ehz660 10 Posted March 19, 2012 Hi guys, Picked up my first raddo last week :) I don't think this is going to be so much a project build thread more sort of a log of things i'm tinkering about with that i can look back on i guess :) I'm currently building a G60 Mk1 Golf (which is more what i would call a build thread) and i kinda fancied a G60 raddo as an insight into the G60 world :) Here's some info..... Body/Wheels -L041 Schwartz Black Paint (has had a respray at some point and shines pretty nicely) -Later bonnet -Shorter front splitter -3 Slat grille -15" VW Sebrings painted anthracite -195/50/15 Toyo Proxes -Lupo wipers Suspension/Brakes -Koni adjustable damping shocks -Eibach 30mm springs -Drilled front 280mm brakes -Mk4 rear calipers -Stock pads all round Engine/Charger -Stg4 Jabbasport charger -68mm pulley -RSR style outlet -SNS anti-lag chip -K&N panel filter -Mocal oil cooler -Vibratechs front engine mount -Stock exhaust -Stock greentop injectors/3.0 bar fpr -Stock Intercooler Interior/ICE -JVC head unit -JBL door speakers -Infinity Kappa's in stealth shelf -Toad AI606 Alarm -Standard grey cloth interior The spoiler still works as it should (up at 45 / down at 5) The sunroof tilts but unfortunately doesn't slide :( (common fault i hear) Future plans: -New 1640 Belt (Goodyear Gatorback) -Decat pipe -Possibly stainless cat back/manifold -300mm OMP Trecento Uno steering wheel -Coilovers (unsure of how much i'm going to spend yet) -UK legal pressed plates -FMIC -ISV re-route kit -Rear wiper deleted -All red/semi smoked rear lamps As for wheels i'm undecided yet :) I'm thinking along the lines of D90's / Schmidt Modern Lines at the moment but i'm undecided :) Pics....... ---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ---------- WP_000608 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000609 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000610 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000611 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000612 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000613 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000614 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000615 by EHZ660, on Flickr Sorry for the really naff pics ...

ehz660 10 Posted March 20, 2012 Cheers mate :) It was owned by someone on the forum from bristol before me. Is It just me? I can't see the original thread? Guess it's because i'm new to the forum with few posts and the post is awaiting approval for the first few? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ehz660 10 Posted March 20, 2012 Haha so it's not just me then .... It took me ages to write all that out too!! So if it's all gone missing i'm not writing it again :( Ordered the 1640 Goodyear Gatorback belt for it last night and one for the mk1 too :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehz660 10 Posted March 25, 2012 Well i parked it in my mates farmyard last night... woke up this morning and the dust had stuck to the car in the fog :( WP_000661 by EHZ660, on Flickr But a nice clean/polish/wax did the job :) WP_000664 by EHZ660, on Flickr WP_000663 by EHZ660, on Flickr Also fitted new Gooryear Gatorback 1640 belt today!! No more bloomin sqeaks!! boosts a little better too now!! The charger is a Jabbasport stg4 charger but was rebuilt to stg4 back in 2006 (then they grind alot more out for a stg4 now!!) But all the rebuilds since have just been standard rebuilds so its only really had a tickle!! Switched over to the secret MFA this morning, warmed her up and took her for a spin. She reads 2020 on the MFA so roughly 14.5 psi (1.0 bar) which i was happy with and now no belt slip in the higher end that i can tell! :) DEFINITELY recommend these....

ehz660 10 Posted April 21, 2012 Cheers guys!! :) ---------- Post added at 9:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:51 PM ---------- Yeah the charger is a stg4 rebuild by Jabbasport in Jan this year! Was really intended for my mk1 G60 project but it'll have to wait The guys up jabba are so good! I'm always on the phone to Brian for advise!! Its just nice that they spend a bit of time to talk to you about what they're gonna be doing... what they recommend... what's tried and tested etc!! :) I'll be popping up for a rebuild on the old one next month i guess! The stg4 jabba charger actually makes a completely different noise to the gwerks one i've just took off! Maybee because its brand new, nice and tight and its got the special coating on i guess! :) Its got more of a deep low down raughty groan rather than a squeak like the old one!! And i like it :) Now i'm just running it in for 500 miles :( Sooo new charger on at 141,079 miles :) WP_000760 by EHZ660, on Flickr Gave her a good service before putting the new charger on.... didn't wanna run naffed oil through the new one :) WP_000763 by EHZ660, on Flickr when swapping them over i lost one of the buggering oil banjo bolts!!! But luckily i had a spare :) WP_000745 by EHZ660, on Flickr so my engine bay now looks like this WP_000761 by EHZ660, on Flickr I couldn't resist painting the rocker cover while it was off :) WP_000749 by EHZ660, on Flickr coilovers, anti roll bar links, wishbones, front hub bearings, ball joints, track rod ends, top mounts and NS outer CV joint renewed :) WP_000750 by EHZ660, on Flickr Happy with the result! Off to sts tomorrow to adjust the camber and tracking!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
