I had to do some washing on the weekend too!! Obviously just the essentials  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

stephen_295:
The cars NCT is due at the end of May so I thought I'd get ahead and get it done asap.
Had the car serviced today
-Oils
-Oil Filter
-Front Pads
-New Tyres
-Spark Plugs
-New Exhaust bushings
-New front Discs fitted.

Car's driving perfect now.
Really like how the R32 front brake setup is looking with the drilled and grooved discs.

Once the car passes the NCT I'll be looking to fit an aftermarket HPFP and have the car mapped again. If anyone know's somebody selling once let me know!

Recently I've been looking to see if there is much that can be done to tidy up the engine bay of the golf.
I was going to modify the engine cover so it would fit with my air intake but thought I'd try something a little bit different.
First I gave the bay a bit of a clean with some de-greaser. It's not gleaming but it's a bit of an improvement.

Before:


After:


I also ordered some Gold Heat reflective tape like this..



I may wrap the intake pipe or whatever it will suit come the time of application. Ordered form China so hoping to have it before Christmas haha..

I found someone selling the following for a very good price on the TFSI tuning FB page after being recommended by a member here to check it out!
- R8 Coil Pack
- Red Coil Pack Harness
- Porsche 911 Coolant Cap
- Porsche 911 Oil Cap
- Black Washer Fluid Cap



They should be here in the next day or two. I'll treat the bay to some dressing and then add the new bits.

stephen_295:
So a few of my ordered bits arrived today..
R8 Coilpacks, Red Coilpack Harness, Porsche Oil & Cooland Cap, Black Windscreen Washer Cap.
I fitted everything except the Oil cap. Does anyone know if its possible to remove the Long Stalk that comes from the Rocker Cover for the oil? I want to have the Oil cap flush with the rest of the cover?

Anyway, after fitting the few bits I gave the bay a good going over to bring up the black notes.





I'm very happy with how it turned out and the way the car is coming along. It's been quite a long time since I've put so much into a project.
Looking forward to wrapping my intake pipe in the Gold Heat reflective tape when it arrives.
I also plan on sourcing another Rocker cover to get powder coated. If anyone has one please drop me a PM.
PCV Delete and Oil Catch Can along with some new colored hosing is on the list for the near future too.

RBS:
