I take it these are the internal brake lines, what's the benefit of running them internally?
Also why the VTS rack?

What's the switch to the side of the dash, I'm guessing its the fan mod?

Yes i ran them inside mainly because if im going to make them look tidy i want them to be on show :-) Also a VTS rack is quicker lock to lock than a GTi6 rack, Yes thats just to turn the second fan on, but to be honest ive never needed to turn the second fan on even on the track :-)

Is the VTS rack a straight swap, or is there more involved?
Take it, it's quite a noticeable difference when tootling around town..

Yes the phase 1 rack is 2.4 lock to lock and is a direct swap, if you fit a phase 2 vts rack you will need pipes also and is a 2.6 lock to lock, really good upgrade.

Ok turning slightly more track car ever time I drive it lol 

Only driven it twice this year can't work out if things are broken or just not used to it yet.seems to be easier to turn left that right though so maybe ball point or somthing like that.
