Looking very sweet!! could look at that all day! Good finish on the cross member, what spray did you use?

Keep up the great work dude!!!! Looking forward to seeing the turbo bolted on! How the MS installation going?

Very sad to see mate. :cry: Most cars would have been alot worse off - the C has some serious reinforcing in the arse end - Think this is testiment to its build Quaility.

excellent cheers!

Talking of GSF and braided lines - does anyone know what brand GSF sell? is it defo Goodridge?

:shock: Sweet mama Jebus!! :lol: You have been busy man!!! Looking spot on

Damn! that looks far too shiney!!! :lol:

Looking awsome! Must be very exciting beong this close!! You mentioned that you were going to run digi1? don't suppose you are going to do a guide on how wire to the valvers loom as well? LOL :D

Hey dude, What about the metal gaskets advertised on german ebay? sandwiched between two gaskets??? The 2.0 has a higher comp ration compared to the 1.8? think these thicker metal spacers cater for that? Just wondered if anyone had used them: http://cgi.ebay.de/VW-G60-16V-2l-Verdic ... dZViewItem 40 euros?

You not building yours now then? As for the oil temp sensor location isn't that at the back of the block on the right hand side, just below the head? Think it is actually on the back of the head, side nearest to the gearbox, you can see sensor/wires sticking out

LOL :lol: I am evetually looking to turbo charge and wanted arround 220+ (nothing mental!) Cost is an issue, also I have good access to S2 parts. You can pick up S2 manifold, wastage, K24 turbo, downpipe etc for peanuts as there are so many S2 being broken. I understabd what you are saying about furture proofing and the effciency of newer turbos, but won't this add a significant cost? especiall if you want to past the 300bhp barrier .e.g. forged pistons etc?

For a mildy boosted application the K24 turbo should be ok, shouldnt they?

Nice interior turbomagikz!!!!!

Hey dude! Try the back of the head! where the oil temp sensor for the MFA goes. Nice and close to the turbo too!

Think I would cry if I came back and found my car like this! Shame when somone puts in hardwork and effort and scum just wreck it.

Once you take your old one off your engine will be noisy as fook! I had to change bonnets, I kept my old lining problem is finding something that will stick it back down, going to have a look at a few adhesives next week in bedford. Anyway, I looked at alternatives, one way would be to use lining off another vehicle, then cut to shape and secure into the bonnet support rails - this option would be cheap as well. Dunno if any of this helps though - LOL! Everything else just seemed expensive!

Visually you can't tell, you can rev the engine and see how far back the engine moves. Watch to see if it lift of the front mount. I only saw how bad mine was after it was removed, it was in 2 pieces (not good). It is probably the cheapest option and worth replacing as it is a known weakspot. To change the mount you need axle stands, trolley jack, good socket set. Plus you need to be confident what you are doing. If not it is not a massive job and should take any mechanic no more than 30 mins

Did you make any adjustment to brake reg after lowering?

Really looking forward to seeing this interior! Goes to show nothing is impossible!

Cheers, hoping to get a bit done on it this weekend.

Thats not fair its too shiny!!!!! LOL :lol: awsome look dude!

nice fotos, awsome car! engine bay looks spiffing!!!

Firstly welcome - always great to see another valver on the forum! I had a similar prob with mine, turned out it was the front engine mount, it had completely split. Replaced with one form GSF, difference in gearchange was unbeilveable afterwards! Plus it was a DIY job!

Pics are misleading, if there was that much movement car would drive like a bowl of jelly on wheels. I am sure there are various dimensions in which the suspension move. Poly bushes do allow for movement (obviously not as much as OEM). Furtehrmore, poly bushes have been used for donkeys of years, can remember me older bro having them on his cossie back in the day. Never had any probs what so ever with them.

Morning Dude! Cheers for the bits, should be able to crack on now! Great to meet you, learned so much info through our brief chat - next time I will leave the missus at home :lol:
