On a plus note some minor mods have been ordered most noticeably a vibratechnics dogbone mount as the engine seems to move around a hell of a lot, will help when I start doing some 1/4 miles

You too Steve, the old girl still looked great a credit to you, shame about the boost hose problems would to have loved to have seen it on track some more, and remember to let me know about that turbo

Will do I'm about to turn into spare parts R Us LOL.

 

Thanks I just need to learn how to drive around a track now, get more confidence in my and the car's ability to handle it.

Also got on a weightbridge today when I dumped aload of Ibiza bits,

It had only minimal fuel in circa 25miles left and came in at

1117kg

Great stuff Trev.

 

Somehow managed to miss this, and you, at the National on Sun. Not sure how that happened! :(

Looked great at the National, nice to chat to you.

You too Richard always good to put faces to names

First couple of little mods today Vibratechnics dogbone mount, should stop the engine wallowing round, I don't know if there was any difference in engine mount stiffness as they visually look the same, but I used factory 1.4 engine and gearbox mounts as they were in far better condition then Ibiza ones and it seemed far too easy to rock the engine, and a black washer cap

Love this car, complete sleeper! Any idea what power it's running ? Do you have the part number for the black cover too

Well as mine had the bottom part number all scratched off I think they are genuine VAG caps but just sprayed black

Not much going on got a couple of 15" steelies to whack on the front with some new tyres, couple of engine bay tart up bits ordered, and done nearly 400 miles this week averaging just under 40mpg but getting high 40's if taking it very easy, I'm impressed

Had a pic taken by vrstom at Rockingham

Today's job was a trip to scrappy to pick up some manual poverty spec mirrors

All fitted only 200grams lighter then electric each side but managed to remove about 1/2kg of wiring each side every little helps

looking good Trevor, i can always appreciate the sleeper look   

Sealed the rear door carriers this morning as they had been leaking previously, another job off the list, waiting for tyres to turn up then I can get them on front ready for some 1/4 miles runs on Sunday

Ones that were on

ahhhh, they'll be staying on, mate; the GT bumper trim goes on top of them as they aren't a full bumper replacement only a trim/ cover. Sorry :(
