Wazzzer's 1.8T... Lots of updates

[Wazzzer]

As promised her are some pics of the clocks I've been working on

These are the SMDs Ray (aRd) replaced for me, he also changed the blue backlights for the LED displays to red



My Creation Motorsport Bora Sport foils turned up today



Now these aren't as straightforward to fit as they look as they don't have tinted parts for the indicator arrows or an icon on the full beam light. This is because the genuine Bora Sport foils have these built into the dash fronts. So a little bodging is needed 

What I did was to cut the bits I needed from the old foils and overlay them onto the new foils with a bit of sellotape 





Then assemble them together with the needles, doesn't look pretty yet...



but with the face on you'd never know 





Very happy with the outcome and they'll be fitted soon along with MTE and lit needles enabled 

The wires I need to make the MFD work have been ordered and I thought while I was there I would fit comfort indicators too so they are on their way as well

I went over a pot hole yesterday and heard a loud metallic bang so I need to get it up on the jack and have a look tomorrow, wonder if I've broken a spring

Am only expecting good things from aRd 

Look forward to seeing them lit up

[Wazzzer]

Creations who supply the covers I use to service my car nice lads Ive had these covers fitted on every mk4 Ive owned as its such a nice little mod.Only mistake I made first time round was fit cheapo silver surrounds round the dials inside,ive since replaced these for some brushed aluminum ones which look alot better.Pic of mine with the cheapo rings in now gone.

[Wazzzer]

Yeah the cheap rings are completely shiny which look cack.

Always love the detail and finishing touches in this thread, nice work as always. Dials are going to look sweet. 

[Wazzzer]

Much appreciated mate thanks

Been tinkering today as I heard a big pop the other day while putting my foot down...

Turns out I hadn't pushed the pipe I took off to fit the WMI jet on enough and it had popped off. Not enough to affect it too badly though, it still pulled 182g/s @15psi, which using the very rough MAF/0.8 calculation comes to 230bhp 

I'm also sorting the throttle angle out, I remember Nick grinding the stop away slightly last time I went up to R-Tech HQ and since then I've swapped inlets with Dave... I've got to borrow the missus tomorrow to be pedal pusher while I check if there is any more adjustment to be had to get it back to around 88deg

Also my parts for the Bora Sport clocks are here so will be picking them up and fitting ASAP
