my ocd is in full effect again , i bought the latest pulsar gti-r a couple of weeks ago for a 'fill in' car until my sprint golf is ready
its all started again though :roll:
firstly as they only have one pot front brakes i purchased myself a set of wilwood four pots/discs/pads for the front (cheers dave)
walbro fuel pump
apexi avcr boost controller
whiteline rear arb
whiteline rear solid drop links
and today i purchased a new super size fmic
shotpeened gearbox
ap organic clutch
cusco front and rear strutbraces

another pleasant find was my car has a mines ecu fitted that i did'nt know about

thats it for now i hope or i'l soon be skint again (unless i see a bigger turbo for the right price)

is there a performance mod therapist in east anglia ?

If there was, we'd all be knocking on his door :grin:

Trev

What are you like? :lol:

There are some nice bits on that list; all proven and good value (Just in case the Mrs reads that) The Mines ECU is a flashed piggy back one (if it's the VX rom one) Mr Booker had one on his tree felled GTR and he rated it highly so you've had a result there.

I reckon your competitive edge has been jolted by the recently announced series we're trying to arrange :lol:

Bring it on

a very slippery slope indeed! :lol: the only therapy you'll find from me is encouragement! i think colchester now has more than its fair share of mk1 golf/gtir projects!
