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]

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 . . .

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.

[mgpdoc]

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]

Gave the engine bay a quick wipe out to test some detailing products, just some quickies








And on a side note, I bought these today . . .



so . . . I smell more weight reduction, hahaha

---------Then we went for some road tests - closed private road blah blah blah ----------

Car hit almost 2,5 bars of boost without fuel cuts , Tom found the issue which was with the Aeromotive FPR, and just when we started logging . . . look . . .

I will get it fixed tomorrow, and propably find a boost gauge to see more than 35 psi somehow, and some more things . .. stay tuned . . .

[mgpdoc]

So out with the old - Just look at it, for God's shake . . .







In with the new one - Red Loctite in all the nuts of the heavy duty clamps-fingers crossed







Tom also installed the shift light, I have to set it up too . . .

[mgpdoc]

Gave the car a quick wash - and had this video on cold start , LoL

Had some misfiring issues due to ignition being weak at the power lever the car was at . . . So the solution that Tom suggested for that time, and for future plans, for ignition issues solved for good, consists of the following components . .









Along with these . . .







And these . . .



And a brand new set of colder sparkplugs . . .

Let's see if I can pull this one off, because the TFSI ones will be good, but wont stand up to the level I plan on going.

[mgpdoc]

Managed to remove some more weight - about 15kgs (33lbs). So we are looking at somewhere around 2930lbs at the moment. Not bad hey . . .



And also I did order the ignition mentioned , four of these - plus the rest needed . . .





Cheers everyone

[mgpdoc]

Ok - so, first work for 2012, it was time to lower the car a bit more to bring it to sit as it should on its new weight figures . It also had an alignment.

Onto the pics -

Up up it goes . . .



Wheel gap front before -



Wheel gap front after





Moving on to the rear - we had some difficulties in releasing the aluminium thingy that moves the height of the suspension cause it had water stains and corrosion on it from time but nothing a little fire cant deal with . . .



So . . .

rear wheel gap before





rear wheel gap after



And one more of the whole car

before



after

[mgpdoc]

So I received another package - This time the package was for me, and it had my ignition components .



The coilpacks - plugs went in



And then I had a plan to change the appearance of these . . .



To this . . .

[mgpdoc]

Ooops I almost forgot - I ordered this little thingy as well - to add to my engine bay some more -







And what is more - - - -



I guess an .:R32 Throttle Body, wouldnt matter , would it . . .

Ordered .

[mgpdoc]

Something else I did, was totally removing the fuel filler neck, and had to make something to keep the fuel cap flush - here are some quick pics .







Flush



And a random night shot of my car being dirty from rain and mud



And some pics of the interior

Things at the front are civilised, yet lightweight.
At the back though - no need for things - noone sits there after all . . .

Take a look . . .

[mgpdoc]

And a quick teaser of the next photoshoot we did with Kostas again









More pics to come . . I hope you guys like them.
