Dubvrs 2008 GTI restoration and upgrade
RBS:
Some nice work! :happy2:
dubvrs:
Not a lot has happened with the Golf as sorting out the nest step.
DV+ ready to fit.
Waiting for my autotech hpfp internals
Need to do an oil change and put in my Millers 5W 40
More bhp will be doing my stage 2+ map once I get all the above done. Mike has mapped a number of my cars and always had great results.
Hopefully get it mapped by the end of January. Will have to see if it needs a clutch once done.
dubvrs:
Well thanks to a blind old woman my car has sustained a small bit to damage :doh:. She decided to make one lane into two and take out my mirror. Only cosmetic but the carbon cover and smoked indicator are trashed. Was very close to taking out the side of my car.
On a plus note I have all the bits now for my stage 2+. Will get my fuel pump internals and DV+ fitted in the new year.
MPS:
Like the job on the valves. VW have taken a kind of backwards step now and in the process have recognised the problem of direct injection by adding an extra port injector per cylinder to keep the valves clean on their new engines. It'll be on the new 1.5 [yep, you read that right, 1.5] tsi mk 7.5 Golf coming out later this year.

Navara is super practical. I had one when I lived in Australia. 16 years ago!! I really am getting old :ashamed:

Shame the Merc had a reliable auto box that does not come up malfunction warnings every so often. Will be great getting back in a manual.
Went to the body shop this morning after they text me for my paint code yesterday and the barstewardss were closed. They said they were painting them this morning.
Waited for a dry spell and removed my sill trims.
Got the toffee wheel out to remove the remains of the double sided tape.
All done ready for my painted ones to be fitted.
Almost finished the other side before it started pissing it down.
Got my eBay pre painted wings delivered. Paint job is good and looks a close match. Will see how they fit.
Looking at the weather Sunday will be a washout so should be ok on Monday to get some more done.
