Adam - GT TDI

[Adam]

Fitted my SFS hose, I thought it went well....Did it fcuk! Noticed it was a little down on power and smoked alot more.

Got the bumper off and looked, saw this -


  I have no idea how that pipe stayed on! You could see into the pipe, that's how bad it was.

Then......I went to take my SFS pipe off to see it has been damaged on something. Its missing a chunk of the pipe?! no hole glad the pipe is quite thick. I have looked and could only see the brake fluid reservoir cap?

Bad picture but you get the idea -



After Rhyso had a problem with his intercooler I decided to have a look at mine. All looks okay, filthy thought so gave it a good clean. Drying now.

NewSouth Boost Gauge

It was so easy to fit. Took all of an hour.

Looks OEM which is what I was going for. I did originally have the A pillar mount on order but that wasn't to my liking. So got the Steering column mount. Bad picture atm.

Catch Tank fitted!

Thanks to Steve_PD for sorting this mini group buy.




It's not as tidy as the 1.8T's setup but it works.  Dirty engine bay  .

Coilovers Fitted - Weitec GT

I was fed up with the standard ride hight so I decided to bite the bullet and buy some coilovers. After having cheap Hottunning I wasn't going to make that mistake again. Took a few pictures on my iPhone so they didn't come out too amazing. Didn't replace the ARB but used adjustable drop links with the locking nut removed so it clears the driveshaft. Doesn't rub result

Up she goes-


Rear adjuster-


Fitted-





Yet to test it out fully will do later. I think I need to lower the fronts slightly.

Recaros -

Got it lower just need to clean her up and take some snaps.

Bit of an interior update, mate helped me fit my recaros. To say they were cheap is an understatment  couldn't say no to the offer.

R32 Steering Wheel

Well since RHYSO was selling his Golf he sold me some of the bits one included his R32 wheel that he got from new only a year or so before hand. Overall I didn't see a problem with the standard one but wanted something different. After the long drive home I was amazed how much better and solid it felt. So much chunkier and comfortable to handle.

BBS RC - Anniversary Wheels

Again from Rhyso. They are perfect. Just been refurbed and some very very good rubber on them. I love them 



SFS Hard Pipe

Speaking to Lee from SFS and I got one of the first SFS hard pipe to replace the single silicone pipe. I like it 





RTech Visit





Happy days

GodSpeed Uprated SMIC

I heard from over the water on UKMKIVs that a 1.8T IC will fit on a TDI so I set to get one and try, and It paid off big time. Paid £99.99 for the intercooler. It is very well made, quite heavy as well. The welds are good and its hard to impress me on welding.



Had to use a SFS bayonet connector that I had spare on the pancake pipe, then cut some 60mm silicone and married them up nicely.

Need a 1.8T pancake pipe next. 

I'm well Chuffed
