Saw your Car at Storm Today Jay speaking to Andy sounds like it's going to be a beast was trying to talk him into selling me his TT-RS

Looking forward to seeing it when complete

[R7jay]

My engine is virtually same specification as his.

Should hopefully be complete in next 4 weeks

[Real Thing]

Yeah Andy Said once you went out in the TT you were sold on the Engine conversion

Yeah he picked me up from the station, his car at the time was around 600bhp the thing was rapid.

I'd just installed a tte500 on mind, was fast but nothing like his. He prob got most knowledge about 2.5tfsi in uk.

His knowledge plus the ttrs demo car got me sold on the whole thing. Not cheap but will be worth it.

I will have a car under £40k that will hopefully eat supercars

[Real Thing]

He does seem to know his stuff and is very passionate about his work I bought his R32 project last year (600 BHP MK5 Golf is quite Mental) (although now running a mere 500bhp to make it more Daily Useable)

[R7jay]

I was looking at buying that car, but a house purchase didn't allow it.

Mate that car is mental. It's a proper bit of kit. How do you find it ?

[R7jay]

How does it compare to other fast cars you owned or own

[Real Thing]

Straight Line it's acceleration is probably up there with the early GTR's I've owned (475 bhp) but as a 10 year old Car the Technology is slightly dated so the Twisty's make it very difficult to use all it's power had a play with a new Focus RS the other Day and although I was climbing all over him on the straight He was just corning as if on rails once a few Bends appeared. (Plus my brakes are in need of new Disc's )

I'm down at Storm tomorrow dropping Andy the R32 off (Decided to sell it back to him after a year of bonkers fun )
 

[Rs3owner]

Nice work jay ! Fingers crossed for the next few week ! , you still on budget ?

[R7jay]

Not on budget, new manifold cost me allot more money, engine rebuild labour was a bit more. Ceramic costing was mega expensive

[135i king]

How's the progress with this mental build Jay? Is it done and dusted?

[R7jay]

It's nearly complete. Just had some delays in parts, will post some pics

[Nobber]

Can't wait to see this thing Jay.  Your old TTE goes on my car next week at the very capable hands of Andy!  I'm hoping he'll lend me the TT whilst he has my car!!

I wouldn't borrow that if I were you It will end up costing you thousands as everyone who goes in it wants the same conversion  

[R7jay]

I fell for that one also. Went for a spin in the ttrs straight away I want that.

Andy has been amazing, I spoke to him today literally one week and she will be ready.

Paul you will love the tte500, makes a big difference.
