richierich37 236 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is going to be one of my favourite mk3's at this rate Rich! And I thought this was still a family car Wow, thanks man.........I think it's way off being close to the best mk3 but it should turn out ok for the family hatchback?!?!?! ;-)So with Dougie saving me a few hundred quid by keeping the OG air-con system we decide to buy some new shiney bits to bolt onto the full Milltek system!......Stainless De-cat pipe.......Stainless 6 branch manifold.......Hopefully this all bolts together freeing some horses and lets the V6 note out?!?!

Therusterman 59 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Make sure you get some sound clips with the decat and manifold, been looking for something to add more of a v6 noise to my Miltek Link to post Share on other sites

richierich37 236 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Are they real turbo twists or reps mate?They are Mille Miglia Cup 3 dude, the reason I opted for them over porsche ones is because they are 5x100 not 5x130 so bolt straight on! I'm not wanting to run adapters incase anything went wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a wee bit old for all the slammed look etc, after all this is a sensible family hatchback I'm building Link to post Share on other sites
