Tfsi Mikes Money Pit :: AKS built Cupra :: TTE420 :: Rtech Tuned
Orc:
Hey Mike,
Why the upgrade just for reliability?
Tfsi_Mike:
How do you mean @Orc ?
Replacement rings turned up, pistons re-fitted. Balance shaft delete has been done on the oil pump, which hopefully will improve reliability.
Head had to go back to machine shop to have valve seats cut as the valves couldn't be lapped in due to wear / pitting. Im fuxxing baffled as to how the engine is in such a state after the maintenance regime it's had.
Not sure if the injectors are back from inspection / cleaning yet.
Gonna try and flog the trackway I had booked end of March as chances are the car won't be running in time. Never really felt more like more like selling up.
What would a 420hp, freshly rebuild motor with a sorted chassis go for?
rich83:
Well if you are thinking of selling up dont put the tte420 on it. Waste of time.
I wanna get rid too... want a barge to waft along it.
Tfsi_Mike:
I'm hoping when it's finished it's so good I love it. 1st drama that occurs I'll probably want to torch it
rich83:
Yeah I keep hoping that with mine too... and it still pisses me off. Just annoys me more that anything these days.
