Cheers all.
Drives really well (sprightly off the line and when in top at 70 on the motorway and put your foot down, shifts very well). First mod is internal - bought an X-Carlink unit which will give me USB/SD/iPOD and Bluetooth using the original head unit (oh, it's Bose amps as well)! Will be looking at lowering and spacers next. It is the BAM engine and feels really torquey, but sometime in the future will look at engine mods. This weekend will be the X-Carlink and good wash and polish plus double check everything (so up in the air, wheels off and check everything over. Cheers

Looks really original and tidy Andy, I prefer the original design to the newer one too, it was so close to the original concept car

Back to your car, they are night and day after a remap which makes it another beast altogether. There is a chap called Wak over on the TT forum who mapped mine many moons ago and has done other members to good effect and price. Look him up if you want on the TTOC forum. Good place to be. |

Regarding your Mac, I can't help so soz. Got the XCarlink fitted - the hardest part for me was getting the HU back in as the new cables are all on the shallowest side so hard to push in, but eventually managed to do it No pics of the process but pics of the end result (just got to feed the BT microphone cable but the wife wanted to use the car so had to stop): Can fed the iPod/iPhone cable into the glove box - again not difficult: Works a treat so very pleased :P Cheers

How small inside are they? I'm 6'4" and had hoped to one day have one, as a bit of fun...

I'm 6' 7" but it's not so much the headroom that's the problem, it's the contortions to get in and out
