what have you done to your car today ?

[Dazzalcr]

@iammooks yeah I had an issue with one being a bitch to get in all looks fine now, you dread your car going into garages as you know something won't be right when it leaves them, ive been putting mine back together the best I can since getting it back but I will av to take it back as the boot paint has like a pond effect on it in certain light.

I know our cars are old and they will never be perfect but they our baby's lol also them inserts should have come from factory

Don't worry you're not special...they're all fvcked!

It's funny cuz it's true ?

 

[Dazzalcr]

Just washed car, it needs a detail inside an out really but it's nearly done ?

 

[MoToJoJo]

Spent far too long chasing up part numbers and seeing what wonders the Leon Supercopa had. Strangely enough, the stock washer bottle was used as the catch tank for the oil and for actual windscreen washer duties they got the bottle from a mid 80s Scirocco.

Oh, and I found a price list of lots of Supercopa parts at a place in Germany… anyone speak German n wanna ask them some silly questions?

Delivered today... my titainium exhaust stud kit.

12 pointed heat treated nuts. They are just stunning. Massive thank you to ERC for them.

the wahers again are titainium heatreaded but the finish and machineing is superb.

the studs again are an amazing finish to the treads and the hex in the end .

please enjoy responsible

Next up is an 034 motorsport rear main seal and housing . This was a "want" rather than a need

The machining is second to none. As always from 034 motorsport. The anodising is also top notch.. that's just dodgy camera and no skilld in photography .

I have some very similar turbo studs that I bought from Mamba, they were flipping expensive but they're sooo much better quality than the stock ones and a lot easier to use as they allow a small 11mm ratchet spanner to fit onto the nut rather than struggling like hell with a cumbersome 17mm in a tiny space.

Nobody will ever see them (unless you *really* run out of talent) but you'll know they're there, and that's what makes you smile.

Removed the roof rails so I can re-lacquer them over the weekend. Got the gunk out, but need to slap some anti-rust primer on becahse there are a few patches of surface rust

I should do that, as I've got a light scuff on my roof I want to sort while I have the 2K lacquer out.

Was it a straightforward job?

Yeah, dead easy to get them off. Sprayed WD40 along them and then prised them off from the rear with a plastic knife. Once the rear is up you can pull them up and off by hand.

on top of the anti rust chemical I've put on i used a zinc spray its very good anti rust, painted it on though after spraying lid, Aldi do really good zinc sprays for the price even as good as Action can ZG-90, then just used the matched paint I've got that does not need a Lacquer, did mine last year as the rust come above the rails , exact same place on both sides, completely forgot as its a common problem the audi S3 mk1 had same issue

watch the rails don't bend as the rubber sticks too body but there easy straightened you just don't want a kink, cleaned them also as certain points hold dirt once paint dry i sprayed silicon spray on the rubbers and fit back

This is a job for mine at one point, just picked up a very firm set to replace mine, as a few years ago the garage did not take them out to paint them properly and now the rails are flaking wouldn't av been a big deal except they sealed the ends in I defo expect them to break to get them out

 

[bruceR]

am surprised these rails aren’t secured with screws from inside, considering they hold roof racks and weight!!!

Did you see that PDF doc that someone stuck on one of the Facebook groups??
It was called “2005 SEAT Sport UK Parts Manual”. 162 pages. I have a copy if you haven’t seen it. Might be useful.

 

[MoToJoJo]

Yeah, that's the one I've been going through, it's interesting stuff... if you're into that kinda thing... which I am ?
