Figured seens although im on the forum i might aswell share with everyone what im upto! Basically ive had this car for 6 months now and its been a working progress since the beginning. Im going to post up pictures and bits to catch everyone upto the present day, then i can add to this page as time goes on, hopefully So here we go!
Bought it and it looked like this, rough paint, rough wheels, rough engine and so on.
What became immediately apparent was the car was missfiring, so a quick google brought me here and a new loom for the coil packs was ordered...
Problem almost solved..
2.0tfsi coils, problem gone.
So small mod...
****** headlights plague vag cars!
Thats better.
So then i decided i was going to keep this car for a while and i wanted to get it looking a bit better, so wheels and coilovers was next!
A few coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealant later...
So i got some spacers ordered and then fitted it all in a weekend... Which gave me this...
Ideal! So then i moved onto polishing to try and get the paint looking better...
Wish i could keep it looking that clean!
Now somewhere among all this, the car has also had a new steering rack, suspension bushes, 3"dp and a non res Miltek cat back. And assorted silicone hoses in the bay. And other things i cant remember at the minute but i will later!
Future plans from now (22/09/2015) are V4 manifold, hybrid turbo/turbo porting, mapping hopefully at badger5 and then water meth... Sadly no engine build, just cant afford to
