michael5556 247 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Took it out for a bit more testing tonight, ran like a bag of crap. It's got a vacuum leak somewhere, tomorrows job to find out where. It's all progress though. It's becoming much more reliable, which I'm happy about. Steering is all fixed, no more tyre scraping. More updates tomorrow. Maybe a video too Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Video for you!http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j438/michael5556/96B82201-8FD7-4A1B-9FCA-6108D12AF41B-3032-0000026BD090D012.mp4Not had to much time but done a little. Picked these up from Mugly. Here is the centre console. Has the innovate wideband mtx, boost guage and oil pressure guage. The two switches on the gear surround are for the slimline fans. So I can put one on for normal driving and the second for when it's gets warmer. In winter mode. Arches are getting rolled this week. Summer wheels have been sent off for refurbing. Also bought some 90 spec arches and Gti side trims which will be going on after the arch work. Front intercooler shotHere is a pic of the bay at the minute. Hidden turbo vacuum lines and brake servo vacuum line. Fuel pressure regulator is stuck shut so I will be getting a new one and moving it too a better location with an inline guage. Here is a shot of the mk1 engine I have been doing. Thanks. Comments welcome. Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 With the mk1 basically finished, I decided to crack on with the mk2. My adjustable fpr had stuck shut so had to come up with plan b. got this beauty. This is how the new fuel set up stands. Complete with a glycerine filled inline guage.Got a moroso inline filler neck. Going in the top radiator hose.Large rev counter with shift light and a volt guage. Cleaned up the exhaust heat shield.Moving some things about. Snow foam!That's all for now.

VIW28 29 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah we're working on that...it is an 8hour crossing and the most expensive if you go overnight as you'll need a cabin. For Ultimate Dubs we are going Dublin - Holyhead on Saturday morning then home Liverpool - Belfast on Sunday night. That's costing us £277 for car, two passengers and includes a 4 berth cabin.
