Re-wired fuel pump for a friend who flooded her 98 VW polo in that massive downpour a few weeks back (big puddle wet wiring loom). Pulled out her brand new sony head unit to check why it wasn\'t working and discovered melted power/antenna and ground cables. Off the shelf VW-Sony \'plug-in-adaptors\' nearly caused a fire....

Edit: Paid the rent with soldering iron burn on forearm when tidying up

My new OEM Version 8 STI Down Pipe, next to my original VF27 Secondary TT DP:

Couldn\'t ask for a closer match. My Aftermarket Mid Pipe bolts straight up. ;D Cat can come out after Break In.

Any particular reason why you went for a v8 sti dp compared to a 2.5" divorced one?

Tightened up BOV in the hope itll stop it from nearly stalling every time I stop. Also finsihed basic DIY water sprayer setup. So all ready for trackday, time to put car in inflatable safety bubble for 5 days so nothing happens to it.

Tried fitting a Whiteline Anti Lift Kit, which ended up horribly.

Driver\'s side tubing would not fit over the control arm rod and ended up being seized.

Bushing came right off the tubing after prying, and after a bit of cursing, managed to get the tubing off, hopefully not damaging the control arm rod in the process.

The kit didn\'t end up getting installed as have confirmed that the tube on the driver\'s side was a wee bit smaller than on the passenger side which lead to the fitment issues.

Managed to push it back it, but the tube didn\'t actually fit on the control arm rod =(

Need to sort out returns and rinse and repeat.

Not looking forward to taking off and putting on the U brace again. =(

Breaking the 19mm and 22mm bolts were interesting too.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
