What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Tfsi_Mike]

Been busy doing my cold air feed and also brought some carbon vinyl and wrapped a few things . For a first timer i thought it looked good and wasnt as hard as i thought . I was going to wrap the window pillers but thought it looked tacky and will be getting gloss black for that . Let me know what u think

You just need a VAG / Golf plastic Battery box to tidy up the engine bay noe

i got busy.

Like the cold air feed, did the pipework come with it? I would like to run something similar to the OEM airbox.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet, glad to hear it dude! How does it feel to you now? Also, who did you get it mapped by?

Feels amaxing mate. Takes some gwetting used to as it's the linear map by REVO. Nice as I can drive normally on the motorway but when I put my foot down, boy oh boy!!!! Wet track today did not help matters much either as my ABS decided to go this morning so I was wheel spinning all over the place hahahaha

went well, as always i always foam engine bays.
take note of all electrics, holes in piping / intakes ect, and then fire away. solong as you dont target as a certain area, for too long / wires / ecu and intake mainly there shouldnt be any issues.

i tend to foam and agitate with brushes in the tight parts before rinsing off with the presure washer, then go over the engine bay / trims in APC / De-greasers and various brushes to remove any stains and more stubborn marks, rinse again! and then i either blow dry it (as i have a compressior and airlines too) or just close the bonnet and turn the engine on for 10 minutes.

if im not happy with the results (9/10 so long as you do it often it will be clean and bright) i'll use a trim detailer such as aerospace 303. or a very light misting of GT85 on a cloth and wiped over the darker parks.

Good man, glad you like it! I should've been clearer, which of the dealers mapped it for you? I was with the LVSR guys all day Fri/Sat and had an awesome time down there!

Received my touch up pen stick(seat) the other day and decided while it wasn't raining to get some coats put on blending in nicely

its weather proof, or you'd never be able to drive in the rain... washing its all the same. just dont direct and hold pressure in the same place for too long and you wont have any issues.

To be honest i dont think i have the balls to snow foam my engine bay incase i mess somthing up, even tho it needs a good clean :-(

it will be fine, if you are worried use clingfilm to cover up suspect parts, coils,battery terms, ecu , wires... and then carry on.

cold engine, open the bonet and get the job done. unless there is an already underlying issue, you'll be alright.

Good job its weather proof with the scuttle leaking in.

An Escort Cosworth is not weather proof, water in the loom as you can guess casues no end of problems, and Ford did not make to many Loom's and by 2000 you could not buy a new loom, so you ended up having to find one, after seeing many problems through water ingress, please do excuse my dirty engine & bay. .

No it never i brought the cold air feed from eBay its about a tenner, it is 1 meter long and is really stiff material, seems abit throatier and a gives a deeper sound to the exhaust .
