well paudie,
Cant wait to see this going, how is she coming along?

 

[ConorMc]

your actually not happy unless your building something are you! good luck with it, we all eagerly await your updates

 

[daveslp]

Nice one Paudie, Best of luck.

Did the turbos come with the car?

 

[PaudieG60]

Cheers for the comments lads,to answer a few questions......

Yea Sam it was the engine that was ment for the rado. The shell needed a respray + vrt and no way would i spend that on a shell!!

I only bought the shell Dave so Adam has the wheels {up for sale at the moment} but i have my own set of turbos that might end up on this!?

Havent done much on her in the last week Drew,have the shed fully cleared up and all the shit cleared out so have more space now and a work bench again for doing big jobs

Oh and finished off the rotisserie for it last night and cleared out the engine bay as best i could without unbolting stuff.

Yea Con,i love having stuff to do but give if a few months and we'll see how enthusiastic i am about it

Clio alt died today

On the upside i'll be driving the other mk2 for a few days and should have tax on it by friday

jesus i mist driving it!

 

[daveslp]

Yeah turbos are fairly nice, dish is always great.
What power level are you expecting? 8v G60s are largely at thier limit at 200ish...will the extra valves take it to 230?

To be honest ive no idea what shes at,at a guess ide say 220-230 but thats a pure guess.

The only limit to an 8v is how much money your willing to spend on it,me being poor its not a good thing

 

[daveslp]

Ill race ya in my ko3s mk2 when its done!

should be similar. (struggling to get it done for dubshed...im far too fussy...painfully fussy)
Will you have something ready for dubshed?

 

[PaudieG60]

I dont race

Nothing wrong with being fussy!! Might aswell do it right now instead of re-doing it down the line!

I have the other mk2 if i was to head up but i dont think i could afford the trip to be honest

 

[PaudieG60]

Got abit done yesterday,

rust free

tardis in action

finally went at the engine,

Wont be stripping much more from the engine at the moment, just want to get her onto the engine stand and sort out the mounting for the alternator and power steering pump.
I've borrowed a vr6 alternator from Greg so going to be messing round with mounting that and sorting the belt route for the next while.

Made up a timber rotisserie aswell that the car will be going up onto shortly

 

[ventojetta]
