looks fine
Got a lot done on this over the past few weeks.
Got the GT Gearbox, N1 Flywheel and Clutch in everything went smoothly during fitting, found some fairly shocking things whilst doing the swap but its all together nicely now, only issue is the clutch is slipping
So have had to buy a new one, picked one up for fairly cheap off ebay though its a little different to any other I have seen...
MDF Clutch
Few pictures from the last few weeks
Old XTD Clutch out
N1 Flywheel in
Bearing in all cleaned, new clips and greased
Box in
Bought an SAFC to allow me to fit a GTi Maf, so have one of them fitted now with a VZR intake pipe and a catch can setup.
Painted up a few bits in the engine bay too, and gave it a real good clean.
Have put on a full 2.5" exhaust now as well SSAC Manifold and a CP Cat Back.
Painted up the backbox to stealth it up a bit
Further maintenance has included fitting a GTi dizzy as the rotor arm burnt out on the standard one.
Have fiddled a bit more with the coilovers, lowered it a bit all round, may drop the front a little more.
Next step is a visit to Greg (Protuner) to have him setup the SAFC then car is then complete as far as anything will really go.
Will need a new windscreen though as a big chip has finally cracked.
I did pick up a set of Compotives off ebay but didnt really like them
So straight swapped them for a set of BMW BBS that I have sold on, so back where I started
And spent the beginning of this week driving round Pembrokeshire so a couple quick snaps from the site
I do have a couple more little bits and pieces to go on, and would really like to get the skirts back on but one is damaged and I only have 2 out of the 10 plastic clips required to hold them on...

Mmm my favourite
Yesterday I fitted this, to move the oil filter down using the VE filter block, it required removing the PS pump and bracket, so I fitted a PS pump from the VE in the Garage.
The oil pressure switch on the DE block had been leaking for a while, as had the PS pump connections.
The car is still a bit of a monster, nothing on what it was before but its still fast, Scooby baiting is quite the sport.
The car needs a new wheel bearing, Ive known it has since fitting the hubs I got to remove the FTO front brakes, and the outer CV on the passo side is knocking, but I should be able to rectify this with a gearbox I should get soon.
The rear passo calliper is sticking every now and again too.
