I have three relays in mine????

In reply to your sig mate, I've used the rep icon

Ha Ha, Thanks mate.

No worries mate, The LCR only has one in that fuse box.

Hi all, few little updates.

Fitted my NGK BKR7EIX spark plugs and 2.0t coilpacks:

I'm yet to really test them out so I'll let you know what I think in due course

I've coloured the clear hose in on the side of the catch can so it now matches:

Just thought I'd say a massive cheers to Brett (MOROalTT), I queried with him about few engine cover bolts he has fitted to his TT (these). I dont need the full set because I dont have the TT battery and washer/coolant bottle covers. He help me out and although his company Whanab dont make them he managed to get me the couple I was after.

After:

Full bay shots (yes i know its dirty):

Finally, as of this morning I'm sporting these stylish rims:

Quick question mate. Why fit 2ltr coilpacks over the standard items???

 

[EL]

That engine bay is pure perfection. Errrrr get those ugly wheels off now

They allow you to run a hotter spark, they should enable me to advance the timing on and they're more realible, http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=318293

I'll get some logs done in the future to see if they've helped reduce CF's

Forgot to mention I've gap the plugs to 0.035, I know most are running 0.04 with these but I though I'd give this a go (its what RobDon was running)

That engine bay is pure perfection. Errrrr get those ugly wheels off now

Cheers mate

The wheels aren't staying

 

[madvortex]

nice!!

 

[RDS]

thanks mate.

Fugly wheels lol!

Engine bay is awesome mate really love this!! Engine cover screws are wicked.

Good work mate.

 

[RDS]

Thanks mate, I need to stop finding daft little things to spend money on for the bay

Those wheels are awful but mine will look sweet when I get them back Watch this space

 

[Ronin225]

Bay looks good, did you need to run spacers to fit those rims??

 

[RDS]

Cheers mate, I didnt need the spacers for those rims.

Looks good I thought you weren't supposed to re-gap Iridium plugs? I have the same ones, is it 0.4mm gap as standard, do you know?

 

[scotty18]

that bay is lovely mate, so much attention to detail.

 

[RDS]

I mean most are running 0.040 when using the 2.0t coilpacks. The plugs aren't gapped to 0.040 as standard, I hope its ok to regap iridium spark plugs

It can be done but there's a risk of damaging the iridium element - if your car is running fine then you got away with it

The idea behind iridium plugs is that they can cope with a much larger gap than standard so in most cases there's no need to regap them. Some logs showing correction factors will give useful info.

I'm a bit disappointed as I've not got the wheels back yet, they've had a problem with the supplier so wont have the lacquer to finish them off untill next week so I'm still running the awful loaner wheels

Gave the car a clean up and refitted the splitter. I'm must have only used the car 4 or 5 times since it was last washed but it was filthy.

After:

apologies for the wheels, hopefully have mine back soon.

 

[t0m]

Haha, looks different matey

Wheels will be back soon enough I'm sure. Looking forward to seeing them.

My car is filthier than that and I didn't clean it today as I was nursing a hangover - fail. Aiming to do it next weekend and a few more jobs.

 

[RDS]

Not long to rr day now mate, I'm trying to get the car looking and performing to its best
