    So a new box arrived today

    It had some things for the golf, like a new AEM filter



    and some hoses to fabricate a new CAI



    Some very cool Polo shirts





    It also had some things for the Audi though

    like my new longer studs which will be needed for the forthcoming spacers



    And this lovely thing







    But that is not all.

    Having removed the muffler from the A4, I did not want to sell it, cause I like it too much. So . . . this happened . . .

    Previous exhaust setup



    Me no likey



    Let's cut it



    Bye Bye



    Hmmmm....



    What if . . .



    Let's cut what gets in the way





    Testing



    Exhaust hanger



    Guess which is the new work and which one the old



    Let's move on.

    I lost no time, and wanted to go a bit wider on the car. I opted for 245.40.18 like I was running on my Audi. For now at least.

    So i took my old R888s and some Vredesteins for the front, and threw them on the car.

    let me guide you with pics

    bye bye 225.40



    Hello wideness







    -yeah yeah, I got this

    Fitment was spot on on the rear



    `And took some . . . love on the front to sit like I wanted it with no rubbing







    Brought them tires home safely - lol



    Car sat pretty much perfectly











    Cheers, more to come

          In other news, the car passed its technical inspection (every 2 years in Greece)

          and here it is, giving a hand in my main project



          Really love how it is starting to take back its old personality from when I had it



          I also started working on the engine bay, have some plans in mind

          Removed this tired OEM insulation



          And cleaned the underbonnet a bit



          Not finished yet, I have more on this coming too

          Finally I ordered this, so as to install my old racing steering wheel, to find my proper driving position again



          Stay tuned.

          Cheers

                Received some goodies today for the daily. I dont want to leave it sad and jealous of the Audi.

                A new box



                had these inside it



                Same like on my Audi



                The other Audi, was a bit jealous





                Nevermind that, its time has not yet arrived, hahaha

                Of course lost no time at all . . .

                Removed the airbag from its clips/tabs



                Then this one - just like old times



                I made two wires, soldered and heat-shrink everything of course, half yellow part from dealership and the other half from the MOMO kit, so as to have a working horn button



                Ready to install



                Done



                At last, I feel like home again.



                Cheers

                      Very rainy day today in Athens, however managed to do some work on the daily.

                      Some time ago, I had purchased:

                      -AEM Dry Flow Filter
                      -034 Motorsport hoses
                      -Alu pipes and bends
                      -Clamps,



                      so pretty much everything I needed to make a new fresh CAI for the daily GT.

                      Welded



                      Installed this, for the bracket support



                      So here it was ready, and installed in place, with the nice supporting bracket









                      Time to make it match my style and taste

                      ETCH Primered



                      Finished in subtle Satin Black



                      Black Silicone Hose, and clamps in place



                      And with the help of some DEI, to reflect some heat from the Turbo . . .

                      Almost ready



                      Came out clean



                      Some more things to do in the bay, but going really well for the daily



                      Cheers guys

                            Hello there.

                            Thought I'd show you some work done on the instrument clusters of two of my cars.

                            One is from the MKV Golf, and the other of the Audi. Does not matter, I am sure it can be applied almost everywhere.

                            So here are some befores to show what we were up against.

                            Golf first







                            Pretty nice eh ?

                            So, lost no time and attacked it with a menzerna pf2500 with a combination of polishing pads on the rotary



                            50:50 attempt on first pass



                            getting there



                            After the correction, SV Autobahn was chosen to finish if off



                            Applied by hand





                            Left to cure



                            Audi cluster time

                            Before



                            yiiikes





                            Masked



                            And let's attack this one as well





                            Fun time





                            Curing time with its friend



                            Lets see what we did



                            Hm looks good . . . let's take it out in the sun







                            And for better comparison:

                            Before



                            After



                            Before



                            After



                            Let's see the Audi cluster as well

                            Before



                            After



                            Needless to say I was very happy with the results.

                            Hope you liked it too.

                            Cheers guys

                              So, it has been some time since I last drove my daily, due to the fact that I was away from home for the Audi RS4 project.

                              So I had to give some love to my favorite daily.

                              Fresh stuff and fluids





                              Mmmm nice tires there



                              And then, after that was done. I thought is was time for a gift

                              Remember this ?



                              Yeah, me no likey either

                              So time for a new set of tails. And why not upgrade at the same time eh ?

                              Brand new OEM .:R32 tails



                              50:50 on one side



                              I really enjoy this mod like the first time I had installed them back in the past



                              50:50



                              Subtle and nice



                              Other side done too





                              Finally





                              Cheers
