rio_gti - '00 GTI

[rio_gti]

and welded



just waiting for 2 more silicone hoses then time to pipe up the intercooler 

and if all goes well i will put up the exact list of hoses and pipes used

[rio_gti]

gave it a trial fit as im still waiting for 2 more silicone bends



but as it stands at the mo, gotta get a couple of fittings for the catch can relocation, cut the d/v hose down and then when the othe 2 hoses come the intercooler should all be done 

[rio_gti]

Cold side offered up, just gotta bead a pipe befor it all gets clamped in place.... But it's nearly there!!!!

[rio_gti]

Nice one 

Black pipes only thru the bumper grills.... Blue under the bonnet

how much did you pay for your welding just out of interest? 

[rio_gti]

It was a pal that done it so just for a drink 

[rio_gti]

Couple more bits done today,

Cut and fitted guard



Remounted the horns, I bolted one to the other as I didn't know where else to put it!! Works thou!!



Just waiting for the last boost pipe to be beaded then I can get the bumper on 

[rio_gti]

So it wasn't beaded but it was flared so should do the same job

so here is the list of what was used...

1x 45mm straight silicone (100mm)
1x 45 x 63mm alloy reducer
2x 63mm silicone bend
1x 63mm alloy 45* bend

also catch can has been remounted and piped up, and all other unnecessary pipes plugged in the bay.... so all engine work done now, all thats left is headlights to go in, bumper to be sprayed and fitted and exhaust to go on, then i can get it on the road!!!

(still have to fit side skirts and spoiler and mod mud flaps but that can wait.... just wanna drive the thing!!!)

 

[rio_gti]

bumper trimmed and trial fitted, im happy with the result (as happy as i can be as alot had to be cut)
hopefully the mesh can go in after it is fitted and has settled.......but i snapped a pic with it in
