Cheers Chris
Right, where to start.
After losing my pride and joy back in april, i had the hard choice as to whether get another Golf 1.8T or try something else. End of the day i enjoyed my Golf and had been the best car i had owned i decided to get another. So after scouting about i came to find this lovely Candy White 1.8T for sale on the forum.
W reg
84000 miles
FSH
3 Lady Owners
and only mod was the alloys

After having the car 1 day i decided something was missing, yes thats right POWER.
So with my redundancy money i decided to let the boys at R-Tech work there magic
Work done
R-Tech Stage 2 K03 re-map
Cat Back Milltek Exhaust with 100mm Anni tailpipe
Forge 007p
3" Downpipe and De-cat
Put the car on the rollers after work was done and produced 197bhp :grin:
During the first couple of weeks i noticed that the bodywork needed a good detail as it look liked a rear caliper and stuck on at some point and the back of the car was cxovered in brake dust. So out came the meguiars, clay bar, wax, wheel cleaner, Metal Polish and Engine degreaser.

After getting it looking its best i decided the engine bay needed something as it looked dull
So on went Forge TIP and fitted my pipercross panel filter i got from R-Tech. Then painted the engine covers White & Red (not the best job but it'll do for time being).

Next up was time to clean them calipers and get some paint on them.
So bit of hard cleaning a some Hammerite Smmoth Red, heres how they came out

Also found this video of my car on the rollers after the remap

After having a few running problems and power feeling down i visited R-tech so they could have a look.
Me and Topher went out for a blast to see what the engine was doing and found the throttle was only half open when my foot was to the floor. So back to the pits and Chris n nick adjusted the throttle body and bam power back to how it should be 198bhp and 224lb/ft torque.
Whilst i was there thought it would be worth upgrading the Dog Mount bush to help reduce engine movement. So they fitted a nice new Forge Dog Mount Bush kit ( Was a laugh watching them trying to press the bushes into place. COWBOYS.lol). once this was fitted you could notice the difference it made.
-
Well just yesterday i decided to change the thermostat and put some new G12 coolant in. Car had been running well down on temperature and fuel consumption was down aswell. So after 1 and half hours, 3 cuts and a snapped Allen bit it was all done. Running temp now back to normal and the power has returned due to correct fuelling.
Also purchased 2 Wing Mirror covers in black, Forge Carbon Fibre engine cover, Audi R8 oil cap and best of all a K03s turbo.
So keep coming back as i will be updating this thread very soon and adding new pictures.
-
Well the first of my upgrades/mods arrived about 10 mins ago
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/CarbonBaby.jpg)
Thanks to Bav.
-
Second delivery of the day has just arrived.
My new genuine Audi R8 oil cap
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/R8oilcap.jpg)
-
Well with the weather being decent for most of the day yesterday i decided to spend some time on the car. Gave it a good clean and wax, then cleaned the inside.
Then put my black wing mirror covers on, these will come off once i spray my old ones black so theres no scratches. But here's an idea of how it looks.
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/06122009168.jpg)
Then thought would give the engine bay a quick clean and fit my carbon engine cover and Audi R8 oil cap, was getting abit dark so didnt get chance to give the bay a good clean.

(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/06122009167.jpg)
Now just waiting for my black grille to arrive then can spray that the same black as the wing mirror covers.
Car is now booked in to have a K03s turbo fitted and remapped at R-Tech next week, so will post results once done.
-
Well just been and got all the nuts, bolts, gaskets & washer for the turbo conversion along with 2 bottles of G12 and oil, filter and sump plug.
Cant wait now.
-
Right, been abit slack lately and not updated this thread.
First off, the K03s is now fitted and the original actuator has been replaced with a Forge actuator. However when we put the car on the rollers we found it still wasnt strong enough so just waiting for R-Tech to get the new uprated one in from Forge and then it'll be back again to have it fitted and mapped up to its potential. For the time being though the car feels more responsive and it deffo makes a difference.
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/15122009174.jpg)
Also been freezing me nuts off the last few days in the garage preppin and priming my wing mirror covers ready to be sprayed black, also going to be doing me spare grille aswell.
1st stage of wing mirror covers
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/27122009180.jpg)

right quick update
Wing mirror covers now have there first couple of coats of Gloss Black, Grille is all flatted down ready for primer. Been that could recently that its been pointless even trying to finish them as i need a heater in the garage.
Instead though fitted a new Collant Temp Sender to see if that cured my poor MPG but unfortunatley after the roadtrip on sunday im still only getting 31 mpg on motorway. So this morning been down to TPS and got my new MAF and installed, think ive noticed a slight difference already but will find out for sure this saturday when i head down south to pick up my new wheels.
Anni BBS RC's in Black :grin:
So once i have them i will get them fitted and post some pics up.
-
Also got a few other bits to keep me busy aswell thanks to Darkgti. Got a spare Rocker cover and inlet manifold that im going to machine polish. So engine bay will look swish when done.
-
Well been and got my new wheels today. will fit them to the car tomorrow but here's how they look, all great condition

well today my aero wipers turned up. genuine VW arms and wipers. Bargin for £28 i think
-
just quick update
went and spent the afternoon with the guys at R-Tech and had my new stronger actuator spring fitted. And now f**k ME!!! its really pulling well. got roughly 230bhp and 250 lb/ft torque. Would put more accurate figures up but i left me dyno print out there.
at one point the car was boosting to 25psi, so nick had to have a play around with the settings and now its running safe power.
next upgrades to increase the power will be bigger injectors and FMIC.
-
well, after being out of work for 4 months havent really had chance to do anything to the car apart from keep it clean.
Well now im back in work its time to start the modding again
recently got new SuperPro Front wishbone bushes, Adjustable drop links and start getting few bits together for big power, started off with getting a 3" MAF housing
MOT this week and hopefully next weekend will be buying Coilovers for the car and then a spare set of front wishbones that i can shot blast and work and paint up and then get bushes pressed in and fitted along with coilovers, adjustable drop links and new strut tops.
Over the next few months i plan to make big changes to the car, so keep watching
-
at long last the car is getting lowered, been wanting to do it for ages but just havent had the money.
Will be fitting FK Sport Coilovers, Adjustable Drop Links, New look wishbones with SuperPro Bushes, Strut Tops, bearings and new nuts and bolts
new look wishbones with SuperPro bushes, kinda motorsport look
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/22062010087.jpg)
and new coilovers
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/07062010070.jpg)
(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/Hulmie/New%20White%20GOLF/07062010069.jpg)
-
coilovers, wishbones, polybushes, adjustable drop links, new strut tops and bearings all now fitted. Car cleaned up.
So here's hows she's looking, think some fine tuning may be needed on the height just to get it level.

Just fitted the cold air intake system from Evo Motorsports, and seems to be working a treat, had to chop the battery tray a bit, to allow the cold air pipe to go from the bumper to the filter, but overall very happy with it(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1941_zpscb904e72.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1941_zpscb904e72.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1942_zps60bf06a9.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1942_zps60bf06a9.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1943_zps495ca7b1.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1943_zps495ca7b1.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1957_zpsc22f4649.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1957_zpsc22f4649.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1958_zpse0c73686.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1958_zpse0c73686.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1959_zps2e115f99.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1959_zps2e115f99.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1960_zps30ccb370.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1960_zps30ccb370.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1961_zpsf340d273.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1961_zpsf340d273.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1962_zps334863ac.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_1962_zps334863ac.jpg.html)

Thought I'd tidy up the interior a bit, my old standard GTI steering wheel was looking a bit worn and tatty :angry:
So I've been to my local Vw Dealership and ordered a brand new R32 steering wheel and clocks :smiley:
Some people are telling me you cant fit the R32 clocks to the 1.8T engine, but i beg to differ with them :grin:
Will post some more pics once the clocks are fitted and coded this week just to prove they can be fitted

Hi there everyone, well once again i cant stop buying parts at the minute :grin: must be something in the air lol.
So firstly met up up with Baxxy yesterday and bought the Cupra R fuel pump of him, on the way home nipped into my local Vw dealer and ordered the new rubber gasket / seal for the fuel pump and a new fuel filter, always buy an original filter the others are crap to be honest :sad:
Well ive picked up the filter and gasket for the pump, and within half an hour it was all fitted, tried to start the car and away she purred, when out on a test drive and my god its going even quicker :grin: feels totally different i.e. a lot smoother and not jittery 3rd gears even more amazing now lol
forgot to take some pictures when fitting it but to be honest i didnt want anything electrical near me cos i had fuel dowm my arms and didnt want to go up with a BOOM !!!!
On my way to Stockport tonight to have my R32 clocks coded and fitted so ill be adding some pics when i get back folks
Plus ill be picking up something else on my way home ??? What will it be this time :smiley:
-
Hey there, well as i was saying the clocks are now fitted, big thanks to Clock Coder Dave from Stockport, top guy whos more than happy to help you, plus the R32 steering wheel is now fitted, the finished job really sets the interior of the car off now, very pleased indeed :grin:

Matt - Glad you could join us this weekend mate. was good to meet you and your mate and very nice seeing my old motor again. you have done some great work so far and look forward to seeing the future mods you do to it.
Great times as well up the strip, was very consistent every run and even Niki from R-Tech was impressed with how healthy the car still is. First ever AGU 1.8T fitted with a k04-023 to run over 300bhp.

Thought i'd just say a big thanks to all the crew at Forge Motorsport for there excellent customer service, i gave them a call last week to see if they would send me out there new and uprated 007 piston and seals which they did, but what was even better was that they sent it out to me free of charge :grin: well done Forge Motorsport !!!

As you can see in the pics ive taken the standard headlamps apart and sprayed the inner light casing in gloss black, a bit like the anniversary spec lights, and im really happy with the finished product :grin: Plus ive also fitted a 55watt 8000k HID kit, LED side lights and main beam which look amazing when driving at night :smiley:

Hi there all, i did this amazing conversion last week but forgot to add to add it to the build thread, but i think you'll all be impressed with what ive done, i want to get rid of the horrible car battery out of the engine bay and put it else where, the original battery was far to big and clumpy so ive bought a Odessey PC680 which is much smaller and compact, compact enough to fit into where the passenger air bag used to be, so out came the air bag, and i then made some brackets so the battery could sit nicely in there.
The only down side to all this is having to reroute all the battery wiring from the engine bay to behind the glove box, it took me a full day to do this but was well worth the hard work in the end :wink:
Big thanks to all that helped me plus nice one Si for running back to his Porsche development company to get me some well needed earthing cable :smiley:
(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2498_zpsaab93cf1.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2498_zpsaab93cf1.jpg.html)
It fits like a glove :smiley:

No more horrible battery's in the engine bay :smiley:

-
Here's a nice little mod for you, not very expensive from your local audi dealer, this covers and protects the cables that go to each injector had to slightly modify it to fit but im really pleased with final product
Oh and here's the part number for it 06J 971 824 B the guy at Audi couldn't find it, so quote this part number and you'll soon have your new cover

Its been a while since i last did something different to the car, but i picked up my newly flocked dash yesterday been waiting for it to be done over the past week but it was well worth the wait :smiley: so ive spent the day taking out the old dash and putting the flocked one into place, thought it was going to be a bit of a nightmare to replace, but wasn't to bigger job in the end.
Gotta say it looks the dogs doodars now fitted :grin:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2688_zps28a655d9.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2688_zps28a655d9.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2690_zpsdecd539d.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2690_zpsdecd539d.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2691_zpsac538fd3.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2691_zpsac538fd3.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2694_zps61f78b45.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2694_zps61f78b45.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2695_zps5e2b22b2.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2695_zps5e2b22b2.jpg.html)

I'm off to meet up with the legendary Dave Brown who's a genius at setting up Porsche brakes onto any car, I'm picking up some custom OE R32 disc's of him, which have had the 'J' hook design machined onto them, im also having the aluminium centres polished, ill add some pics of that once polished up :smiley:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2667_zps840ed2a4.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2667_zps840ed2a4.jpg.html)

love the flocking me! Get them skirts on next :)

Haha..... dont worry dude they will be going on but getting them painted when i get the front bumper etc re painted :smiley:

Well my US spec centre console turned up today :smiley:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2696_zpsd1e0415d.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2696_zpsd1e0415d.jpg.html)
Then i fitted it nicely into place, but had to modify the handbrake bracket slightly, this is because they were made for a left hand drive car so the hand brake needs to move slightly to the left to allow it to fit into the new console (http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2698_zps443424d5.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2698_zps443424d5.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2697_zpsc48098ac.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2697_zpsc48098ac.jpg.html)

Well after may months of hard work i finally fitted my Custom Powder Coated Audi TT subframe, Quick Rack, TT wishbones, TT hubs fitted with Custom OE R32 disc's of Dave Brown who had the 'J' hooks added to them, looks really trick too :smiley: to comfort the disc's I've fitted fully refurbished Porsche 996 calipers with custom billet adapters, really pleased with the how its all looks and performs.
Oh forgot to mention that I've fully polybushed the whole car at the same time, and fitted new Coilovers to allow for the TT anti roll bar set up, And a pair of HELL Braided Lines, theres still a bit of fine tweaking to do but I'm getting that all sorted this week :wink:

Looks mint mate :)
Where did you get your US centre console from?
-
Hey there people, well what can i say, you replace one part and another parts dies on you :angry:
Whilst i was out bedding in the new porsche calliper set up, my clutch started to slip !!! Arrrrrrrr.......
So decided to speak to a company in the US called Spec Clutches recommended by Bill at Badger5, so gave them a call on the monday and ordered a stage3 carbon clutch and aluminium billet flywheel all for the amazing price of £550 inc shipping, but had to pay the dreaded import tax :cry:
Couldn't believe my eyes when a UPS van pulled up friday and delivered the clutch !!!
Opened the box and was made up with what i saw, check it out :smiley:

Should hopefully be fitted this week, but I'm thinking of getting a LSD and installing that at the same time, need to decide which one to go for :undecided:
-
Also this week i finally managed to find a R32 handbrake on eBay, been trying to find one for over 6 months now, so was really pleased when i found this one, think it goes well with the new US spec console :smiley:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2793_zpse649e107.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2793_zpse649e107.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2794_zps7df85b1a.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2794_zps7df85b1a.jpg.html)

After fitting the oil catch can and being a atmospheric set up, i noticed that the breather filter was spitting out a fine mist of oil over a period of time, i took one look at it and didn't like what i was seeing, so spoke to Baxxy and he point me in the right direction of how to sort it out.
I needed to remove the breather filter on the catch can, then run a pipe from where the filter used to sit, and then back to the TIP, to where i'd put the ally bung, but also had to put the UFO back onto the TIP, this now made it an recirulation catch can, started up the car and seemed to run better, and no more Spitting OIL :grin:
job done !!!
Cheers Baxxy :smiley:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2775_zps9cda36cb.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2775_zps9cda36cb.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2777_zpsbe2bfa13.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2777_zpsbe2bfa13.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2776_zps5656ae53.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2776_zps5656ae53.jpg.html)

Well here we go 2014 and lots of great things to follow this year :smiley:
First off my car went into Awsome GTI a few weeks ago and I've had the gear box taken out had it totally refurbished, then had the Quaife ATB LSD fitted and the Spec Stage 3+ clutch and flywheel fitted nicely into place :wink: there was a few teething issue's where the balance weight on the clutch plate was catching the bell housing inside the gear box, so out come the gearbox again :undecided: MORE LABOUR COSTS !!! shaved 2mm of the balance weight put it all back together AGAIN lol and everything was perfect :smiley:
You can see in the pics where it was catching (http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2954_zps086972aa.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2958_zps09794465.jpg.html](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2958_zps09794465.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2960_zpsddd7d19c.jpg.html](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2960_zpsddd7d19c.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2970_zps3f3ff21a.jpg.html](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2970_zps3f3ff21a.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2954_zps086972aa.jpg.html)
I spoke to Jeremy who now works for Spec Clutches he used to be Head Technician at APR Tuning in the USA and he said there must have been a casting defect around the bell housing in the gear box, but its all running like a dream now, only bad thing is I've got to do 500 around town miles in the car to bed the new clutch, flywheel and LSD in, so haven't really open her up yet lol :cry: but i want to run everything in properly, so theres no further issues's that will eat into my wallet :smiley:
-
Well heres the new 18" R32 wheels all fully refurbished and fit perfectly having the ET35 now, so I've put 15mm spacers and the rear and 10mm spacer on the front, I've only got a few pics up to now, will add more soon, but i think they look awsome with the Porsche callipers behind them :grin:(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3055_zps1c3cefda.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2996_zpsb8ab8b3b.jpg.html](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2996_zpsb8ab8b3b.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2994_zps2eabcc61.jpg.html](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_2994_zps2eabcc61.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3055_zps1c3cefda.jpg.html)
It took me ages to find some 55mm 'R' centre caps :angry: but they do look far nicer that the standard Vw ones
-
Haha..... Forgot to mention, when i had the gearbox rebuilt etc i also had a Creation Motorsport Short Shifter fitted at the same, which is fully adjustable to how you may like it, plus new gear linkage ends :grin: works a treat and half the price of most others available !!!(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3064_zpsdb57b7c8.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3064_zpsdb57b7c8.jpg.html)(http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a543/mattyfairbro240579/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3063_zps11854376.jpg) (http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/mattyfairbro240579/media/My%20Vw%20Golf%20Mk4/IMG_3063_zps11854376.jpg.html)

Hi mate
Real nice car :smiley:
Was the cupra r fuel pump an easy fit n fit str8 in and also the Saab injectors ?
-
Hi there Gary, thanks for taking an interest in my build thread :smiley:
The cupra r fuel pump took less than 10 mins to fit, one of the easiest mods I've done, lift up the rear seats and the car carpet, undo the black plastic collar holding the pump in, disconnect the fuel lines, you need to pinch the ends of the lines in think to remove them, all id recommend is to get a new rubber gasket for the pump and disconnect the battery due to the wiring loom going to it, don't wana blow you and the car up lol :grin:
As far as the saab red injectors they were on the car when i bought it, but it was Ben Parson of Parsons performance who built the engine at the time, but they work a treat, there highly recommended by the R Tech lads, who do all my mapping on the car :smiley:
What this space, theres a Hybrid WaterMeth Kit being fitted over the next few weeks, and then trip to see Nic at R Tech to have a stage 2 map done to finish things of nicely :evil:
-
Thanks 4 the advice man
Keep up the good work :smiley:
Car is beautiful :laugh:
-
No worries Gary Turbo :smiley: cheers for the comments mate !!
I forgot to add the pics of the Vibra Technic's engine mounts now fitted, and having them powder coated in gloss black with a bit of porsche red fitted in nice with the rest of the engine bay :grin:
LEFT MOUNT : Vibra Technics Competition Mount - VAG408MX
RIGHT MOUNT : Vibra Technics Competition Mount - VAG402MX
I've got to admit that fitting theses has made a real different to car and well worth every penny, a must for anyone running big power !!!

Hey there everyone, its been a few weeks since i last updated the thread :roll eyes: been to busy !!!
There's been quite a few things happening, so here we go !!!
First of all, my new TT rear axel was finally fitted, complete with Powerflex Poly Bushes ( nightmare to fit for some reason ), Braided rear Brake Lines, TT rear calipers fitted with Red Stuff Pads and 256mm drilled and grooved discs.
New Rear Coilovers and Febi Top Mounts were also fitted at the same time, really pleased with how its turned out and the rear of the car feels a lot tighter now :grin:
There's a rear WhiteLine ARB still to be fitted will add pics of that when done !!!!

The WhiteLine rear ARB is a must have for perfecting the handling of your Mk4, the car feels so much smoother and handles beautifully round corners now !!! A really good piece of kit.... and looks the part too :evil:

Well it's nearly time for GTI Spring Festival 2014 :grin:
All the AEM Gauges and Wideband have been fully installed and working a treat, plus the new Forge Actuator has been fitted nicely into place... :smiley: the car had to have a new remap due to it over boosting and spiking !!!
AEM Gauges that were fitted :-
AEM EGT Gauge
AEM Oil Temp
AEM Full WideBand / Data Logger ( nice bit of kit ) !!!!
There was a Aquamist DDS3 Fail Safe unit / gauge installed to work with the Watermeth
Since to Actuator and the remap was done on friday were now running 1.6bar / 24psi with ease and apparently theres still room to push it a little bit more but I'm going to wait until the Watermeth is fully up and running and look at doing a switchable map on the car, were going to have to tweak / modify the ECU to allow the 2 way switchable map :wink:

Well after an exciting weekend at Santa Pod Spring Fest 2014 and shredded the tyres to pieces !!! I thought it was about time to invest in some road legal track tyres :grin: so after some deliberation I've gone for a full set of Federal RSR 595's front and rear...... You've gotta get onto these tyres there EPIC !!!

Well its been a few weeks since I've done any mods on the car, been working on my BIG powered 4wd drag car getting the launch control and flat shift perfected..... :grin:
But i picked this Sparco Strut Brace up of ebay for £16... BARGAIN !!! Its was a bit grotty, so had it powder coated to match the car, costing me an extra £10..... but it really looks the part now and fitted perfectly using stainless bolts to fix it into place :smiley:
