what have you done to your car today ?

[Sl1ced]

Same gauge as me, think I paid about 30 quid

Also sliced your engine bay is looking TUFF. My favourite thing is seeing how people organise their bay. I havnt seen the brake booster routed like that and I’m into it.

I don’t know if tuff is good or bad but she’s stinking. Needs a new rocker gasket ( I got one months ago but never did it) it’s getting there I need a few more hose clamps etc but it’s not used most of the week so it can sit.

That looks wicked mate fair play they look abit like the older style Porsche alloys proper finishes off how clean your car is in grey.

Also when you clean the car is it only me that finds more stuff wrong?

Wonder how long this has been gone for!

Thanks! Gotta love bright silver wheels on clean metallic colours. Yeah I was in half a mind to go for something 'sporty', because that does suit the car. But also love stanced out dishy look. Tried to find a midground and i think the Porsche inspired twists looks good,

Yea they look the nuts. Big brake upgrade next?

Yea true. What about 312mm front discs and calipers of a Octavia vrs mk1? I don’t know what size is on your car it might even have tho in it from factory mate don’t really know.

It’s usually red. Made it blue so you could see it.

It’s plumbed in Center of the fuel rail and disappears off top left.

Nice - thanks for this.

Am I right in thinking the ones on eBay are all pretty similar - it's just a matter of which one you like the look of? Have you got yours mounted to the a-pillar? Any issues fitting it? I'm always happy to roll my sleeves up, but just don't want to do anything irreversible and shag my engine.

Mounted on the pillar using a universal mount I cut to fit then heated up till it was soft and moulded it to the pillar .


I paid a tenner for the gauge second hand but never fitted. Sure it’s just a cheap one

Just beware the cheap gauges, I bought one years ago that didn't sit on zero when off.
Used to bug the crap out of me!

312 is what it has on there from factory, theyre not bad tbh. Defo better discs and pads soon

Ah cool maybe just get some ebc grooved and drilled discs and yellow Stuff pads. They’ll look cool there behind the alloys and actually help improve the already good braking.

Yeah definitely. I was looking at mTec discs as some people had said they're pretty decent.

 

[300bhpdaily]

Cool, what’s your end goal for the car? Like with me I’ve known from day1 the end goal was stage2+ with a diff and fully polybushed with all handling mods so I can drive to track and then on track and then to work the next day. I haven’t had mine that long but have managed to do some little bits when i had the money.

 

[MoToJoJo]

Plan A was a bust so I thought I'd do a little experimenting to see if my dumb/great idea will work

Looks... promising

 

[300bhpdaily]

Is that a 225 ko4 engine?

 

[300bhpdaily]

Hang on looking at it closer what is that from? Is it diesel?

 

[Thai-wronghorse]

Looks like a PD150 with the EGR cooler removed.
