Glad someone thinks so! Might be in the car in a month or 2. Need to get some stuff sorted before it goes in.


Well...a few more photos of how it looks now, all murdered out! Probably last update for a bit, playing the waiting game now!

cool think ive seen your red wheels on a mk4 have you sold them

yes the wheels went to a mk4 golf over on edition.

what paint are you using dan? i need to paint my engine and ancillaries whilst its all out.

wish i had a nice flat drive to work on a car, its been absolute murder getting an engine out in a single garage with a sloped driveway without an engine hoist

Yea, on a silver golf somewhere, nowhere local though.

I used halfords high temp engine paint, satin black, worked really well, better than i thought! Haha..that does sound like fun. Ill be trying to get an engine hoist from somewhere, but a small one that i can get into my car and bring home!

What you doing with your engine?

hi dan i got a foldaway 1 you can lend its a 1 ton hoist

well i bought an audi 3.2 v6 engine to put in it, but decided to rebuild the VR for summer and then think about doing the engine conversion over winter. really hate driving around in my daily, its soo slow and i really want my car done for summer time.

so whos is that hoist in the pic on the other page?

Really! Cool, that would be ideal. How much do you want for a week or
2, maybe 3, depends what im doing with the engine bay paint!

Nice! That would go pretty well! Sound good too. Whats your daily?

I stole that one from work! Picked the engine up from leeds in a van, didnt really think about how to get it out. Got home, then decided to go to work and steal it for an hour, problem is its a massive 3 ton rated thing, which will only fit in a van, which i dont have no more lol..

So...been getting some work done slowly...like one part a day....lets not rush this eh!

How it looks now....hopefully ill be putting it in within the next month...that the 'plan' anyway! If things turn up in that time that is!







Anyone after standard 1.8T bits? lol!

Like the dark look you
have got going on much better

Like the look of the dark coloured engine too

mmm, coming together nicely dan, looks like its gonna be in pretty sharpish

Dan... what 'standard' 1.8T bits you got left over now then...?

Engine looks great.

looking good dan! so what sort of power will it be pushing out when you're all done?

Thanks people!

Engine looks great.

I have K03 turbo, manifold, some random brackets, coolant hoses, turbo hoses, injectors, vacuum hoses, airbox and probably a few other little bits.

Thanks! Im aiming for 300hp and that'll do me i think! I dont think my car would know what to do with any more haha! Or myself!

looks nice, got some inspiration myself

is this in now dan

Very cool Dan!

Ohh yea its in now Havnt updated this for a while. A few late nights and a couple of little problems, but nothing too bad. Just a few more little things to sort out on it like a remap, 440cc injectors, put the 6 speed box in, and slight colour scheme change and a bit of decluttering and it'll be how i want it.





Winter mode now though...new wheels are getting painted...for next year hopefully...



Thanks

The bay looks awesome. Nice one! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh when it's complete.
