Car has now been remapped :afro:

Made a lot of difference, very pleased with it.

I can recommend: http://www.wagenworx.co.uk/ if you in the South West.

Well after 4days in the garage trying to sort a brake problem, the car has a new mot, not much else to report.

Done lots of little jobs this morning.

Painted the new front brake caliper
Replaced 3 small vac / boost hoses (thanks to Dom for the main one I needed)
Cleaned the interior

Next up Dogbone Bushes.

Old ones  :shocked:



New Poly ones fitted.



What a difference, it is harsher at idle but gearchange is so much better.

Next up extra gauges which if I am honest did not go well  :cry: had oil temp and pressure to fit but could not remove the spare plug port on the filter housing, did not want to give it any more force in case it ended in tears, so fitted the boost gauge for now but I am going to move it as you cannot really see where it is mounted, so did not bother to wire up the lighting.



But all in all it was nice to sort lots of little jobs that I have been putting off.

Had some spare time yesterday so got on with sorting the Stack boost gauge,  :undecided: on the pillar mount at the moment so it may be moved again.

Well plan b / c did not work, the plan was to fit a Newsouth column pod (Golf mk4 one) but I did not like it, so sold it on and then tweaked the pillar pod.

Have fitted smaller black bolts with black washers plus drilled a extra hole so the gauge will sit further round, however even with the extra hole the Stack gauge was not sitting right so I changed the gauge.

New drivers seat base fitted today, I read a few guides beforehand and it was easy enough to sort really, hardest part is refitting the cover as it needs to be pulled / stretched really tight.

As you can see it needed replacing.

So having sold the 18"s I needed some wheels, fitted these as a temp mesure.
