Got any plans for over winter dude?

Hopefully tidy up the interior and maybe a wheel colour change and that's it unfortunately Saving for a house is hampering the car fund but got to have priorities!

 

[danpalmer1993]

Looking good Dan.

Whilst the wheels are off lend them to me! :wub:

If you keep them cleaned and polished you have a deal!

 

[danpalmer1993]

Did you have any issues getting the front to stay down? I think the ARB is stopping mine (it's hacked off on the drivers side), but I think the link still attached on the passenger side is still holding it up a bit.

Drivers side has a homemade notch by the shaft itself from being static, but it needs to be bigger. The problem is is that my turbo is the K04-064 and the charge pipe is literally in the way of the shaft, gonna have to get a new one fabbed up to get it out of the way of my notch.

That should get my front end a bit further down! Looks awesome though dude!

Nope although I have no front arb, the correct sized drivers side notch and the TT wishbone and hub upgrade so they all make extra lows :Y:

I've been thinking about sticking the winters on this coming weekend myself, the frost and salt can't be far away now, not to mention all those extra potholes that pop up everywhere.

Yeah I have been debating it since Westside as there are no more shows this year and the words seem to be getting worse as my miles for work also keep increasing Plus side is that I quite like the look of the winters :Y:

Sell your wheels and keep it on the winters ha ha! Or just get reaaaalllly wide 16's and drive around on your subframe.

Want to put my anni wheels on the TT but know it makes no sense at all with winter coming!

Thats the right thinking Dan!

Car looks oddly good on the winters :lol:

I really need some nice small winters with squishy tyres !

215/35/19's are killing me

 

[northpole]

Go to the scrappy and get some 16 or 15 inch with balloon tyres

They make the car so much comfy to drive! Although they make it feel more boat like again

Makes me miss my original 14 inch steelies!

Not much has been happening recently, as posted above been saving for a house so reduced the spending on the car Finally picked up my Porsche coolant cap and fitted it this weekend to match with the oil cap. Also had to renew my insurance and gone with HIC again, had to work a bit to get it down to where I wanted but great work from their team! :Y: Excuse the filthy bay :lol:

Not much happened over Xmas as I was so busy with all the usual stuff that needs to be done [emoji23] but the car was misbehaving and decided it liked to empty itself of its power steering fluid once a week and make a lovely mess on the roads outside my house. So I had to manage that carefully. Apart from that just been keeping it clean by taking over the shell jetwash and making plans for stage 2 mapping which is now booked! [emoji106]???? so in preparation tonight went to Jamie's and swapped the fuel pumps over and swapped the leaky rack to a quick rack which feels much nicer and finishes off the upgraded front setup! [emoji106]????

 

[doddy666]

Looking good[emoji106]

Did you replace any hoses when you did the rack?

 

[danpalmer1993]

Nope, pretty much everything hose wise got replaced with the engine swap so just did the rack track rod ends all looked good as well so didn't need to replace them

 

[unitzero]

I've had my fair share of leaky steering racks. It sucks ! as well as making a right old mess !

Glad it's sorted though and an upgrade too

Yeah it was very messy and the power steering fluid isn't cheap!

Well done mate

When it's mapped you'll need to take me for a spin

one slice jay will keep the weight of the car down!

Definitely! Won't be a touch on the rocco though!

10 slice Dan will keep it up though :lol:

 

[olethalb]

good work bud, much perfer the slightly weightier feel of the quick rack

Cheers Olly, feels much nicer now with a slightly weightier feel like there is a bit of resistance there
