Its been a long time since an update and quite alot has happened since last time.
The car is now K04'd. Im using a std K04 and manifold (for now) with a decat downpipe and polished TT charge pipe. The only bit that need a slight bit of fabriction was the oil return line.
I just cut the braided section off the K04 line and the bottom section off the K03 line, then tig welded a small section of pipe between the two and it fitted perfectly.
I hit a small
problem a few weeks ago. A diff bolt sheared and made a nice hole in the clutch housing. It was only when i smelt gearbox oil on the way home that i knew something was up. I left a oil snail trail for about a mile.
Luckely the clutch didnt have a drop of oil on it! It was also lucky that the sheared bolt didnt get stuck in the final drive and all was fine.
I got a new set of bolts from Peloquins and a used casing that MikeIbizaCupra had lying in his
garage and it is all back together in the car.
Due to the catch tank taking up the room where the washer bottle was i relocated it to the boot. Plastic golf one for now till i get an alloy one made.
Also picked up a Seat Sport baffled sump that will go on when the oil needs changing. About a month away. The braided line is for the catch tank to sump oil return.
