Could have at least treated them to some decent rubber. Runway enduro

especially with all that torque.

Much better just avoid pot holes

This is the second set I've had now on the golf and I love them, brilliant in all weather conditions and good lasting, hardly a torque master anyway

Well I haven't updated this in a while, to be truthful working outside throughout the winter put a bit of a downer on the project as any spare time i had I just wanted to spend in the warm

however this has lead to a few exciting things

.... I have still been ordering parts for this years new resolution of the cars looks but it's only just occurred as to how much I have collected

so here's a quick teaser, anyone care to take a guess

?

Fitting will commence on the first sight of a nice day

Not strictly Vag related but was my first engine rebuild so quite excited about it...

As I haven't had much enthusiasm for the project I've been doing all the overtime I can at work to fund it as believe it or not this is all funded through a first year plant engineer apprentice wage which believe me is

, but I know it will be worth it in the long run and I do thoroughly enjoy my job. Doing all this overtime has definitely helped as I've been involved in jobs that a first year apprentice wouldn't normally be even heard of participating in such as this inspection and rebuild of this common rail 6 cylinder 24 valve turbo diesel Isuzu lump which powers a 40ton excavator....

strip down

Possibly found a new blower to power the golf

Anyone spot the problem

Yep you got it

Also think ive found some strong enough rods

Update to follow

Super read my friend. A good case put forward that the 5 door is better than 3.
Could you do me a favor if you ever get a minute?
Could you pm me over a list of the pipes used for the IC?
Do you reckon 2.25" would be enough for a tiny k03?

thanks for taking the time bud

always good to hear nice comments.

Yer of course bud, il gather my notes and il pm you.

erm depends what sort of power your chasing to be honest, last year Rtech maxxed my set up which should of been good for 250bhp on there older software to 230bhp due to the fact i overlooked tiny restrictve 1.75" pipework and they highly recomended upgrading to 2.5" for optimum flow
