got the day off today..  and i feel naughty not doing nothing to the car as i have a massive list still in my head..   i have over the last couple weeks done a few little bits..

 

modded dash to make the TC button sit semetrical as it done my head in 2 litle buttons sat together

 

 

^^^ things like that do me in..

 

then she shat a boost pipe on the way to work..  metal coupler popped out

 

putting that back on i noticed the turbo compressor housing had a bit of play in it, i was not to fond of this so...

 

 

 

 

shes going off to be powerflowed and double checked by the hybrid builders.

 

beings shes called "the smurtf"   thought it pop this on the dash... 

 

 

so there she sits, next to the other car that makes me grin like a mofo! 

 

 

mite go loyter near the cars and see what i end up doing.

Excited...  Turbo will be back Tuesday wednesday, all new hybrid set up.  new revised compressor wheel, barings, oil seals ect. they are claiming quite high numbers  (for a pd150) but ill wait and see what they are on the rollers before i shout.

 

Cant wait to get it fitted and mapped now.  

gave her a wash today..   done her big brother too.. 

 

 

 

That is all!

Nice! Very clean Gee as normal mate!

Just realised that these pics were before i even cleaned them.  

LOL Gee... in that case I have two cars that need a clean too!

rr maann new page new pic.. ..    looks like the big skodas bullying the little skoda into the wall.. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ill do your cars for ya mate...   will cost ya! :P :P  

LOL yes it does! Your Smurf is about to be splat against the wall! Blueberry juice you think?!

 

Just need the good weather first.

Loving the led puddle lights

Great idea.

Fitted this today...

 

 

 

airbag and loom totally different so i had to be brave and cut both looms for each wheel to make up a complete fucntional loom.   Scary as help turning ingnition on for the first time.

 

I have PM`ed Pastyboy to get my self a nice new skoda centre badge,  but i still had the FR down the bottom..   so i got the hair dryer out! 

 

 4d wrapped the bottom bit..  looks ace!

 

then started getting silly with stickers.. 

 

 

this is how i have decided it will be..

 

 

until i get a new badge from pastyboy, my little RS badge will do. 

Looks nice.

So are you sure airbag will deploy now in a accident?

same loom as old mate,  just adapted.  needed to replace skoda clip with seat clip as it was slighty different on rear of air bag, and adapt earth fitment.  quite easy really  just ar5e clenching.   

 

 

i have no Airbag light on,

 

they all the same but different.  lol <<<   love saying that!

That does look pretty good. I want one now. Searches eBay.......

did you get steering radio controls to work?

 

if so how...

nope not tackled that yet..  i will get them to work tho.. 

Love the new wheel mate

nope not tackled that yet..  i will get them to work tho.. 

if you do, let me know.

 

read numerous threads on here about it not working, but if it can be done......

Ahh man, that looks epic. The shape is really good!

corse it can be done, its just finding the time to do it..     going to try and find another 1 for the octy now! 

Love the car mate, great read as well.

Did you end up needing shorter drop links with the aps. You mentioned them but you don't seem that low?

APs don't need shorter drop links iirc

i had a funny noise after fitting them so i fitted mk1 mondeo drop links.   the noise went away but after a few miles come back so i didnt really solve anything other than giving my self more space between DS and ARB.   tbh, the steering felt more sharper so theres a small win there.    nothing massive to shout about mind, just felt better.

 

 

i think even tho i replaced the top mounts, i think they are **** and it mite be them making a noise, as everythime i jack the car up,  it takes a few miles after for the noise to come back.  its fecking annoying.  i get that funny pinging sound sometimes from the top mount when parking.   Unlucky.

Sounds like bearings maybe rather than top mounts if it's pinging? Did you use genuine stuff?

So it's worth my time then, while I do the rest of the stuff.

thats what i mean... the baring in the top mount. was all replaced with the aps.   i have replacements under warrenty now

Good call on getting the SEAT logo off the steering wheel pronto.
