Have the bolts sheared off?I'm not sure if I'm going to take any bits off it yet. Will have a look at the car next week and see wat happens. Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ibs 308 Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's been a while since I did any updates on the car. Not much has been going on. It's going up to Stealth tomorrow to get mapped. Exactly a year later than it was supposed to because of the issues I had. Feeling very excited right now.

ibs 308 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Well my day at stealth didn't go as planned. Vince tried mapping it but I'm getting a misfire under boost around 4500rpm. Plugs were changed that morning, we also tried a new set of leads and another coil pack which didn't cure the issue. Car is staying there until the new year. Vince is going to have a look at the timing as he reckons that's the next thing to check.

I haven't been on here in a while. Got a bit disheartened after that day. The car is back now. I collected it the second week of January. Vince has turned it into a monster. Its pushing 355hp!! It was mapped without the methanol though as my kit stopped working for some reason. I've got a few more bits to do and then will probably take it back for another tune up. I need a bigger intercooler, relocate my air filter in to the wheel arch as the MAF is to close to the turbo and I have no more room to move it away further unless I move the air filter into the wheel arch area. Oh yes I've also got a slightly bent clutch fork which happened the day after I picked her up . I've got a reinforced one from Epytec so going to get someone to fit it soon.

ibs 308 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Last month or so has been hectic with car stuff and other life stuff. Got a trip to Worthersee planned again this year and trying to get the car ready for it. It's still in winter mode but another set of wheels have been bought and being refurbished at the moment. Also got a smoothed rear boot lid and a standard bumper off ebay. They are being painted at the moment. The biggest purchase last month was the mk3 8v gti I picked up: It's got an air ride system on it which I got a mate to take off and fit on to my car. We got it finished over the weekend but I didn't remember to take any pics. D11PS, Bealieboy, VR6Pete and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 A few more updates on what's been going on with the car. My mate has done all this for me so all credit goes to him. I just don't have the time to do anything myself at the moment. Boot build for the air ride is coming together. Been waiting for some more cloth to turn up so he can retrim the top of the boot build to tie in with the rest of the car.

ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 The air ride setup consists of viair tank and compressor, V2 management & airride systems struts. Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
ibs 308 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 The roof lining was sagging at the rear so it has now been redone in a black faux suede, when it's fitted back in the car black a b c pillars will also be fitted which I bought years ago but never got round to fitting.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The majority of the boot build came out the 8v but my mate had to chop and change because of my amps and methanol kit mounted to the backs of the seats. Also the sub box on the side has just been bought aswell. Going to miss the 15" L7 kicker I used to have in the back. Downsizing to a 8" sub 😕 Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
