a4 1.8 tqs project

[aragorn]

Mk1 TT wheels are 5x100 rather than 5x112

 

[Oranoco]

TT is 5x100, A4 is 5x112 as aragon rightly says.

Fair enough ,thanks anyway

Bought these but insurance people won't accept them on my insurance so debating whether to get another set of oe rims or stick with the bolero

Also got the interior I bought of brad cleaned up and fitted

Definitely one of the best things I've bought for any of my cars , and I've bought some random stuff over the past few years

Will get the snub bracket and apikol bushed diff mount fitted next couple of days

Have discovered I need new gearbox mounts ,so they will get done when I fit the ttv flywheel and rs4 clutch

Should be getting bootlid, s4 rear bumper ,s4 skirts and door trims painted next couple of weeks just waiting on friend to finish his spray booth

I Want to get a fmic next but unsure what I want/need

More soon

 

[mikeyorion]

Next load of parts on the way

Also got a used steering column on the way

 

[Oranoco]

How do you find your centre arm rest as I find my Record squeaks against the drivers bolster. A tad annoying, need to investigate when I get a few mins

 

[mikeyorion]

Yea mine does it to but seems to depend on seat positions lol

 

[Oranoco]

Should have been bolster, I have no idea where my auto correct gets its suggestions from.

 

[mikeyorion]

My phone comes up with some corkers lol

 

[mikeyorion]

Where do people get decent quality oil pumps from ?
Going to pull the engine and box out and do clutch and oil pump at the same time ,is there anything else worth doing while I've got the lump out ?
Cheers mike

 

[Oranoco]

I went with a Topran from ECP as have a few others here.

 

[mikeyorion]

Awesome , anything else I should think about doing while I've got the lump out ?

Crankshaft end seals flywheel and timing belt end.

Made a boost gauge pod

Came out looking alright , not to happy with how the gauge works though , seems very slow to respond with boost and vac ( doesn't snap back like it should ) which is strange considering it's a pucker gauge
:/

 

[aragorn]

is there a restrictor in the line? Try removing it?

 

[Bradderz_1988]

Seats are looking good fella

 

[mikeyorion]

Seats are looking good fella

Cheers bud best thing I've bought for the car so far

Sorted my boost gauge issue , vacuum pipe supplied by stack was to small , restrictive would be a understated fact haha

 

[mikeyorion]

Shame the car was dirty
