[Deleted member 60700]

i know its along long time ago but when u fitted your weitecs did you take the two rubber stops out of the front shocks or did u leave them in?

 

[Ronin225]

To be honest mate i cant remember, it was quite a while ago

 

[Phillc]

You Left them in, as did I.

Good g/s figures there mate!

Bet your pleased.

 

[Ronin225]

You Left them in, as did I.

Phill, i've forgot what i did at work earlier so theres no chance of me remembering that

Good g/s figures there mate!

Bet your pleased.

Cheers tom, was surprised how good the figures were, it did pull well though
Just cant wait to get this rebuild going now

best i put them back in then i took both out and my rear helpers but its jsut too low to drive hard now

 

[Ronin225]

Today i replaced my blown numberplate bulbs with some LED ones Barn got me, didnt get a pic as it was too light to see them
Topped up my coolant as i know my waterpump has been leaking since day one it was fitted but dont see the point in doing anything to it this close to a rebuild
While i was doing this i giggled at the size of the filter as side on its almost comedy

When you going to start your build?

 

[Ronin225]

Ordered yet more stuff from Issam so awaiting an even bigger delivery now.
Recently added the southbend clutch and smf kit, upgraded the rods to rifle drilled and also added a fluidampr pulley too so need this to arrive first

 

[james.l]

What stage u go for?

 

[Ronin225]

Stage 3, same setup as you've gone for

 

[james.l]

Good choice, I've yet to install mine but should get the gearbox finished and engine back in this coming week

 

[Ronin225]

I have been watching yours with interest as yours will highlight any problems and its going to be so good when finished.
Have you decided on whos mapping yours yet?

 

[james.l]

I think I'm either going to go to bill @ badger5 or MRc tuning,

MRC have done a great job on so many high horsepower Audi's and I've been told by various people they know they're stuff

 

[Ronin225]

Bill is only just down the road from me so been down a few times to get bits and seen some of his work, dont know much about MRC though.
I keep looking at different turbos now too and i havnt even fitted the one ive already got

 

[james.l]

Are you thinking 28 frame or larger?

 

[Ronin225]

Larger but still uses a t25 flange, its one of the new EFR range from BW but is due to be released later this year

 

[cupra-barn]

Sounds like a busy day over at yours lol

Soon as my coilpacks are here I'm gonna go but some new plugs, finish the battery tray and get the bigger filter on then we need an evening of logging this week!

 

[Ronin225]

Yes mate, just give me a shout me a shout when you want to do some logging

 

[cupra-barn]

Say that again lol
