Hi chap,

As most of us probably know, you've been rid of the MX5 for a while, and every now & again your Passat gets mentioned, and from what i've read a pretty good spec list comes with it too!

Any chance of some specs and pics?

Argh what have you done phil, no updated pictures at the moment since i'm down in London till Sunday.

Tbh i've never bothered posting anything about the car because at the end of the day its just a Passat with some stick on bits :p

However its the following spec:

Standard Bits
2001 Sport Estate
84k when i got hold of it now 100k
1.8T AWT Engine (150bhp)
Metallic Blue

OEM extras above and beyond standard kit
ESP / ASR / EDL (Electronic Diff)
Rain Sensors
6 Disk CD Changer
Some other odds and ends

Extras

Revo Stage 1 Remap (195bhp - 225lb-ft)
18" RS4 Wheels with 225/40/R18 F1 GSD3's
Porsche Boxter S 4 Pot Brembo front Calipers
Red Stuff front pads
VAG 312mm front discs with spacers to fit
Porsche Boxter S braided brakes lines (All Round)
Jamexx Coilovers running a 35 - 40mm drop all round
H&R Rear sway bar
Polly bushes on the front swaybar
K03's Turbo (stock K03 was 14psi, then 18psi with a remap now 21psi with the K03s)
Forge Actuator
Forge 007p Recirc Valve
3 Bar Fuel Pressure Regulator
386cc (or 406cc) cant remember which Bosche injectors (From an Audi S4 i think)
Audi S4 Aero front wiper arms & blades
LCR Front Splitter
Front Fog Light Retrofit
Passat W8 Interior lights
Cruise Control Retrofit
Hids4u 4300k HID Conversion (Projector Lights)
Total Closure module update (Window open / close from keyfob)
Pioneer Avic X1-BT touch screen satnav
Pioneer IB100 V2 Ipod Link
Pioneer Bluetooth Module
Pioneer 8" Sub in custom box
MAC Audio Amp (Bridged)


The engine has been through a few revisions, stock turbo gave up the ghost a few k after my remap so i went from the standard K03 to a K03's which is fitted to the 180bhp 1.8T Engines, it should be putting out more power than the stock Revo numbers but i've never had it on the rollers.

Current plans before end of year are

Get my Milltek Cat back fitting booked
Replace K03's with a K04 which should open up the door to 220 - 240bhp
Different remap to take into account the new injectors and K04

After that i'm very tempted to buy a spare 1.8T AWT, replace the rods and fit a bigger turbo :)

Its all fun and games, not to eveyones taste but it takes allsorts i suppose, funny thing is i know its just a Passat and is far from the sharpest tool in the box but all its missing spec wise from the factory is heated leather seats which i might address at some point :)

Think thats it, currently in a clients office so post time is limited.

Cheers Andy, aye i sold the 5 so i could out the money towards a house however couldn't resist messing about, remember i sold two cars at the same time, i'm now down to one :)

Car was 100% stock when i came across it, was a trade in against a new VW and i picked it up in a car supermarket type place :)
 
If its not running my spare LCR fueling anymore, any chance I can have it back, along with the n75? I'm having a few issues at the moment!
