Remember when my K04'd 1.8t spat a sheared diff pin through the gearbox bell housing. It must have been rattling around in there for a while - taught me that transmission fluid absolutely stinks!!
Car is looking great, and sounds gutsy on that vid! How clean can your car look after a week off, as it looks decent there!

Yeah there's always something with this car. I think I'd actually be bored if it worked properly for an extended period of time :stupid: :signLOL:.
Cheers, I was well chuffed with how the video came out. It doesn't need much tbf just some light scratches all over where I've been lazy and QD'd it too often when it's dirty and get some protection on the paint, wheels and glass for winter.

So jealous of your wheel, brake and tire set up. Just suit your car so, so well :happy2:
Sorry to hear your rattle isn't sorted :sad1:
Seems likely to be the DMF if there's lots of play in it.... Ho Humm..... as you say maybe just ignore it and keep trucking. Sort it out later :happy2:
Looking forward to more updates on your time off!

I once spilt almost a full gearbox worth of used transmission fluid on the garage floor. Cleaned it up with a big towel which I then put straight in the washing machine...... f*ckin hell..... destroyed the machine and all the pipes!! Transmission fluid STINKS :sick: :sick:

Thanks mate, I'm pretty happy with it now although i'd like some Forge rear brakes as I've :scared: :scared: myself a few times. And I'm a wheel whore so I'm definitely feeling some OZ's at some point.
As you say I'm just going to crack on and see what happens, can get a DMF at short notice so won't be off the road for long If it goes bang.

So it's been a very very good week for me with this car. It still rattles but I have accepted it and got money aside so I'm not too bothered by it.
Took my mate out last Sunday and he couldn't understand how you can even make a 2 litre engine that fast lol, took him for a good blast and also saw an internet friend of mine in his GTR on the M40 so he gave us a quick show with machine gun noises out the back of his car. Then went and took some nice pictures and a couple of videos
Then on Monday took out a friend of a friend for a spin. He was over from Ireland after a long weekend trip to the 'ring and really got the itch to tune his MK5 or buy an ED30 but hadn't been in a highly modified one so my mate dropped me a message and I never say no to the chance to scare a passenger.
So after 20 minutes in the car he was a tad shell shocked and said I just cost him a lot of money :signLOL:.
Then had a few compliments and chats with customers throughout the week which was nice.
This weekend went to see Touring cars and see Jays Racekor for the first time since all the work was done and also since mine was mapped so we had a good laugh comparing the two.
Great day out. Then Sunday off to BoostedUK meet in Aylesbury, didn't get a pic of them both together which is a bit silly considering how many pics I took this weekend.
Looking filthy after a hard weekend.
Then Jay pretty much on his own (as I'm useless and my hands were too fat) fitted the Polar FIS+ for me
Can't believe how long it took me to get one of these, it's absolutely OCD heaven
Also managed to upset the owner of a 66 plate M2 who couldn't pull away and then gave up to be quickly passed by an old Golf with silly stickers on. And a 16 plate C63S could not get away from me despite his best efforts although he didn't have much space to really build the speed and pull away. So overall very impressed with the car and just remembered why I love it so much.
Sorry for the gigantic update :innocent:
