What did you and your MK2 do today?

[DMcG]

I dont have the circle pins in mine anyway, but size wise are they a good fit? I have researched quite a few mat companys and still looking to buy some. Will do soon though

Yeah they are the correct shape for each footwell. Will try an get a couple pics in the car later so you can see.

Today I changed boot logo in my RNS510 ...

Cheers mate not sure if I will have access to a ramp or not yet, may have to do it on the drive but not a big issue it will just take longer

It will be more awkward on your drive.
You'll need to make sure you get the car high enough so the gearbox will come out under the front bumper.

Ditched the dogbone mount insert! WOW what a different car it is, I forgot how smooth the DSG gearbox is, I love sitting in traffic now as appose to shaking my spine to bits

If you have a downpipe fitted you'll need to watch it doesn't move too much with the insert removed.

 

[Benjic2]

Why's that Kev? Can it hit the exhaust tunnel or something?

 

[Marshall]

Pretty sure when you have a sports downpipe the flexi is much smaller so it can't flex anywhere near as much as the standard downpipe which causes the downpipe to crack at the flange.
When you fit Milltek etc I'm sure they say must be fitted with insert.
That's the only reason I'm still putting up with mine.

Correct Kev Milltek are even building the inserts into most of the exhaust packages now.

 

[Benjic2]

Ahhh I see, yeah the flexi pipe is a lot stiffer on the downpipe, it's a good job mine is a cheap jobby so I will replace it if needed haha as I much prefer a smooth and silent car. I must have got used to all the vibrations with the insert in, because with it out it is just heaven now. No vibrations, no rattles and traffic jams are bearable again

@ Masterkm, pics as promised;

 

[Masterkm]

Thanks, They look pretty decent, may have to invest in a set. Better than the carpet ones

 

[TarekElsakka]

Agreed. I really like them, too. There are two different types, though, oval-shaped and another one, correct?

Oval and circle ones that I have seen correct Tarek

 

[TarekElsakka]

I need to take a picture of mine because I can't decide if it's oval or circle lol

Changed my Fascia panel to a double din one instead of the MFD style one with the extra bits. Now time for the white carbon finish in December..

If anyone would like/needs a MFD style panel, give me a shout lol

Interesting! I just got rid of that panel haha

Did you lol Im doing the opposite, where did you sell it? I dont like the gaps in the MFD style one.

I still have it in my car! It's in the passenger seat pocket because I haven't had chance to remove it.

Does anyone know what size the screws are that fix the rcd310/ rns series stereos to the car, as I have lost mine but want to get another set.

Went to my local TPS and they can't find it on the system, the guy even told me that my car never came with a stereo and separate face plate, even though it did. ETKA doesn't seem to have every option on it!

Put another 70 quid of fuel in, will try and get more than 264 miles to a tank this time!
