Ok so it has been a while, a lot of head scratching in regards to mapping the route I wanted to take.
SO had a wideband ECU, loom, coils all the rest of it, drive by wire throttle body etc. Undid the old loom from the engine, coils started looking at the accelerator pedal and they are completely different. Seems the me7.5 bodied cars came with the pedal mounted differently. Did I know this? Absolutely not, so guess what it still hasn't been changed.
Will need a bracket made up and then will have to try again.
In other news though I managed to pick the TT front end up very cheap and did some bits to it.
Subframe, anti roll bar, wishbones, drop links and the hubs!
Wishbones have one side poly bushed already
Dude I got it from was kind enough to throw in the small side powerflex bushes
He even threw in his fully polybushed dogbone mount, mine is only half poly wish the diesel variant bush. While I considered doing the small bush on mine, having this thrown makes life so much easier.
Stripped the frame down took off the anti roll bar, wishbones, hubs and dogbone for a lick of paint.
Black hubs, yellow wishbones.
5 extra bhp per wishbone, yellow being a go fast colour & all.
Not a show car so no I didn't do it a perfect job, but it will do.
Painted the roll bar black to match the hubs, part of me wanted to do it red. Didn't go to get red paint because I thought these would be put onto the day a couple of days later (which didn't happen and is yet to happen!)
Got new hubs too, wanted everything new so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Do it once do it properly...
New bearings to match
And these are Audi TT mk2 ball joints, with a little modification can be made to fit the mk1 wishbones. Giving some extra camber and caster. Fully looking forward to the difference these make! Can't wait to throw it round some corners.
Now the thing is these will all go on next month or the following month, purely because I want my car mapped. The weather is good and I just wanna be able to go full throttle, it's annoying having to change at 4k. Plus the injectors run lean at 5k so in safety of the engine mapping seems to be the sensible option, this stuff can get fitted later on along with something else
Thanks for reading, hopefully another update will be coming soon. Just been mega busy.
Many thanks
