Cost breakdown
The bill from tdi north for the ecu, mapping, suspension set up, custom exhaust, tegiwa intake, jdm arb, bushes, camber adjusters and bolts was £2477 in 2011
Automek built the transmission for me in 2012 for £400 including: diff + bearings £650 , final drive £410, clutch £250, flywheel 220
Total for 2012 £1920
This year the track wheels and tyres cost me £600 all in
Automek fitted New rear caliper and discs and baffled sump for £350 all in
Automek supplied and fitted all this lot for £490; brakes £1500, £650 on the kw's ,£200 on the buddly clubs and the rack raiser
total for 2013 : £3750
So all in it costs about 8K to build a car to this spec, if you have a good ramp you can save a fair bit on labour! Even so it is very easy to fall off the deep end
2014:
DC5 hydraulic conversion £700
2015:
New Subframe, F LCA's, polybushes, drop links, rigid collar kit £600

I'm well chuffed with the results, the cars handling has been massively improved. It now tracks perfectly straight even when going through standing water on motorways etc. the high speed stability is much improved also with greatly reduced body roll.
The engine is a completely different animal now, it makes as much torque low down as it used to at peak and when it comes on cam the 173ft lb of torque and accompanying sountrack is pretty addictive . The exhaust is almost as quiet as stock untill 5100 rpm - when it gets throaty . A special thanks to the guys at TDi - north, the car is old and they had to cut alot of the old parts off. This meant working on the car till midnight to get the job done. Thoroughly professional and nice guys as well - a job well done!
The car is nearly how i want it, a front strut brace and reconditioned brakes will be the next jobs to get done
