Little update.
Yesterday I did a job which I have been holding off for a while purely because I knew it would chew up alot of time and the job was delugging and smoothing my ver3-4 manifold in preparation for the new rotated setup.
It literally took ages I also stripped my cusco top mounts and cleaned them up along with tidying up the h-brace and cusco diff brace and got them all etched and primed ready for painting when I decide what colour.

Today I got the engine out along with gearbox which went really well but had to cancel the afternoon's plan as I had to change the clutch/dual mass flywheel on my brother Audi A4 that and fitting some genome sti gauges and new stereo into DaveY's scoob.

All in all I am happy with the weekends progress,now I have the back cracked I can do early morning starts and evening along with weekends to get ready for paint.

spot on ryan, you need to send me some colours over still

 

You going rotated now then Ryan? I thought you were going for a billet TD05 20G?

Or did I miss something over the last week or so?

 

Good work by the way.

 

Cheers Dan,I'll sort out some colours for you bud

Rotated inlet Ty not turbo.
I need some more space at the back by the bulkhead for my oil cooler and new fuel pipe/regulator layout so I'm rotating the inlet manifold

 

Right I see now, front entry inlet to shorten the pipework will look nice, what colour for the manifold?

 

Yeah the look will be a bonus
The manifold is only in high build at the moment mate,needs some more flatting yet,I haven't decided on a colour yet tbho

 

STi crackle red is always a good choice, never fails to look good but depends on what else you've got going on in the bay as well.

 

There lies the problem really,I will be having a LOT going on in the bay

 

Why not match the manifold to the exterior colour or go for a nice high gloss black??

 

Black crackle paint then it is, as I think this would draw your eyes to all the goodies you will have in the engine bay. Plus of course you will really go for pink as you are a complete and utter gayer.

 

this is just for you Ty

 

Score picked up a prodrive diff guard tonight,cheers Steve

 

Result, there seems to be a bit of a prodrive theme going on with your build?? Can't imagine why

 

What ever do you mean Mart
Brembo's being preped as well

 

And this is from me.



Nice find though on the Prodrive diff guard, not easy to find and come up as often as TT's todger (when he can find it) and I hope you had it for a bargain price.

 

You know me Ty I never pay close to the odds for anything

 

Nice one Ryan, looking forward to seeing them refreshed. They won't be to everybody's taste but the colour will work nicely with the other accents I have on the car

 

Ordered myself a Carl Davey reverse alternator kit today,figured if I am going to do it then do it right and lets be fair it looks the bollocks!!

 

Alloy rad? Or you already got one?

 

Yeah got an alloy rad James

 

very impressed it going to look amazing cant wait to see it.

 

Loving the fat look Ryan and Mr chow is a legend lmao!!

 

Cheers mate I love the stance,it looks bullish
Mr chow is quality

 

Got some more dash area flocked parts coming,I have the complete set now

 

Nice one Ryan, good to see you going ahead with it.

 

Cheers Rich,I'm glad I stuck with it as well,it should end up pretty nice I reckon

Just secured some cusco adjustable lateral links and a rare rear chassis support which bolts underneath the anti-roll bar mounts

 

No worries mate, look forward to seeing the results of all this work

 

Thanks Steve,I am too!!

Seeing as the job booked for today from one of our traders came in with what was supposed to be a 'slightly' damaged bonnet and turned out to be fooked so we ordered a new one and James's [winston69] car is under going mechanical work I decided I would finish up the front arches and get the inlet manifold flatted down.

 

All these projects you're doing Ryan, it makes me think I need to start again
