Been a busy boy.
Replaced timing belt, accessory belt, thermostat, coolant temp sensor, and cam follower.
The carnage:
Cam follower and cam lobe comparison/inspection:
Installed my IE upgraded HPFP.
No pics of the installed pump because, externally, it looks no different than the stock one.

Installed an ebay reverse camera. Not exactly difficult, but very time consuming and tedious.

I went with the 12$ ebay kit, and that camera replaces one of the license plate lights.

I'll be doing the very same thing this weekend (among a ton of other things). I went with SuperPro.

Got some parts put on that have been taking up space in my garage for some time now. Whiteline adjustable front sway bar, BSH dogbone insert, BSH pendulum mount, BSH engine/trans mounts and Billy Boat turbo-back exhaust. She's a whole different car now!

Well! This was a great upgrade. Torque steer is gone. No bump steer in corners and the steering wheel wants to come to neutral very fast. Full throttle shifts through DSG imparts nothing into the steering. It feels amazing.

Agreed lol. I just swapped my summers on (Direzza ZII's) and adjusted my coilovers up front. Still need to bring it down a 1/4", but that's for another day. My God, it's hard to say what impacted the handling the most because I did everything, but it's INSANE. It's funny you mention that the steering wheel comes back to neutral faster. I thought that was my FSB since it's seriously beefy compared to the OEM one, but maybe it's not just that haha. I didn't notice it as much on my winter tires (I store it on the winters; it's not a daily anymore).
Last week eurocars and I did:
LCA bushings
Passat LCA and spindles
Tyrolsport subframe bushings
New OEM balljoints and wheel bearings
PSS coils
H&R 26mm fsb (already have H&R rear)
Strut bearings and 034 strut mounts
MFactory LSD
Motul trans fluid
SS clutch line and all 4 brake lines
New ATE fluid
Dieselgeek short shifter
42DD bracket shifter bushings
Oil change (Motul)
