Keyo

Did a couple of jobs on the Audi today - de baged rear panel fir a clean look - painted callipers and fitted some decal and some new wheel caps . 320 mm I think they are. Garage truss roof arriving tomorrow so full doors sharada on that .

As description - they are handed so passenger side thanks . Can still buy them nee but my mate needs one and it will take weeks from classics to arrive !

Just lever open - I will then use black tiger seal to re seal so it gives a new black back ground top snd bottom of decal . IMG_1461.MOV

Great upgrade looks the business 👍

Its has been a slow process on the garage build but things have been moving on now - my builders went on holiday so decided to do the slab after doing some research . Did the shuttering at the front then carried on to reinforce the concrete with lattice chairs at the base then mesh on top which gives a double layer tie- also squidgy 15 mm boards used around perimeter to allow for expansion . The concrete poor started at 5 pm 40 newton meter mix- then was was finished buffed off at 10 pm - it has been very challenging with the weather in the 30s- so opted for a pooling cure - wet slab and let the concrete sweat under the white reflective sheeting basically promoting a slow cure time with slow hydration (water escape) curing is what gives the concrete strength and if it dries out to quick you get plenty of cracking and a very powdery surface- only achieve 50 percent of strength as hydration is what causes the chemical reaction. Slab will be left to be pooled for 1 week- with sheets taken off every night- let the slab breath for a couple of hours then hose down and sheets back on. Walls and wall plate will by the on including cantic beams end of next week - then roof trusses delivered Monday and roof completed end of that week. Roof will be constructed with ready made trusses- tiles are Staffordshire clay Dreanoughts manufactured from local the clay pit and fired in the Black country - Arris Hips will be used to match the main roof which give a sharp roof line and low maintenance as you do not need to use mortar to point like a half round just a nail at the top and a dab on the bottom of grabber . Under sheeting I'm using the dreadnought extra thick. Im really in two minds just to paint the concrete blocks white internal instead of plaster boards and plastering. Same for the roof - really cant see no point plastering it - happy for the roof space to be seen and can stack the odd thing or two on the wooden trusses. Popped down the local quarry and they made me up some saddle stones from Granite to put under the base of the oak columns which will be placed on the façade of the front elevation .

Ive loaded the video to the corrado forum facebook page- thats what I will do in the future as its a public page. https://www.facebook.com/john.luke.589583/videos/1118973352060476

That will be because I’ve now got my fb page on private and the forum website does not cater to download a small video clip to the site .

Not me mate i just changed the feed line from filter to bay and the soft hoses on the on the end of the hard lines - take it you have changed out your fpr if you have had fuelling issues - did you leave e 5 or e 10 in the car mate. If this helps this is the fuel line for ends. External . In regards to fuelling old cars- new pump - fpr- lines- and get injectors cleaned - fuel relay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/382558389619 These are the clamps I used. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132124984649 Fuel lines internal tank (sitting in fuel ) let me know and i will dig that out to if needs be.

Check they aint had a nibble on that draughtstrip and built a tunnel - thats how mine got in.

How much HP can EA888 handle? (third Generation TFSI) IROZ Motorsport offers a number of hybrid and big-turbo options for the Gen 3 EA888 engine in the Mk7 GTI, which, when paired with United Motorsport tuning and fueling upgrades, can produce 800+ horsepower.22 Sept 2021

Great cars - my third one - got to say the tdi 3.0 is the best engine - the torque of that thing gives an exceptional daily car- I just went for petrol this time as diesel seems exspensive and will be for a while because most of it comes from Russia- I really reccomend anyone looking for a 10 k dily to consider one- so comfortable- you get real nice seats made out of fine nappa leather heated / mine cost 12.5 k with only 51 k on the clock .

No mate just a straight up tune - it does really fly pretty mental how cheap it is to get the raise in figures- hopefully there will be no negatives of the tune- Vince seemed to think not- time will tell - clutch would be the first thing to drop it ass i imagine . Its the third generation 2.0 tfsi engine- has the fuel filler cap on the timing cover- the engine is mounted longitude on a Quattro - vw the opposite way so fuel cap is on the side and on the front of a quatty- due to awd . Since I've owned cleaned the bay - took the scuttle off and cleaned the drains- its so nice to have a car that you can keep in good shape before the rot comes. Noticed this on the screen to- i was wondering why it beaded the water so well.

Have good check of the cabling- can you see any mouse droppings in the garage.

Aye I think you might of said hello to me earlier I was the chap with the Audi A5 - took it for a tune - from 220 BHP to 300 bhp- torque upto 325 - not bad for a 2 litre aye. He told me about that as well 92 ron- China is famous for this - they send a good example fpr testing - leave a good one at the top of the pile and then cheapskate the rest- hence why the metal in all the new bridges is now rusting its tits off- exactly why British steel plants should be kept alive and alongside refinery plants which are all pretty much shut down- also chips need to be started to be made here- California and the UK basically subcontracted out the tech to Taiwan for economical reasons - so many bad decisions the last 20 years made by the UK- makes you want to vomit - it makes us rely on unreliable and corrupt sources who we basically are arming with wealth.

Its a shame as some of the best alloys are in 17 = especially some of the oz and momo splits.

Thanks mate its really nice have a modern daily - been scaffolding since 16 and not getting any younger so the comfort is really good . So here she is off to her new owner- I 80s and 90s forced induction car collector- delivered straight to his storage facility . Overall its a huge success story as the car has been restored and has gone to an owner that can afford to keep her maintained and sheltered. She will be sitting alongside Renault turbos and alike . Basically the sales of the car purchased my new audi and a little change in the back pocket - everyone is a winner. Video of her been collected. https://www.facebook.com/john.luke.589583/videos/839195740381250

Thanks Cressa - you may not mate as he reckons it’s an enclosed trailer .

Bit of an update. G60 has been sold and has headed up Sheffield way to a collector- getting collected in an enclosed trailer tomorrow he reckons . Logbook changes its officially sold. So Ive finally sorted out my car dilemmas- garage foundations are in with 2 car spots for the VR and mk2. Have purchased this daily- had two of these before absolutely brilliant 3.0 tdi engines in the past but went for the 2.0 tfsi generation 3 block this time- you now if its a gen 3 as it has the oil filler cap on the timing chain cover not the valve cover. Great value only 50 k on the clock and s line - amazing how well it rides on factory 20 s and low profiles with the factory s line suspension - I was expecting terrible harshness but it simply is not. Bloody looks great in red- fantastic fine nappa leather - they simply dont make cars like this now vag its all cheap materials. Over the moon !!!!!! Its the same engine as in a Mk7 golf gti. Spoke to Vince all ready and im very tempted my model is also quattro. STAGE 1 - just a tune look at them bloody gains for £280.00 nippers.
