RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 20-06-2012

Any idea how i can tell if the other mounts have been uprated? Looks like someone has spent abit of money on her at some point powerflex bottom arm bushes and nissens ally rad aswell Big Grin

Ive also decided to do away with the air con Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - samass - 20-06-2012

nice to see you're starting proper work on this now!

with the mounts, get a lever bar on the and see how much they move i guess, or see how much the engine moves under revving it?

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 20-06-2012

Yh will do that mate Smile

i wernt sure if they would have any part numbers or names exc on them.
The bottom one in pic looks like a grp n one to me just hope its got a full set fitted Big Grin

Engine should be out tomorrow i hope Smile

then its clean the dirty bay up time Big Grin

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 20-06-2012

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 25-06-2012

got the engine built up today and the inlet painted Big Grin

just wating for the clutch cam belt and aux setup to come now Smile

still got to pull parts back off it to paint them up yet Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - puglove - 25-06-2012

Have you managed to sort out the engine mount yet? quite a common problem IIRC

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 25-06-2012

Noy yet mate going to try get intouch with daveyboy off the gti forum and get one of his kits and weld it in Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - puglove - 25-06-2012

Ah right cool cool, shouldnt be to much hassel then, as long as your handy with a welder

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - Curt - 25-06-2012

It's quite a common thing I think, Ed's diablo was the same too.

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 25-06-2012

Yh it does seem to be quite common esp on the bigger engined 306s Sad

my dad is a very good welder so im sorted with that i could get him to make me the plate aswell but it will just save time and hassle if i buy the kit Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 02-07-2012

As some of you may know ive had thoughts of calling it a day with the 6 and breaking it for parts stull undecided :/

Bit of progress made tho started making the plate to fix the engine mount today will get pics up when its done Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - puglove - 02-07-2012

March on through and get her done mate! TBH you dont actually see alot of silver 6's, you will love it more once you have put it back together than any car you have just bought and run!

I think its worth seeing through mate Big Grin

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 02-07-2012

Thats quite true i havent seen many silver 6 around Smile

i think im going to get her finished Smile

and run her and save abit and buy a rallye aswell for use on the wkends and shows Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - puglove - 02-07-2012

Dont understand rallyes these days, pay more get less. And all that to save the weight of a small child. Lol

just use that cash you would spend on a rallye to make it into a fast road 6 weekend blasted ans buy a dt with what youd save by not having to insure 2 xu10j4rs's . But thats allways going to seem like a good idea to me because thats what i did lol

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 03-07-2012

small update on the repair plate Smile

still needs abit of bending but you get the idea Big Grin

also made 2 shims to stiffen up the top part of the mount.

I can lend u my reciept mate and you can take it down to sureparts and say i want this at that price Wink

you have to pay first and they get it deliverd for next day for you Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 13-07-2012

I got impatient and decided to fit the aux setup its not tensioned up yet as you can see Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - samass - 13-07-2012

not tensioned? dunno what youre on about mate, spot on! Wink

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 15-07-2012

Cam belt and water pump fitted to the engine today Smile

and rallye aux setup tensioned up and few other parts fitted Smile

the engine is now ready to drop in the car. Just need to figure out what sensor a plug goes on then sort rack gator out and a drivers drive shaft and weld in the plate to fix the cradle Smile

Also ripped all the air con pipes out Smile

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 11-08-2012

Fixed the mount cradle and added abit of stiffness Big Grin

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 13-08-2012

If you mean the manifold then yes abit of a pita to do took me a few hours to wrap it as evern as i could. Big Grin

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 18-08-2012

Currently at a&e due to crackin my forhead open while working on the 6 Sad

R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - Jonny b - 18-08-2012

Looking good dude, though won't you get hotspots on the bare bits of the manifold?

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 18-08-2012

The only bare bits is where it bolts to the head and where the cat bolts to the mani so i think it will be ok Smile

its wraped quite even so i think all will be good Smile

R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - Jonny b - 18-08-2012

Actually my bad just zoomed in and they are jubilee clips lol on my phone thought they were bare fanimold ha ha

RE: R45_ODV's gti6 resurrection - spike2002 - 18-08-2012
