Yeti 2.5tfsi The Twins. (And Yeti RS)

[BossFox]

Race Blue Yeti has today been delivered to the APR dealer for it's K04 conversion.

Work due to start tomorrow.

 

So fingers crossed we are looking good for Castle Combe.

[Dark_Hero]

Brilliant will be good to see the yeti vrs up and running

[BossFox]

Progress...

 

[BossFox]

We've also had both red Yetis serviced as they are two years old now.

 

From new, milage mine has covered: 30,000 including four track days and a fair bit of towing.

Milage my wife's has covered: 3,690. :wonder:

You should start driving your wife's car to the meets to put some mileage on

Or a couple of track days

that might give the rest a chance

But it's front wheel drive and DSG, so OK but not really my thing.

Lacking the rear drive parts it's also clearly not as well balanced as mine either...

Now wouldn't that be a challenge ?

Good to see progress is that the standard intercooler on the floor? Looks huge!

Yes, it's bigger than you'd expect for a 160bhp engine.

[Dark_Hero]

Do you get to keep it for 300bhp?

I can see some Fabia owners rocking a yeti intercooler in the future

[BossFox]

Popped into Tuning Werks in Croydon today to check progress.

It's all going to plan so far, so all good.

Fingers crossed for Castle Combe.

 

Work in progress.

 

KW v3 kit.  No kit listed, but the Tiguan kit seems spot on.

 

With rear ARB.

 

Turbo in, clutch and downpipe due next...

[Dark_Hero]

Brilliant. Nice to see it going together quickly

[DAZZA66]

Great to see things progressing on this one Rich - Looking forward to see how this turns out to be honest as I quite fancy a Yeti 

[mdk1]

Looking very nice.

They have traded under many names over the years. They are a very short walk from home. I'm just going to have a wander over later!!!! I know Reuben & co.

[MajorTom]

that looks like an odd set up at the rear for a coilover...

That's how the rear suspension is set up.

The coil spring and damper are seperate.

[MajorTom]

I need to have a closer look under there!

[Dark_Hero]

How much lower will it sit with the kws Richard?

[BossFox]

How much lower will it sit with the kws Richard?

 

I have been told about 20mm, which isn't too bad.  The greenline is 15mm.

 

But I am looking into getting some longer threaded adjusters made so I can raise it up a bit...

[Dark_Hero]

20mm will be perfect I think to complete the yeti Vrs look

I had a chat with the guys as I was driving past today - they were going home at about 7:30pm.

 

I was under the impression that the down pipe has now arrived... can that be really true?

Not sure what you mean, it's there.

Bolted up and the gearbox is going back in as I type this.
