Retro run I'm guessing ?

down pipe is going to catch on everything. I should have had it shortened before, but i didnt expect it to be so bad. CBA with taking it off now as it means all arb n shit has to come off too.

Hate to say i told you so :lol: Least it runs mate, well done :-)

Id like to go with the retro run lot, however i wouldnt mind going another time.

Wanna stay in a hotel rather than camp i think, hotel or like a apartment kinda thing, or holiday home even, theres all sorts of shit over there, mos have garages etc.

And lol ben, yeah.. ahhwell. Too late to sort now. Will be a job i give to a garage to do, cba taking it apart myself. Starting to hate working on it.

100% game for that toby. Doubt it would be in my coupe though :-(

Just ebay VW egr blank.

Mine, the holes were about 1mm off, so had to drill um a bit wider, but went on after that.

Done a little bit today. Picked up some random trim bits from VW and fitted, side carpets are now secured in the boot :)

Found a puddle under my drivers seat, fuck knows where its come from. Never leaked before. battery tray is mint, sunroof drains dont seem blocked, door seals seem ok.. fuck knows :?

Anyway, did a bit more stereo wiring today, finish that tomorrow and all wiring is done i think, besides fogs. Can do that tomorrow though too, weather dependant

Fitted my leather wheel, gearknob and gear gaiter, well pleased with how its looking inside atm :)

Weather stopped a lot though, been pissing it down for most the day :(

Is it running ok then mate

not had chance to tell really. Still not filled it with coolant. Will get that done soon, need someone in the know to help me with timing, because no matter how yarris tries to explain it to me, i don't understand it :lol:

So want to fill wth coolant, then whilst bleeding the system ill set the timing. least time possible of it running shit then :)

Sure the water isn't where you pissed your pants with excitement when it fired up? :)

Well when are you free? Just put 145's in and play ignorant like everyone else does with an AFH lol

Working sunday mate.

Only just managed to blag saturday off tbf

All stereo is in and done now, was blasting bare bass earlier lmao!

But seriously, with the door pods alone it sounds so much better, then when i connected sub up, fucking winning!

Its nothing amazing, its all cheap stuff and i need to mess with settings more on amp and headunit, but I'm buzzing about it lol! Always got hacked off with shit dash speakers in polos, so this is a massive improvement!

Good work!

Wish i lived closer, would come and help with the carbs etc!

Exhaust fitted!!

Hangs low though, but wont go any higher without knocking, shame really.

For practicality, I'm going to have to raise the car, due to several problems not just the exhaust.

Anyway, pictures;

And how we hung it;

Hangers for a 6N

Used just 1 originally, but when we lowered it down it moved off center from the cutout so bolted another on, fits perfectly now and has less wobble due to using 2 hangers :)

Sounds pretty awesome too, quite deep.

Where's it sit low mate?

Good progress man, 6n hangers FTW

The entirety does max tbf. its 2.5", fat pipe to get into a small tunnel.

Lowest part is the bend under the rear beam, but the downpipe is pure low aswell.

Having to make like scrape guards for the joint on the downpipe, as its a flat edge, will just rag the exhaust off if it catches anything, which it certainly will lol.

But yeah, I'm happy with it anyway, and doing it myself has saved a fortune... Only need it to last a touch over a year anyway ;) When the G goes in, it will have a full custom system made.

Getting so close now :D

RR at Steve Walford booked for 11th, MOT on the 5th hopefully, or if not, before the 11th.

Doing it yourself?? :disgust:

  • Author

haha, you know what i mean!

Unless you class yourself as a garage?

Ah right, 2.5" is massive for a 1.4 of this spec dude, cheap though so it doesn't matter.

Good work!

For practicality, I'm going to have to raise the car, due to several problems not just the exhaust.

Oh oh, the excuses have started ay toby ;) hehe.

Like the looks of the exhaust mate, need to get mine booked in for a new exhaust, 2" isent upto much anymore, sounds nice though.

Get a video up of it running with the zorst on then Tubs
