So its all in and works a treat. I have to take the brackets off and paint them black, then put all the trim back in now but thats just a minor thing to do

Yes, exceptional work!

I smell a business opportunity, bound to be plenty of interest in such a professional install... get in there, before someone else does.

I did price up the loom creation and i can do them for just under £30 (cost) if i make a batch of tens. Not sure what a window loom would sell for really.
But when you weigh up the liablity risks, its probably not worth the effort.

Great work Craig, that looks (and works, I've seen the video) great.

Electric tilt and slide sunroof next? :-)



funnily enough i did think about that a few years back but thought it too much effort. But then i converted the engine and loom so nothing is really too much effort now. Something to consider for sure

Just keep a it documented of what you did, wire lengths, connectors and plugs so you could make ad-hoc if someone asks. I'm sure with your thread on here and ClubGTI I wouldn't be surprised if others wanted to follow suit.

well today i ordered a new downpipe from Trackslag. 3.5" into 2.5" for the exhaust.

Why would you do this craig, i hear you ask.
Well, originally it had a qpeng one and in the early days of modding the car, i had to trim the pipe at the exhaust connection end as it was too long... and i cut it a bit too short. Its never really been an issue, but last night it came loose, so i decided that for the cost, it was worth getting a new one (its also an upgrade) and making sure its a bit longer this time. Not only for a better fit, but also peace of mind that its done right.


So if anyones after a 2.5" downpipe, i'll have one for sale soon. Great for conversion on a custom exhaust.

ha sadly not.

The change of downpipe has resolved some issues i never knew i had really. car feels lots better now, i think having the o2 sensor in a place with more volume and a bit further back might be helping things, but im not an expert, so its probably just in my head.
