MIssed replies....bloody no email noitifactions!
Yeah, pre-recall arms. 30mm front bush with stub for mk4 drop link mod. Rare as hens teeth and those arms are worth more than my runabout daily! crazy!
Anyhow...updates since ive been lacking over here!
Got subframe sorted out today.
R32 rack installed with superpro rack bush
FK Rollbar painted and superpro 22mm bushes
Wishbones installed with superpro caster increase bushes and drilled to fit mk4 rollbar
Powerflex yellow Dogbone upgrade
All freshened up with some paint.
Drilled wishbones to suit mk4 rollbar:
Pic in bay:
Head dropped off to be rebuilt, new stem seals etc, just make sure everything ok before putting it on engine. Flywheel sent to be balanced.
Mocked my intercooler up on the runabout so crashbars could be swapped over and front panel + radiator
Made a new brake pipe up for the rear (bloody long):
Installed the first rear brake line neatly.
Then finished brake flexi's off with OEM clips:
Did the same with rear axle too just needed to spend ages laid under car filing hole out to fit the HEL braided lines....not something I want to do again!
Fitted the rear brakes up with new discs and pads (mintex)
And some nice fluid to finish the braking system off.
However, ran into issues with the master cylinder and servo.....bleed nipple snapped off and servo spring was distorted so couldnt pump fluid with pedal....so rather than fix it (which I managed) wasnt going to risk it being brakes so picked a new master cylinder and servo off a mate and that was spot on.
Whilst doing that....changed top mount on daily....didnt go too well after dropping a car onto my finger whilst it was between the coils of the spring whilst guiding coilover into location. Never felt so much pain ever!
How its not broken....is beyond me!
next step was making braked up for catch can.
4" pipe held into location.
Chopped and brackets made to bolt to 1.8T engine bracket.
just need to grab a welder and tack them on now
