mk3 gti and an e21

[mk3f.t.w.]

So I installed all new shift linkage. The shifter feels much better. The internals of the trans feel a little worn, but that's another issue.

showing the GTI some love

So my original oil pump for the e21 had 330xxx miles and the pressure relief valve became permanently stuck. The pump I put in has 150xxx miles and the valve is sticky. I finally bit the bullet and bought a new pump.

Picked up some wheels for the e21. I need spacers for the rear, lower the front a lot more, and lower the rear a bit more. Also the tires I'm mounting have a bit taller side wall than the tires that came with the wheels.

[mk3f.t.w.]

So I installed my brand new pump. The other used pump I put in was starting to go bad. The new pump seems to be working just fine. I am havering a tough time finding a mounting adapter for my autometer pressure gauge though, but that will be going in soon so I can keep an eye on things.

And the other thing I noticed is my motor mount arm is broken. Good thing i didn't drive it very far. I had been telling harry for a week or two I noticed the car was more rumbly, and I assumed my trans mount collapsed because i knew it was going bad. my car surprised me haha.



Thankfully the guy on e21legion sent me a new one for free and it's the beefier steel version

Slamburglars fuck yea! The e21 is sickening man

[mk3f.t.w.]

hopefully sickening in a good way haha. although many times i am sickened when all these arts break haha.

[meech]

This thing is so sweet lol i hope its loud and shoots fire from the exhaust one day

[mk3f.t.w.]

you and me both! isnt that all anyone wants? and maybe to be low and do skids would be nice.

[mk3f.t.w.]

So I installed my steel motor mount bracket to replace my cracked aluminum bracket. I also installed a new center support bearing.

Another project I'm working on is upgrading the lights. I believe I have 5 series or 7 series buckets.













The guibo and trans mount were killed from some old trans leaks. I resealed the trans a bit ago but didn't have the funds to replace these until recently. New guibo, IE trans mount, sway bar end link upgrade for the engine damper. Since I have a newer e21 but older steel motor mount arm, I had to do some grinding to get the damper mount and steel motor mount arm to work together
