as you can see i'm crap with the camera wouldn't mind a pro to take a few shots in some decent places rather than just outside my house all the time lol. also thinking of buying a decibell meter to see how loud the exhaust is

bit of an update not been on here for a while. blown the headgasket on the engine which is in the gti now. so thought i would strip the old engine down and see if it was actually the piston rings that had gone which 2 mechanics told me they had. finally got round to strippin it down and found it was only the head gasket and the bottom end is in mint condition. so took the head apart, goin to get uprated cams for the old engine, head skimmed, timing belt kit, head gasket, remap and hopefully she'll run mint. also gunna take parts back to bare metal and repaint them before droppin the old engine back in. anyway i'll let the pictures do the talking....

oh and had a reconditioned axle lowered 60mm. just needing uprated shocks and 60mm springs. Also bought myself a pugsport and put the maxi exhaust in storage ( flames FTW

) and last week bought mintex disks and pads all round
