bit more work in the engine bay

are you in the trade? just having a lot of cars doesn't qualify you for a trade policy.

just stop spending until you find another job

how can you NOT notice that horrid monotonous drone that charger makes?! I couldn't drive one for more than 10 mintues.

M8x65Z1 allen key head bolt (combi) according to ETKA (no idea what Z1 means, think combi means it has a washer on it)) N 901 442 01

aye, swapped the charge for a set of schrick cams. I'd never have paid £3000 for one, but I couldn't really not have a go at fitting it for what it owes me (i.e. nothing).

so you have trouble with the scirocco, not peloquin. would you please rename the thread, I don't like to see good companies getting bad press (not that you'd said anything bad, just the name of the thread implies you have trouble with peloquin, not getting a peloquin from another complany) i can supply you with a peloquin, but they are out of stock on 02A's for the next 4 weeks.

now that's battered! (and completely off topic.....) updates from this aft. would like to have got more done but I was at work this morning. first overtime I've been offered for 3 years so couldn't turn it down. new seat. Recaro Pro Racer SPG. out of date for race use, but it's still in good nick so it'll do me. literally has 10mm of padding on the arse though, will need to pad that out a bit more! removing the rear seat base support. using a spot weld drill to drill though the part I'm removing only. upper bulkhead removed to aid engine bay cooling and make more room. chassis number retained, I'll wrap it around the strut brace and weld it to that. never keen on the idea of cutting it out really. this is where the tunnel was modifed to fit the 9n polo shifter unit. you can see the prop support too. windscreen removed. check out the roof seam where the panels are brazed together. engine out, charger mounted up temporarily. it's a big bugger! need to measure up and design some bracketry for it going to bore out he alternator bracket on that round bit where the tensioner used to live. I'll fit a bearing in there for the shaft to drive the charger. removed the washer bottle bracket. set rails are coming out too windscreen had a bullseye in it anyway so i din't even attempt to try and save it. absolute swine of a job, took me 3 hours to get that out. current status

i know what you are saying, and i don't think this forum has the same "vibe" as some of the other vw ones.

it's only a panel. and it was knackered anyway.

there's a fox up the road from me. didn't even realise it ws a VW for over a week. thoght it was some jap crap! I reckon my corrado would fit UNDER it, it's so high.

had a mare trying to remove the windows. I bought some proper tools off ebay, not having much joy with them, stanley knife is better.... i started on the passenger side rear quarter glass, I I knew it didn't matter if I broke it as it needed replacing anyway. looks like somone has been hitting it with a rock in the past trying to break it. anyway, I got most of the sealant cut, and had the wondow practically hanging out. only the back corner to go, but I guess the marks from the rock had weakened the glass, as it shattered. problem being, the seal them fell against the bodywork and scratched the rear arch to buggery. removed the rear seat surround tonight and drilled out the spot welds for the seat mounts. going to weigh all the peices I've removed before I scrap them.

mines going in for one in 3 weeks time. to save on cost I could have them mkae you another one at the same time if you like? they'll havemy car for all the measurements.

I used to have 10"s on mine. 265's were a bit big though. Mk4 arches are massive.

Cargraphic? class rims. would have preferred to see them on the car.....(then again, I already knew you were fitting those) did you find the stainless rims weighed a ton?

I'm surprised you didn't fill in the bottom of the tailgate to so it blends in with the bumper.

LOL! the complete reverse of what all the lads were doing with "flushed" tailgates all those years ago. Awesome bodywork skills, but sorry, don't like it, i think it looks like a micra.

nice. I hate the standard mirrors, they stink.

move house.

so much for main dealers only sellling the mint examples then....

why so high priced? most of the ones I see are around the £14K mark.

check out the gearshifter support, LMAO!

they have totally lost the plot, it's crap.

Short vid of the roof being cut. Be patient as youtube may not have it cleared it yet.

I had the air nibbler out anyway, so I thought it would be rude no to chop the rest of the roof out. Vid uploading now.
