Hows it drive mate ?? felt better on the way home but im sure you've given it a bit of stick since ;)

It's definately better. Seems a lot less movement than before and the steering seems more responsive. Cheers for today mate.

bugger, ok mate no worries.... are those coilies alot better then your last shocks?

I've only had a drive home on them so far, but they seem a lot better. Just a stiffer ride and less lean in the corners. Getting it on track will be the real test.

No worries mate, i went back after dinner and managed to get the golf running and do a service on it aswell

You're mad! Did you find out where your missing boost has gone yet?

I've managed to delete the message you sent me with all the numbers for turbo places :(
Just looking up now what i want done then i'll call a few people tomorrow. K03 isn't fun.

After driving it on familiar roads today, the handling feels much better. I still want to replace the ball joints, track rods and ends before getting it all set up just to be on the safe side, but it's looking good so far :D

I can get you good prices on the pump, maf and injectors ;) just keep saving dude it'll be worth it in the end

Cheers boss. I just wish i had something to sell to make some of the cash! I know it'll be worth it in the end. Could always get rid of the knackered K03s!:lol:

"ahem" ebay "ahem" :rolleyes:

Yeah it'll go on there at some point, i just don't want to get shot of it before i decide what to do turbo-wise. Ideally i'd like a brand new turbo but i know money probably won't allow it and i'll get mine made hybrid.

Well, it had got to the point where i'd lost interest in the car. What with the turbo giving up, getting a puncture, and things generally not going in it's favour the car was getting neglected.

But..

After a day in the workshop with Ben on Sunday, it made me realise that i do still love it, and needed to sort myself out! :)

So now i'm looking at options for a bigger turbo. Seen a few deals that i'm interested in, just need to get some money together. Puncture is also now sorted and a few liittle bits that i neglected are also done. I still haven't got any pictures of it on the coilovers, but it does handle so much better than it did. Just needs hiring a little and i'm happy.
