shes coming on great! shame about not having the time to phase 1 her.

Thanks buddy

Ive done it once on the old PH2 DTurbo ..... I may do it again, lol. May well happen

I cant stand the monster truck stance at the moment though so badly needs addressing haha

[procta]

get the stance then start the facelift.
are you planning on pushing for big power?

I will be running PT81 cams and having it remapped soon so from that Im hoiping for about 190bhp from what I have researched.

Then I will be going for throttle bodies eventually and hoping to run around 210/220bhp.

Not huge power but enough to keep me happy for a while.

After all thats done I might get a spare engine and go a little more exrteme and go for something around 250bhp but without using a supercharger

Small Update:

Got bored and the weather was nice so did a little something to the car ..... Fitted my new leather steering wheel

Heres the old battered and cracked one


Close up of poor condition


Was expecting a big feck off nut so was happy to find only a T50 bolt


Then to the much nicer wheel


A close up to show how much better condition it is in


Big thanks to Raz (PBoost/GTI6) for the wheel

Springs also arrived today so I will be building these up off the car and pending good weather will be fitting during the week if not then it will be weekend

Update:

Wel over last couple of sunny days I have finally had my parts through for the suspension so on Wednesday night got the struts all built up for a bolt on bolt off



Had to pay a visit to Raz (Pboost/GTI 6) as I had lost the washers for the struts, just my luck but Raz being a huge help had a few spares struts which he let me rip apart so all was good again. Got back home last night from work at 5 had a rest then decided sod it lets crack on with this so stripped it down and got working. All went fine on the one side but on the drivers side the droplink boly wouldnt come out, after 30 mins of trying and no success but stripping off the grip on a set of mole grips, breaking a T30 bit as the nut was so seized I had to admit defeat and ask for help .....Raaaaaaaz can you help me but we need an angle grinder 30 mins later Raz get there and bolt is gone Put in the new droplink and bob your uncles all done, wheels on and top up with gearbox oil ...... I hate driveshafts! lol!

Was dark when I finished so just a quick pick when I go to work to show you and more tonight when the rear has been lowered



Sits just right on the front, get the back down about 30/40mm and it will look perfect

Thanks for looking
