is worth the change. It will sound different. I always said most Milltek systems are non boomy low down in the revs and come alive once the foot is down.

 

[RDH]

Awesome, love these things.

 

[chrispy.clio]

I do really really want one of these. What mpg do you get?

 

[Homer-Simpson]

I have a big soft spot for them! My brother has one and I bought him a non-res Miltek. I love the noise

Some of the turbo ones sound epic

Your car looks great and I will be interested to see what you think to the Miltek I always wanted to fit one to mine but too late now as I'm selling it tomorrow after owning it from new four years ago ! It has been the best car we have ever owned not because of anything in particular but as an all rounder it is great! Always been reliable, quick, grippy, comfortable the only thing it hasn't been is economical but you don't buy them to be economical! You will notice running costs apart from petrol are really reasonable we pay £86 at our local VW for oil and filter changes and £90 for Dunlop tyres which are great! I have kept on top of the exhausts since new but a few years ago I masked them up and sprayed the insides with black VHT paint which looked great but only lasted about a year.

PS your not trying hard enough I've had the average MPG down to 5.9 and drained the tank in 35 minutes at Donnington thats with DSG aswell :s

 

[VeinAST]

Lovely cars. Definitely look the part in the blue.

 

[_Tom]

Love them. Looks very nice. Just needed more power and mpg..

 

[Y7 ADW]

That looks lovely. They do sound pretty sweet aswell.

 

[koi]

Would love to hear this sometime

shame your selling looks a great example! Ive had the car since July and apart from the poor fuel economy i cant fault it at all. Its like i had just passed my test in july , always wanting to go out and drive it. Good luck with the next car.

Would love to hear this sometime

[OneTime_]

Would have to have a decent salary behind you to A) buy one and B) keep it runnning. Very nice though

 

[DB.]

Any interior pics? Very nice!

[Paul.]

not yet . Love the interior though!!! I will get some.

 

[JT182]

I love them. How does it compare to your old 225 F1? I imagine the noise is a pretty big improvement!

mate of mine had an r32 turbo. was IMMENSE!"

 

[burtz]

Sex!

I think its just as quick as the meg but it has a lot more torque. I'd say , believe it or not it handles better. Build quality , interior , all round it's just in a completely different league. The exhaust and general noise ..... Incredible. It sounds nothing like any clips you will hear on YouTube , the noise is unreal and changes depending on what way you go through the gears and revs . It "fills" the space if you get what I mean. Like in a tunnel the noise just seems to travel back through when your out the other end .

 

[_Tom]

Are the DSG's quicker or slower generally? I had a "to do" with a R32 but was dsg and i was disapointed.

 

[Paul.]

DSG is faster than manual to 60 .

 

[Scutch]

Lovely that.
