Cheers t0m, getting there slowly but surely.
Fingers crossed
coilovers will finally be sorted back end of next month, if work plays the game........
Also up and coming on the car, tomorrow will be fitting mk4 golf aero wipers, should be looking a lot better than my passenger side one currently does in that pic above! Then got to run the cable from the engine bay through to the boot for my battery relocation. Actually, question at this point, Does anyone know when a vented battery box is needed over a standard sealed one?? Don't wanna get the wrong one to put the battery in. Guessing it may be related to type of battery?
Main reason for the relocation is to make some space in the engine bay. Going to put a bracket where the battery currently is to mount the oil catch can. This will also give me some where to fix the two resistors that will, I hope fix my high speed fan fault. Been driving me mad, especially when sat stationary with the engine running
May also swap out the jentex cone at this point for something bigger now will have the space.
Once got the catch can mounted will be ripping of the inlet mannifold and fitting the phenolic gasket. Also do the pcv removal at this point along with a clean of the engine block as much as I can reach and new oil
guide tube etc. Then on rebuild will be fitting a polished inlet mannifold DK did for me ( a fantastic piece of work if anyone is looking into having this done). I have also just gotmy hands on a lovely polished throttle body. Well happy with this as means I'm not putting a std looking tb straight onto the highly polished manni. The manni also has a tapping for a devils own water methanol nozzle. Will have to blank this off for now but am looking at fitting a Devils Own WMI progressive kit after all the above is done lol. Also have a set of silicon upper boost hoses arrive today from AmD
This also has the tapping to allow me to keep the coldside dv setup as I have it now.
My only thing is 2 bits of silicon pipe cost me £155!!!! Ouch
Then, once all thats done and dusted, yellow beatie will be handed over to Mr Niki Gower at R Tec Performance to work his magic and instal me the custom stage 2 map.
Certainly not going to happen overnight, but thats the shorter time plan. After this its lsd, clutch etc to make best use of all that work and money.
