Noticed you made solid mounts for yours and for another local lad, dont suppose you fancy making another set? My Rado's mounts are getting a bit tired....And if there's a spare seat when she's back on the road id love to get a ride in this, give me some idea of what the rado be like when she's sorted!oh, and im organising a RR day for me and some mates 7th aug at RE.Worx, £30 if you fancy it?

legvw 0 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Anyways.... fitted me manifold after fitting my original brake servo and master cylinder, because the mk4 r32 got in the way of the extra wastegate!Oh and fitted a new genuine clutch master cylinder because the other one made the clutch line foul the wastegate.All in the carpark, don't you love it? :-)Justr waiting for my rebuild kit to try up for my turbo, then she'll be boosting again!! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
