Title: Newly aquired - AUQ 180bhp 6 speed 3dr black & leather
Post by: billy_vw on 09 March 2012, 18:31
A few weeks back i was looking for a 2 door project

But ended up buying my 5 door V5 back  :rolleyes:

I then had an oppurtunity to purchase this:

Dont they look nice together

Needs little tlc , like a wing mirror & gear gaitor

(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/billy_vw/007-8.jpg)

but overall i'm very impressed with standard 180bhp.

1st thing ive done is swap air filters, so the turbo now has a pipercross panel filter.

I need to take both cars to a garage to swap the scorpion exhaust from V5 to the turbo.
As i was the original purchaser of the scorpion exhaust & receipt is still in my name, the lifetime guarantee still will be valid.

I have JOM coilovers ready to fit And some of these (as i never fitted to V5)

Im gonna cambelt/waterpump & service

and generally tidy bits up

Progress will follow soon  :smiley:

Had a little issue with swapping Exhausts  :angry:

The one on the black turbo is its original exhaust, so 1 piece
That means i could move the scorpion from V5 no problem

But can not remove the one of the turbo in 1 pc.......

So ive got 2 options

1. find a 2nd hand exhaust to put onto V5

or

2. just buy another new Scorpion exhaust for the turbo @ £300

 :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

So im on the look out for a cheap exhaust at the mo

That's what the bloke in garage said he would have to do if i wanted it off whole...but did not have time as he was only going to do me a sunday morning cash in hand swap over.

Cut the exhaust and rejoin with a sleeve  :smiley:

He did not want to possibly cut in wrong place

He would have done it if it was a simple un-bolt - swap & then bolt up again

If i dont get a 2nd hand exhaust this week, ill just order a new scorpion.

Replacement wing mirror

I am going to buy a new exhaust, as the one on V5 is non resonated

Coilovers fitted today

You can see the different height versus the V5 on the front wheels

(http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q131/billy_vw/010-9.jpg)

need to let it settle in for a few weeks to see if it needs adjusting.

New Exhaust on order

The suspension has settled a bit since running it.

Don't really want to drop any lower with 1 million speed humps in swindon & im not getting any younger
 so want to keep my spine in tact for a bit longer  :wink:
