rhyso - dirty diesel power!

[Rhyso]

sprayed and fitted my new front grill

no pics as i'd forgotten to charge my camera battery  :embarassed:

looks quite good though to will try and take some pics soon - maybe when i've washed it as the whole car is bogging and must have at least 2000 miles of dirt on it 

[Rhyso]

latest update is obviously my new R-Tech remap 

its fapping awesome!!! 

[Rhyso]

not done anything lately to the derv except for enjoying the new map 

power all over the rev range and 55mpg + on a regular basis 

just bagged myself an auto dimming rear view mirror so will be fitting that over the xmas period 

will also need a service as its counting down.......i only serviced it in July and i can't quite believe i've covered nearly 10K miles since then 

then its the dreaded MOT in January 

[Rhyso]

got another 12 months ticket - no advisory although thanks to lack of use and the cold weather i think my rear brakes / handbrake is remaining on    hopefully a nice decent run should loosen it up otherwise i'll need to get it looked at 

bagged myself a Recaro interior too coutersey of my good mate Dai-Cymru - needs a good cleaning which will hopefully be done this weekend but it depends on how quickly we get the engine out of his car 

drivers side needs a small repair too

also got my auto-dimming mirror to fit - going to get a local windscreen place to bond the new bracket to the screen as i don't fancy trying to stick it on myself!

pic of the rears






picking up the fronts tomorrow   

interestingly the bottom rear bench is EXACTLY the same as the VW Sports Seats 

[Rhyso]

so on Wednesday night after work i fitted the rear seats and then fitted the fronts during lunch at work

here's some pics









There is some wear on the drivers seat and they need another good clean but they are well comfortable 

[Rhyso]

ordered a new seat base for my drivers seat which i picked up this evening - going to have a go at fitting that this weekend along with a mini service 

though i can see myself at Dai's trying to see if we can get his damn car running 

got a quote to repair the wear on the bolster of £50 BUT the bloke can't be sure of matching the fabric    so currently trying to source some material for him to sew in 

[Rhyso]

well done the mini-service or rather Rob in work did the oil change whilst i swapped out the air filter lol - did that Thursday night 

so that left my Saturday morning free to change my seat base

took a couple of hours but well worth the effort

look at the difference!







and back in the car





stll trying to get hold of some fabric to get the wear repaired and also need a warmer day to give them a proper clean

[Rhyso]

new wheels are on 

[Rhyso]

now have a revised shopping list lol

Forge TDI Pancake Pipe - Ordered 
TT Wishbone bushes
New front speakers
Milltek exhaust
New drivers doorcard

also need to investigate the vibration i get under heavy load - get a sinking feeling its my flywheel    will not be impressed if it is as its less than 9 months old 

sold my old seats for a pittance but i'm getting one of the old seats so i can rip it apart for the fabric and get my drivers seat repaired
