GTI Track Car - Now big turbo, sidewinder.

Progress has been made!
I sent the engine over to a friend to have the inlet valve blasted. I do have more pictures, but you get the idea.
Finally got the bay painted!
First coat laid down.
The finished product, Porsche Crayon Grey with red flake in the lacquer. The flake will only be in the engine bay. Not over the whole car. (Very hard to see the flake in pictures, sort of need to take a picture out of focus.)
Got the KO4 injectors tested by TSR Performance. Came back all good.
Finally got the engine back in the hole last night.
That’s it for now.
The finish is in sight!

Nice! Can see the flake in the pictures but it kinda looks like the paints dirty. Lol But I'm sure it will look better in the light

Sorry it's been a while, again...
Let's try and do this in some order :signLOL:
I bought a very cheap set of Nankang AR1 245/40/18 from Chris McDermott, he'd only done a few laps on an evening session!
Next, I'd bought a new Ramair ProRam filter - Sadly myself and Eddie (who does my fab work) had a little communication error and the filter is on the big side. However, you'll see a little further on that it doesn't loom to bad in the end.
Bought some bits for the pipework that Eddie has done:
K03 to K04 DV loom
Some silicone bends etc.
MAP boss
Small K&N for custom catch can (not yet fabricated)
Here's the finished work by Eddie! Yes, titanium intake :love:
Can also see here my Spal fans, aluminium rad and custom fan shroud.
Some pictures of the Golf on the ramp
After bleeding the clutch and brakes - I drove the car out the unit under it's own power!
Bought some things...
Spray booth for the unit :stupid:
Also bought some cheap cars...
An A3 2.0tdi Quattro (snapped cambelt) I've broken it for parts and going to keep the Quattro set up for the golf for future :evilgrin:
Bought a MK5 GTI DSG with a good spec, needing an engine which I also bought, fit engine, sell for profit.
Also bought a standard Polo GTI 9N3 that I was going to put a new gearbox in and sell on, but ended up giving to younger brother as a track toy :ashamed:
Anyway, back to the Golf - Mapping is booked at TSR for 13th October :grin: before that, I'm hoping to get an alignment and MOT on it! Hopefully, my new Recaro SPG's will be here in time!
Thanks for reading :happy2:

Good to see it starting to be put back together! When you hoping to get it on track again? Next spring? Wouldn't mind seeing this go!
