ian_GTI 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Finished fitting the engine mounts today (wow what a pain in the ass they are)Fitted the oil pressure gauge & boost gauge (forgot to take a pic)Also fitted the new oil cooler, header tank, crack pipe, thermostat and housingAlso did a full service all gen parts and gearbox oilAnd also used a polo drain bolt as the vr6 one got damaged on a speed bump so a flush fitted one should stop that happening again Link to post Share on other sites

ukstacks 1 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 hi lovely car mate (would look even better in black, looking nice and shiny in the last pic ). Just a quick question about boost gauges. Your ones are obviously connected but the ones for sale that just clip on the air vent do they actually do anything? or are they purely for show? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
ian_GTI 0 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've had 4 black cars mate so I wanted a change, I don't know about about clip on gauges mate as they are there for a purpus not for show or looks Link to post Share on other sites
