Well i have just got back from my local dealers.. Received my new stress bolts for fitting dog bone mount as ive purchased some new poly bushes for it which i will be fitting tomorrow..

Also received a new fuel filter which will be going on on the 8th as thats the day of my service so will fit it all at the same time.. Also got some IK22 iridium spark plugs to fit bought them for £5 delivered brand new they like £45 retail !!

Just got to get a new pollen filter as mines getting on a wee bit now.. then thats a fuel service.. Vw are jsut changing my oil and checking all bushes etc as i dont have time to hunt for problems lol..

Also received my new silicone piping for on top of the 007p yesterday so that will go on later hopefully..

Will update later once car is washed etc..

Well fitted my poly bush to my dogbone mount.. really am not sure on the vibration when pulling away.. hopefully this will settle down after the bush has bedded itself in.. Note to anyone doing dogbone mount bushes what ever you do DO NOT lose the little compression nut that holds the bloody thing together ive had to make myself up a custom nut from losing mine as the thread on ukmkiv's doesn't state there is even a nut there lol

On the plus side you can really really notice the difference once pulling away and booting it so much more smooth with the gear changes and throttle response is better.. worth all of the £30 i paid for powerflex bush and the bolts from VW..

Also fitted my little bit of 4mm silicone tubing to the 007p.. to be honest i didnt need to replace as my OEM hose was in great shape not brittle at all but still changed it anyways..

Thats all for this week..

Parts still need to get -

- Cat-back exhaust
- De-cat or sports cat
- Aero arms and blades

Getting remap on 6th december so need to have.. catch can installed.. service.. plugs.. fuel filter.. Also going to get RTech to install a forge TIP for me..
