First some more B&W love











Some new orders . . .





And this is for Tom's red 2.0T FSi GTI mkV PTE5857 Turbo



This is for my Aeromotive FPR, since we have some suspicions that it needs it . . .



And also fixed my new rear brakes oxidation symptoms . . .

From this



To this . . .



More updates to come . . .

[mgpdoc]

Getting ready for new Fuel Lines all around . . . May I say BIG Fuel Lines as well . . . .







Updates on fueling system . . .

Before :



Components :





Do werk, and gas transfusions for the win . . . .





A lot of work under the car



Removed pile of junk, along with the EVAP canister which was forgotten in the passenger's side wheel arch . . . LoL





Afters :







We also installed with Tomas bigger AVC-R Vacuum Lines.

Some better shots of the bay . . . thanks to my friend Kostas Sant

LoL

Cheers guys

Well it has been a good 2 day of work with Tom at his garage . . . I will let the pics mostly do the talking, crappy iphone pics for now, will do . . .

Engine was ready . . .



Test fitting the bells . . .



Rotors came after A MONTH of waiting . . .







Making a new Oil Return Line, this time NOT passing through the exhaust manifold . . .





Old VS New







And some random pics I liked









Cheers . . .

PS : Car is running GREAT on the new injectors . . . more on that later . . .

[mgpdoc]

Some pics to show some progress of the past days, which has been mostly buying parts for maintenance, but not just that . . . Have a look . . .











Polished the dump tube a bit . . .





Brake Status : Not Running





Added a spring in my Tial, for more boost . . .





Parts coming from Ringer Racing,



My Black one, 034 Fuel Rail instead of the common polished one



Bells being refurbished . . .






Then today, this box appeared inside my Golf . . .



Hmmm . . .



Win, S4 Door Blades

Here are some pics compared to the stock simple ones





And as you already have thought, I couldnt stand not fitting them on the car, even though it was inside the garage









Such a subtle, yet tasteful little change, I loved it

[mgpdoc]

New orders

This:





Along with these:



More essential orders, sadly, setting us back quite a lot of cash. . .





330x32 Floating Rotors / Bells, Ferodo DS2500 Racing Pads

[mgpdoc]

Updates:

Everything connected, wires and hoses still to be put neattly hiidden on the underbody, safe and all . . . .

time to remove the OEM fuel tank. Boy, what a project . . . exhaust, quattro, rear subframe, handbrake cables, etc etc . . . onto the pics..

Starting...



Exhaust off the car...



Tom stealing my Torsen while I caught him red-handed





More things off



Time to remove the subframe, cause the tank wouldnt come off in any other way . . .

After some work, voila . . .







Look what came off, after that.







Leaving my car empty from the underside (and very very light in the back, if you think what has been removed so far so my friends were sitting in the back of the car, LoL ) . check it out.





So, I just came back from a ride, in the national road to make some pulls on 4th gear . . . Weather was about 15-20oC cold (60-70o F) so it was a good chance.

I have some good and some bad news . . .

The bad news . . .

870cc injectors, 3bar static in the FPR, 044 inline pump, and there are fuel cuts in the 4th gear after 6500rpm in everything above 30psi of boost.

I certainly didnt expect that to happen in that boost. Well not certainly, lets say I hoped . . .

The good news is ,that the car makes some serious power, otherwise, this wouldnt happen.

Tom said, that we could lower the FPR to 2,5bar static, but then, the idle would have some serious issues .

My thoughts now are these. I possibly need bigger lines, a second 044 pump and a new fuel rail . . . .

Oh boy, does it ever end . . . .?

Some more pics of the OEM tank removal procedure, I forgot from the last post.

Tidy



Empty-ness beneath rear passengers' compartment ( i might make it flat bottom in the future )



Washing OEM Fuel Tank



Ready to hit the road . . .

[mgpdoc]

Pics of installation



Test fitting



Welding







Initially I thought of putting the stripes like that, but it wasnt correct.



So we welded some hinges, and went this way . . .



Safe, no movement



Everything inside will be colourcoded and painted nicely, I will show you the finished results . . .

Clean, Polished, Painted the Fabricated parts









Not much left to do now . . .

[mgpdoc]

Started to put some time on the new fueling system . . . Didnt have much free time, so it would get there slowly, even though I did have every thing, needed . . .









more progress . . .

[mgpdoc]

My new stuff, mixed with some stuff from my friend's oncoming 5cylinder PTE 5857 Ford Focus ST project









I see.

Some maintenance issues, aaah it sucks . . . it sets me back every now and then . . .

So . . .

Out with the old . . .



New stuff from Zimmerman . . .









Yeah I know, they are small, LoL . . .

And two of these tie downs, to install the Fuel Cell . . . .

[/B]

And two small videos to hear how it sounded back then

[mgpdoc]

More orders . . . .

Racing Fuel Cell


Bigger Fuel Pump


New Bigger Fuel Filter

[mgpdoc]

So . . . .

Looking at those . . . you see a weak remaining linkage. . . expensive, comfortable, yeah for sure, but does not suit this car . . .





Correct, seat is on the way to exit my car, once more, like two years before . . . This time though, for a set of RECAROs . . .



So I chose

2x RECARO Profi SPG XL Plus + 2x Set of RECARO Aluminium Side Mounts + 2x Custom Seat Frames





Onto the mounting and meauring of the frames . . .







First Seat to go in the car . . .





And then the other . . .









A big thanks to Kostas Sant for the photos, and for the help in mounting the seats ;-)

I hope you guys liked it , hehe

Cheers

Mike

Just a quick pass to give an idea from outside. . .

And a teaser photo of the next photoshoot we did to capture the car's new mods. . .



More to come guys

[mgpdoc]

Ok time, for a proper build update.

Firstly some updates on the VC project i had shown before . . .

Started as a bit of a mess



But I made it turn out good . . .

Halfway



Almost Cleaned



Then took the tools to cut out some unnecessary little metal parts and make it smooth and pretty





Primered it with 1K aluminium Primer



And then started to put the colour on it . . .



Ready for installation



Close up of the crankcase breather



Bought some hose



Test fitted it



And then ready, installed, breathing to air




On another note, ordered these goodies from Ringer Racing



And this from TiAL,



To increase some boost, as this isnt enough on the 6262, L O L



Hehe . . .


DO you remember the Dash I was working on, for days, and had left at the shop for a retrim in alcantara. . . ?

Guess what, it is ready . . .

Voila . . .











NeedLess to say, that crappy iphone pics dont do it justice, it is AWESOME in person . . . a proper photoshoot will follow, I promise


Then I lost no time, and installed it myself . . .







Doesnt look that bad . . . hmmm. oh well, since I have it ready, I might as well put it on, I thought . . .









Again, proper pics will follow very soon, I promise . . . really worth the cost, even though, NOT cheap . . .


Some more good news , is we ran a compression test, all 4 cylinders are the same, at 155psi, awesome engine build work by Tom, @ Tom's Garage

Hope you liked it
