Haven't really decided yet. Something will likely go there, the question will be how to secure it.

Thank you! Any chance you could share your specs on the vorshlag plates? I had a Q into eibach for what Vorshlag's looking for but they haven't gotten back to me yet. They want to know the strut type and what not--wasn't sure if eibach was unique with the multipro's

Make sure you run the car to op temp well over 200 degrees to get the thermostat to open. Once open, oil volume from the pan will reside in the oil cooler lines and radiator. Shut it down, let the oil drain back to the pan and check the level. Fill and repeat this process again after a 2 minute drive around the block. This is the process I had to do to get the oil level to hold stable and "burp" the system.

Thanks! With the cooler mounted vertically (with the feed line on the bottom) burping should be pretty easy peezy.

Dropped the car off for paint today. In about 3-4 weeks time, she'll be Suzuka Grey. She'll also be getting treated to a double carbon revozport vented hood, an edition 35 front bumper with a kerscher carbon fiber front lip, seibon front fenders, and a revozport roof spoiler. So used to having a car that exterior wise was in pretty rough shape, so needless to say I am super excited. The hood and fenders will be getting paint matched.
Once the car is back from paint, the new eibach coilovers, camber plates, brembo bbk, mk6r rear calipers, rs3 master cylinder will all be getting installed. Will also hopefully have my hands on a new wheel and tire setup by then as well. Once all that is done, the car will be getting flushed with Castrol SRF, then will go for a final alignment and corner balance. All before my first scheduled track day on April 12th lol.
Over the past weekend I did install oil temp and boost gauges, but unfortunately the defi gauge bezels stick too far out of the steering column pod and hit the steering wheel, so I ordered CJM Industries vent pods and will reroute after I get the car back.
Last but not least, the 2 remaining items on the list are a bucket seat and a tyrolsport hatch brace. There are some other things I'll be looking at down the road as well (lightweight battery, etc), but will come later once the bank account recoups.
Stay tuned!
