Nice progress mate

What Rod's you got going in then?

The standards are sooo pants

Not sure tbf. Probablly some rifle drilled ones from bill. Need to do abit of research in them as the crank gunna be different.

Tryin to decide on pistons atm mahle motorsport or wossner pistons

Why have you done that with headbolts? I get the theory but Need to be replaced anyway

So i know which bolt came from where and with what im planning ill use them to check clearenece on everything like the pistons clear the oil squirters etc

Planning on using stud and nut conversion and i only wanna torque them up once lol

Large Port

Or

Ported Small Port

Is the question

 

[yellonvi-R]

Gotta find a large port head that will probably stall progress. Port yours. Depending on what power your going for then not sure it would make difference?

Supertech valves?

 

[R4cup]

Dont think large port is worth it unless your looking to break the 350 mark..........are u?

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Unsure on alot things atm haha

Might get a large port aswell and decide later.

Checked my block was 06A

 

[yellonvi-R]

What's 06a mean then?

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Its the later block

Need to know if its 058 or 06a block to get certain bits from Integrated Engineering*

And the TSI crank dont fit 058 iirc

Got my wheels back

There not perfect as the laquacer has run a fair bit but it was cheap so.

But one came back like this

Aslo engine bay is under going some work and currently looks like **** lol

 

[yellonvi-R]

They done that to the wheel? Place in brum does them £25 each and a mint job.

 

[R4cup]

Must get my alloys done soon, that place on warick road andrew?

Did they do that dent? i was constantley loosing psi when i had a similar dent on my old alloys

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

They were done cheap

And its silver with metal flake in to give it the sparkle look not sure if they did it. Werent there before tho

Digbeth, city powder coaters.

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Fitted my BKR7E plugs last night and decided to put my spare rocker cover on

Cant wait for it to be light when i get home from work

Cars looking rought atm and missing a few vital parts atm

 

[Chambers_CUPRA]

Not much happening at the mo, waiting on parts from powder coat and delivery of parts.

But after much chat in the mk3 section ive decided to re-vamp my suspension again

Going to see how much difference the mk3 golf wider arms make.

Any way whilst quiet at work my wallet took a dent or too by ordering

Compbrake adjustable top mounts
Ball joint extenders
Powerflex black series bushes for the front wishbone and the 4 for the cross member subframe
New ball joints abs sensors wheel bearings and flanges and the golf wishbones.

Ive also had my hubs machined to flip the track rod ends and the bearings pressed out etc

Few pics

Progress is painfully slow atm but suspension revamp amd rejig of the intercooler pipe work should be able to sort a few more things then

 

[R4cup]

Interested also to see how much difference the golf arms make

Nothing wrong with slow solid progress, sounds like me lol
