Ok thanks for the reply. Might just get the welder out and see how that goes first.

Sorry to see you ran in to trouble but great to see you've pushed on regardless.  It's really coming on now... Keep it up.   :cool:

Cheers mate, yeah it is getting there. Wired in the electronic boost controller again yesterday, just need to work out how to use it now!  :grin:

At the mo it doesn't boost properly but think that was down to no boost controller and some boost leaks, think I'm going to weld all solid intercooler pipe work to reduce the chance of leak and ill be able to really turn up the boost!  :evil:

Cleaned the engine bay to give rid of most of the oil and repainted rocker cover, looks a bit better now.

This arrived today a birthday present to myself!  :smiley:







And a newly painted Vr6 throttle body to hopefully fit to it.


Looking forward to fitting it  :evil:

Yeah it looks good, I like shiney things!  :grin:

Just need to find a fpr to fit other than the big ebay ones. Maybe able to cut the standard housing and fit that I guess.

Just a small update

Ive done about 60 miles since the new rods and rings so was time to drop the sump clean it out and change oil and filter.

Lucky I could get the car in the workshop with all this freezing weather!



sump off



Crap in the oil, not good.



Fresh mineral break in oil and new filter good for the next 500 or so miles then will change it again
