VIW28 29 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Did you not have your gearbox adapter mount modified to bolt to the end of the casing? I thought I read somewhere that you had welded a piece onto the original UM mount so it was actually bolted with 4 bolts? Been wondering if this is a strong enough setup myself....considered a mount on the chassis leg like the mk4 one but maybe dogbone mount plus adapter mount would be ok...

MaidenVR6 26 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Mistake I did was that the mk3 gearmount was welded a little to low. So both engine and gearbox was hanging a little low on the gearbox side. The 02M mount did not like that... And yes I did weld a extra strength flat steel on the 02M mount.

VIW28 29 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 So in which way should you have raised it then? By means of welding it further to the left of the subframe or by means of a filler piece etween mounting cup and subframe? Just curious as I don't want to Mae same mistake.

MaidenVR6 26 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Higher up on the subframe.Mount up engine/gearbox with the 02M mount. Get the engine lined up water straight. Fit the subframe mount perfect and make some welds.Remove engine/gearbox and weld mount to subframe. Then, in again with engine/gearbox and ceck that its all 100 % fit.

bungy 2 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I am very interested in your 044 catch tank. Does that hold fuel from the lift pump in reservoir to ensure no cavitation to the Bosch fuel pump? Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yes, its 1,5liter. 044 will always be in fuel AND I really hope it will shut up for awhile. It has been screaming like crazy since 2007 . Hope this will work. Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Where did you get that box from for the 044? Mines extremely noisy as I have no sound proofing in my car. That gearbox looks very clean Link to post Share on other sites

Looks ass, but it works very good:Not my car, but got a set off ABT sideskirts in the mail today. The oem skirts are shit, and Ive been driving around last 2 years with 1.5 sideskirt Federal RSR street slics 215/40-17". They are in the same league as R888s, but alot cheaper.
