But it all made sense when I said walshy told me to do it a while ago, if in doubt blame walshy and it worked and he didn't expect anything less from you tbh, he also shared his concerns for you, being a gayamon and all that. When are you coming out, i think it's about time your friends knew tbh

saturday

Woke up at 12 and met Jimsiss and his mate at the unit at 1.

sorted out james a megasquirt (an ecu not a shady spunkface in the corner) and then proceed to whip off the exhaust system and inlet manifold off the golf, ready for a 4 branch and magnex stainless steel system that would be arriving with the new mk1 golf.

That was a fucking mission and a half and in the end i ended up making it meet mr angle grinder.

the mk1 golf was collected at 3 =O lazy bastards i thought they were gonna get it at 10 grrrrrrrrr so it came to me at 7.

got the 4 branch on (eventually, one bolt was being a reet can't), inlet manifold unfortunatly when i took it off the inlet manifold gasket was goosed and i had no spare, or any hermatite! ghey, bodged anyway. rest of the exhaust system fitted, the middle section was easy, and all the rubbers went on a treat after some kettle action, but the rear was a idiot as its a golf and its over teh axle! gheyors.

after fucking about for time i just did some rather precarious uber jacking and it was one, hurrah.

good to go then to the gangsters ball hurrah, pack everything up, lock everythign way, put shit in the car, get changed, get in the car, start her up. wont idle and tappety like a mother nice person when revving. grrrrrrrrr beruity inlet manifold gasket =[

my phone battery ran out at like 7 o clock so fitted the 4 branch, inlet manifold, exhaust, anti roll bar was all done in near enough darkness under the car so it took me aaaages grrr, probably why i missed the fact the gasket was so fooked.

so thought fuck it if i cant get to d-towns then I'm not sleeping over night at the unit cos i cant phone anyone for help, so ill try and get back home, hoping i didnt break down on one of the country lanes! finally got in at ten to 1.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastards. one a plus note the exhaust looks the bollocks and sounds sweet.

hope gsfs open tomorrow or i have an inlet manifold gasket in the house.

gayors

sunday

went to the unit and got an inlet manifold off a spare dx engine in the unit, car will idle fine now, but still tapping on idle and acceleration. going to retard? the engine a bit to see if i can stop the pinking (if it is that) otherwise i may have to suspect that the tappets need replacing, or are being starved of oil?

so the impending plans are the following, probably this weekend

new oil pump

new cambelt

new cambelt tensioner

and still need a replacement windscreen (anyone?)

got pictures of the grot spots, sent them to a few friends to see if they can help out asap. if your a mobile welder and fancy a go gimme a shout =]

and piccies of the exhaust fitted. i could have shut the door haha

and the golf meets another kindred

Lookin good mate

Well its been an interesting week to say the least.

Thursday Hoppy came down to the unit and we began to sift through the spares we amassed from the project acquastion. Then come eleven o clock at night after both being throughly shattered, rich was insistant that we sorted out my exhaust manifold, as it was blowing. This turned out to be an epic mission and we were at it till 1 int morning. The cause of my incessant ticking?! an exhaust manifold gasket on the wrong way round, i had fitted it incorrectly when i fitted the 4 branch and exhaust last weekend but considering my phone ran out of battery and i was working with no light, the fact i actually managed to fit a 4 branch and exhaust is a wonder in itself haha =D

We also fitted my lorbers and sorted the fuel guage out, as the car has been sat for some time the float has siezed in position. Sorted with a bit of wd40!

So come friday, the mission was work in the morning, then off to hyde road tyres to have the wheels tracked, and off to an exhaust place to have a c clamp put on the exhaust, one rubber an it alinging properly, after enquiring at hyde road tyres about a decent exhaust place, a mechanic offered to do it for me, and for a tenner he disassembled the exhaust, putteyed all the joins, put 2 new c clamps on and the new rubber. happy days

After that i went over to GSF to pick up some goodies

Gearbox Oil

Gearbox Shift Repair Kit

Timing Belt

Timing Belt Tensioner

Oil Pump

G12 Coolant

Injector Seals

So off to Derby I went, got to the unit to see Karl & Yeti man.

Fitted the Injector Seals & Cleaned up the injectors, should have checked the spray pattern really but ill get round to it when i get some jars to measure the fuel volume to ensure its within specification.

Dropped part of the coolant to top it with G12, i say part of the coolant, because i was too baked and forgot about dropping the thermostate to get rid of the other 3 litres of water hahaha! doh job for another day then, but at least theres some fresh g12 in there anyhoo

and that ensued the days missions to a close.

Saturday we met up with Schneil & Rach to go to the unit and fit a new bootlid on neils GT. I decided it would be a perfect time to fit my missing linkz short shit kit off the deceased muppet along with the gsf shifter rebuild kit. Did the front half rebuild, leaving the gearstick side till the sunday. Didnt manage to get the gearbox oil done as the pikey'd tool for the job got merked under my hands of steel hahaha.

not to worry thats a job for this week, as I've got the proper gearbox drain tool from GSF a while back when i dropped teh oil on beena.

anyway some piccies from the first wash and semi arsed wax after 750 miles of driving. Came up well, better than i thought it would be. There are obivioulsy a few points on attenion rust wise, underneath thte car is remarkably solid, i made a point of poking aroun everywhere when it was up on the ramps, the rear beam mounting points are perfect, the jacking points could do with more underseal as some looks like its chipped off recently and i think the passengers inner sill section requires a small patch. the front valance where the chin splitter fits on the passanger side has rotted under the trailing edge which is also where the bottom 10mm self tapped holds the bottom of the wing in place. should be too difficult a job to replace and teh rest of the front panel is solid.

I'm happy enough with it anyway, its never going to be a show car, and thats not what i want either, i just wanted a sweet daily, and i do love my mk1 gtis.

anyway some piccies

Picked up a new engine off a friend, we both assumed it was a 1.6 GTI EG block, but upon stripping it down, I came across a few concerns. First off, is that it is actually an FP lump, which was a 1.6 Carb engine fitted to 75-77 golfs, so proper early beasts. The Head cannot be used with the GTI injection setup as its for a carb, it has no injector holes.

The main reason I picked up the engine was because my own EG gti head is due a rebuild as the tappets are noisy and I suspect the valve stem seals need replacing as a matter of course. However as I now cannot use the rebuilt head, I will have to purchase another.

That leaves me at a quandry. Does anyone know the Bore stroke and compression ratio of the FP block. Will an EG 1.6 GTI head fit on the 1.6 FP block, and still produce the same power of around 113bhp. If I cannot use the block, can I at least use the pistons in an EG block.

So the rebuilt LS 1.6 head is for sale, and the bottom end complete with brand new pistons may well be if i cannot use it for my own application.

Freshly rebuilt Head

Brand New Pistons, you can still see the part number stamped on the top

Random pic of the car

Taino & Jamesface picked up my new interior for me from cheltenham and me and chazbot embarked on an epic journey on saturday night to collect it from evesham, fuelled by pot, the worlds best fish and chip supper, ridiculous amounts of munchies, mad mooney mobster and some rude tunes, we were set! Got back early sunday morning, had a dope sleep and fitted the interior the next day.
