In 2019, I think I’ll just throw a few parts at this instead of buying a new car. Got rid of my first ST after 8 months, Jan 28 will be a year for this. Don’t really want to get into a buying a new car every year thing.

Cobb Stage 3, no supporting mods. Become a stereotype.

If your happy with the car, there isn’t much need to change it, it’s added cost and inconvenience to do so.

Saying that, Piglet is getting a good going over on Friday as it's going to the dealership for appraisal as ordering a new car.

lol, club sport suspension, sways, better brakes (maybe RS Brembo conversion but I don’t think I need that much brake) or hawk pads and upgraded rotors, Potentially sparco assetto gara when it’s time for rubber. Not much else

Boomba air brake release valve?

There’s a few weak points in the car that need addressed. But I’m not going crazy. Better brakes when the brakes wear out, better rubber and maybe  lighter wheels (oem size), motor mount (these are known to be shit in the car) and upgraded suspension to handle better but also take daily driving a bit better. Overall not a lot of work, just bringing up some weak points with good quality pieces to improve reliability/performance.

Still one of the greatest reds.

I’ve got some mountune stuff planned for when I’m ready, among some other brands! Thinking their clubsport suspension

Right? I love keeping it clean. This is after my winter prep detail this past fall.

What are you replacing Piglet with?

The same I think. Just changing the 1.4 TSi ACT for the 1.5 TSi.

I’ve looked at other cars but may just get the newer version of the one I have really.

The newer car has new stereo headunit.

That’s purdy.

Kandy or metalflake?

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > UnderSTeerEnthusiast - Triumph Fanboy 01/02/2019 at 00:38

It’s a metallic pearl tricoat. Apparently a bitch to paint match so hopefully I never have an accident (knock on wood)

The Boo mba blow off spacer? When you let off the throttle, it sounds exactly like an air brake release on a big rig.

Does that add any value for a stock motor? I’ve never been big into upgrading bpv/bov’s. Don’t really care about how loud the blowoff is, I know some people like it

None at all, it’s just obnoxiously loud. You heard my car, and even I refused to install one.

Lol, so is this spacer different than a big/bpv?

Yes. It’s just a rice maker.

Huh, I had never heard of it. Sounds like it should be the next mod then, I only buy shit that I know nothing about what it does
