what have you done to your car today ?

[Sl1ced]

Got the decat off and put my cat and down pipe back on. One stud on the turbo snapped. I cleaned all the threads yesterday too luckily I had enough to get the oem one on with a nut on it so we’re all good. Have noticed though the pipe sometimes rattles on the rear beam. Fml, one thing after another on these cars

Is your pcv system deleted under there or is it stock?

All stock, replaced the system start of the year cos it was all old and split. I have considered a catch can but decided against it for now as its a daily stored outside.

Yeah I get a fair bit of moisture in mine. To be honest. I thought my head gasket had gone. Short journeys lead to a build up of gunk on the cap and dipstick. But when I actually use it and it gets hot no gunk. My pcv system had rotted

I also have the Fabia rear arm on mine as well, funnily enough I discovered a spare I wasn't aware of earlier on as it happens.

that's the one i have the SKODA FABIA conversion its better than the standard, pitty there is no aero type like ones i put on the front

The confusing part is that it looks like the Fabia used both the arm I've got on mine and the one that covers the whole blade.

I saw one of mine on the back of a Touran today so it looks like they're everywhere. At least parts aren't going to be hard to find.

Have now got 130 miles in on the new turbo - feels like a totally different car !! - On the other hand its still a little damp on the inside and the airbag light is on but other than that its nice to be able to drive it again.

Just got a quote for a clutch replacement. £900 for the clutch and £1,300 if it needs a flywheel too.

Looks like I'll be doing it myself then. I could get an LUK set including a flywheel for the price they'd charge extra for the flywheel.

Lol at these brakes again

That's insane !! - I assume that 1300 is clutch and flywheel combined ?

Get shot - you dont need rear brakes on an FWD - just carry a heavy lump in the boot - an NO I am not available !!.

Well following on my mood was dampened. I picked up some 16 bbs splits off a mk4 golf. LC capliers rub the inner side of the wheel

get some wheel spacers

 

[Sl1ced]

That’s where the rub is. Pretty far in to be honest. I mean a could dress the calipers it’s literally 2 mm but I don’t know I’m not convinced

Checking all the wheels they all have a scratch here. They have been diy painted before I got them so I assume that’s the issue. Too many layers have thickened them

Won't a spacer do the trick?

Check the pictures mate. I reckon I’d need at least 20mm

It is indeed for the clutch and flywheel combined. Not only can I buy the clutch kit with flywheel for just what they're charging for the flywheel, I can buy an engine support beam and a transmission jack and an ugga dugga gun and still have enough to take the girlfriend on holiday.
