Couple of new bits fitted. Few pics.

[PaulJC84]

I eventually got all my new discs and pads.

Also fitted my fmic. Ran into a problem as I have moved my DV but sorted it.

Here is the section on the bumper I had to cut.

All done.

Cant see it that much which is what I wanted. Would have rathered it be black but I am not that bothered.

I am also holding 2psi more now and can hear the turbo a little more. I dunno if this should be the case or what??

 

[Randomjim]

Stealthy! looking good mate.

 

[Markey]

Looking good mate which FMIC did you choose in the end ? It looks like a good one.

 

[docurley]

Very nice but gaining 2 psi don't think thats right I can only think you had a leek all this time and the new FMIC got passed the leek.

 

[docurley]

Ahh just seen the script on the blue pipes it must be a Autobah88 kit nice.

You could really do with an S4 or RS4 style bumper to expose more of the intercooler. It won't be able to work very efficiently with such a small area exposed to the air.

Agreed.

There only looks to be barely a third exposed there.

Stealth is a great thing, but unfortunately in the intercooler world it's tot the BEST ethos for getting the best results

 

[PaulJC84]

Yeah I dont mind if its not working 100% to be honest. I like the standard front bumper and want it to remain stealthy. It seems a lot better than the old side unit as it is.

Its the cheap Autobahn88 kit I bought. Good kit apart fron had to redrill the brackets, so no big problems.

 

[dappadan786]

looking good mate, im liking it!

im itchin to get mines on! but i dont wanto to keep taking the bumper on and off the clips have already broken on the sides!

autobahn88 rocks! gotta love Doc for that discovery! :icon_thumright:

 

[Blue_Thunder]

How about cutting a discreet slot above/behind the reg plate?

Could get a wee bit more air to the top and still keep the Q car look.

 

[Biglockie]

Dude what sze are the discs?????

 

[PaulJC84]

Yeah the cut behing the number plate may be a good idea.

The discs are 312mm.

 

[Biglockie]

Where did you get them fella????

 

[PaulJC84]

I ordered the discs from Venom, took ages though arrive though. I ordered the pads from demon tweeks.

 

[Markey]

I take it you changed the carriers as well ?

 

[PaulJC84]

I changed the carriers a while ago. About 3 years ago I think.

 

[Markey]

Nice one all looking good mate what did you think about the quality of the core on the intercooler ?

 

[Markey]

Can you link me up for the FMIC on ebay please i want to have a look at the pipes

 

[PaulJC84]

Here it is on eBay.

Yeah the core quality is really good. My mate had all the pace coolers on his escort cosworth and he saw mine and thought the core was really high quality.

 

[Glenn A4]

would the fmic fit my car its a p reg 96/97 i know it says its for 97 onwards but your car dosnt look much diffrennt from my car

 

[PaulJC84]

I am sure it would be the same. The guy probably just thought the 1.8T came out in 97.

 

[docurley]

Yes but like Soupes you will have to trim some parts.

 

[Broken Byzan]

I am liking the FMIC, looks good

 

[docurley]

That the cheapest anyone will find them for thats for sure.

 

[fermented]

love the stealthy look, i want it
don't care if it loses like 5% of its maximum airflow to remain looking normal, looks tough and properly engineered.

plus u can always take the front bumper off if you go down the strip...

 

[PaulJC84]

New bit arrived today.

 

[dappadan786]

nice box! is that what you ordered?

dont keep us waiting, what new toy have you got?

 

[Markey]

Come on you can't just give us a pic like that lol

 

[PaulJC84]

Right then guys, here is a pic of what is inside.

 

[docurley]

LOL

 

[dappadan786]

PMSL!

STRIP TEASE! gotta be a first with car parts!

 

[PaulJC84]

Hey folks finally got my 034 manifold fitted.

Was easy to get the old manifold off but hard to get the new one on as its pretty chunky.

It took me about four and a half hours to get it done in the end.

Has made the turbo super loud above 4k revs. The old one must muffle the noise a bit.

Here are pics anyway.

Old on

Old off

Some comparison shots.

Old outlet

New outlet

Got a new clutch on its way as this one has started a slip a bit now. Also coming is a new TIP.

Cheers.

 

[Layerz]

silly questions, but would that fmic work with a tdi set up?

 

[billybravo]

some good work there mate the manifold you got is the same as the one i have on my car but i got mine from THS who imports these from the company who makes them for ATP and 034

i know what you mean about it being a ******

 

[redevo1]

Looking good fella what kind off power you thinking you've got to play with? Some good mods

 

[PaulJC84]

Was RR'd a long time ago with 161bhp at the wheels. (quattro)

Going to need another remap soon.

BillyBravo how did you fully tighten all the bolts on the manifold? I have done mine as tight as I could but could probably do with getting them tighter.

I was thinging of bending the neck of a spanner??

 

[Markey]

Looking good there mate some nice bits going on anything else planned other than the clutch ?

 

[PaulJC84]

Clutch and the tip when they arrive then will probably need a new knock sensor and n75 valve.

Then will ask MRC about injectors and bigger maf and see what they say.

Then it will be remap. That will be all then engine mods for the next year probably.

[PaulJC84]

I finally got my new door trims on and gave the car a wash today.

Here are a couple of sneeky snaps.
