Sam's low boost supercharged rallye

[7057sam]

Ok well day 1 was so mad with bits not fitting, not right parts in oil cooler was a right piss about.so we staeted with the oil cooler decided to go with a 16 row cooler as I have heard 13's aren't up to it.
So got the kit unpacked pipes where miles to long can't cut them because of the stupid ends so had to get the cable tires out
It was also a bloody good job I didn't have a gti6 twin fan setup or we would of been completely f*cked.we out out the second fan suround and mount it they.also replace the oil filter at the same time.


Sitting just to the side of the number plate



Engine looking very sorry for itself, no battery either



So we relocated the battery behind passengers seat



Rocker covers on and fc coil pack also sanded back cylinder head and autosoled it

Looks good chap! With regards to moving the battery did you just extend from or did you do all the live and earth points in the bay?

Cheers johhy I got some earths with the swampy kit I link on to a bolt on the battery box plate and we ran one (not the earth) into the fuse box.i can get pictures for you if you want my main problem was we had was we had no terminals at my mate garage so had to burn one of a old cable.

[7057sam]

So got the cover on and manifold and re worked the induction kit with lots of cable tires also relocated the ecu box and cable tired that to the back of the engine bay then we had to adjust the strut brace as it didn't quite clear the brake fluid reservoir.







Got to paint the side of the block at the weekend and slam panel.

Day 2 BRAKES !!!



They clear...just.bloody close mind





Then lowered the back and replaced broken shocks the ta ones are literally haf the size of the oe ones so no more bumpy ride.
After it settled

---

Then we started on the seats pig of a job.side mounts did nt fit so had to basically cut new holes and de drilled the base mounts quite cleverly so base mounted seats still fit









Getting chuffed with them so comfortable, love long journeys now

Not to much now was going to get a jetex cat back this week but got to do the bloody cam belt instead

Aero catches do on then and maybe lower the front abit see how the rear settle's over the comming days

[7057sam]

Dropped the old buckets off a mr rowell today and had a little go on NFS underground 2, god thatvgame brings back some good memories

Got this picture this morning I got 50 like already on Facebook so thought it was worth showing

[7057sam]

So started today painting up bits in the engine bay.

I used a vht paint, stupidly I did have the job then relised I was useing matt black instead of gloss but thought I do it then see if it grounds on me .

At work we have a seam cleaner so may give that a shot aswell

Before I started .





So did throttle body, cylinder head pas pump engine mount.





Shame with matt goes nt really do it justice but its alot better, think I ll do the cylinder head front bit as the polishing ant going as planned

Then I started on my spare wheel holder as I removed the original one



Haven't bolted anything in place yet though its a £3 replacement metal tabel leg from homebase and with a foam insert to stop the movement its great also got a strap the tire it down for good measure.

---

Still to do is painting slam panel and clean all the crap of the abs unit or blank it off with a plastic cover

[ozonehostile]
