Goldie 2 Posted September 29, 2018 Manifold all fitted. While the casting is a straight fit the angle of the throttle body does cause a few issues. I have had to use an early VR inlet elbow, the ISV wiring and coolant hoses aren't in stock positions. As i am using it without the flap fitted there are no real gains in terms of power but the car does sound different especially on tick over. I am absolutely delighted with it.

Goldie 2 Posted March 9, 2020 Goodness. I haven’t update this in ages. The car is tucked away and hasn’t really moved since I fitted the manifold. It will be out more this year though. This was her catching a rare glimpse of sunlight for insurance renewal. New daily BM and a mk2 project. It is not pretty and needs lots of love but I have wanted a silver one for ages.

Keyo 47 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Nice is that saturn silver ? Did the car come with the Recaros and where did you get the VSR from ? Edited March 9, 2020 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 9, 2020 I was thinking you'd been quiet after seeing your mug in Martin's post! Hopefully see you at some point this year mate. And get the Nothelles back on! 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Satin silver, the car is pretty much flawless! Recaros have been recovered with Napa leather, again flawless! And the VSR was bought from a car that he and easypops bought together a couple of years ago that had been fire damaged.

Poor chap had a fire behind the dash if I remember. There is a mint set of cream Recaros for sale on facebook that have been re trimmed - looks a great job-seller based in Ireland- asking 2K.

Cressa 43 Posted March 10, 2020 Your car is perfect. Loving the clean and organized spare sets of wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Yeah like the wheel rack, also a big fan of saturn silver on a Rado. I have a few sets of wheels and they are always in the way so need to find a solution. Good luck with the MK2 Golf Im a big fan and mine is complete now thankfully. Just went through the painful task of taking all the trims off and finding out what was lurking underneath, gearbox rebuild, head rebuild, geometrics/suspension, headliner retrim and interior. and bespoke stainless steel fuel injector lines.

I not long took all my bumpers off and and arch trims and sills , It was hiding a multitude of sins but thankfully all sorted now and got the new bumper brackets and the Irons powder coated and a big bill from the body shop0 cant thank them enough for a great job. I will post some pics up on my thread black magic as not to clog up your thread. Cars looking mint Saturn silver is up there as one of my favorite colours for a Rado and really suite the Nothelle alloys. . Excellent car on every basis.

Cressa 43 Posted March 25, 2020 Mate your car is awesome. Judging by your MOT mileage you need to get out more 😄 Be great to see a picture of your steering wheel.
