Wire wool and WD40.

Bushes

Also got myself some Solid cupra bushes to replace the rubbish standard hollow one's

 

[james.l]

can i ask where you got the calipers etc and how much for this is on my list as i dont want the power and not be able to stop it. you seem to be doing everything i plan but your doing it before me would like to see the how the tip helps the performance

I got mine off of fleabay, when searcing, just a little tip, as well as searching for 312mm tt brakes, try audi s3 brakes as well. They are exactly the same parts.
Cheers

Next mod must be a new DV mate

 

[james.l]

i've already got a DV007 mate, do i need something better than that?

No mate, just it looked like the standard dv with it being the black version

Wish I had got a black one..

 

[james.l]

nah, i think that black one looks a little more OEM. Which i suppose it can't be seen anyway when i finish painting the engine cover

 

[Damoegan]

I've been thnking of spraying my dv black to go with the rest of the engin bay

 

[james.l]

it can't be seen under the cover though can it?

 

[Damoegan]

Your right mate, but I would know it was there looking nice and OEM

 

[james.l]

well this is true, i am like that, i know it's not right but other people don't

it is indeed mate, you know stonegate well?

 

[Aimez]

Cool I like what you have done, you sorted your engine cover yet? I'm going to do this in a few months when it warms up.

 

[james.l]

funnily enough i sprayed it again last night, just got a few little areas that i need to tidy up. Looks a lot better now that i have got a warmer place to spray it.

Flip Key

Got myself a flip key

Getting it cut this afternoon.

PIC:

It looks brand spanking new.

 

[cupra.al]

theres not really much in stonegate to know but yea i guess i do,i work there a bit in the summer. i keep meaning to get one of those keys off the bay,bartletts said it would only be £30 to get in coded which is a bit of a bonus. is that a vw key?

 

[Aimez]

Cost nothing to code take the chip out of your spare non remote locking key then get the blade cut put your usual key in ignition then lock car with your new fob and chip easy. Cost me £18 in total and now have a spare key that is remote locking, granted the old spare key is not much good now but who cares!

 

[james.l]

Key

Yer, it costs absoloutly nothing to do yourself. I had the key cut at my local cutter cost £4, got a Seat Badge from ebay cost £2 and the cost of a key varies,

You can check which one you need by pulling apart your old key, removing battery and there should be a piece of paper with the MHz rating on it, just get a key with the same MHz.

Yer there isn't a lot in stonegate? Where abouts did you work in stonegate?
