    Back on car. Got it all built back up, and sitting how I wanted Pics to come soon While I had the inlet manifold off, I opened up and re-shaped the inside of the neck near the throttle body. I then drilled out and fitted a 1.8T temp sensor. As there meant to not get heat soak, and also work much better with forced induction. I also drilled out and changed the vacuum fitting. but didn't get pic after finishing the vacuum fitting. Before re-fitting it on car, removed the sensors, an gave it a good very good hot wash, degrease, light acid wash, neutralise wash, then clean hot wash again. to

    Back to the suspension and how the car sat..... after getting the customised lower arms, ball joints, and new custom suspension back on, and testing how low the car sat. I still wasn't happy, the car still needed to sit a tiny bit lower, maybe more if possible. but the lower arms still bound on the subframe too early for my liking, and i wanted it sat lower! So there was only two routes I could take, as I've already done alot to make it sit lower. 1. ball joint raiser, or 2. raised turrets. Normal ball joint raisers / extensions don't fit and work with VR6 ball joints, meaning i would of had

    Haven't found time to do an update in awhile, been flat out working on the car in my spare time, kinda why there been no update, as I've been to busy doing stuff to it. Finished heat wrapping my exhaust, I did the down pipe ages ago, but never did the headers, as previously i did it while the whole engine was built up. So got round to heat wrapping the headers. I also heat wrapped the under side or my inlet manifold, With this special ceramic heat shielding. It's called Zircotec. I went for ZircoFlex 3. This is there website on the stuff: http://www.zircotec.com/page/--zircoflex-iii/150 Th

    Dodo juice is amazing, I've used it on mine for last 2-3 years. They also make a purple haze pro, Blue velvet will also work well on your colour car, And smells even better than purple haze.

    Thermostate temp sensors, as they control when the fans come on and off. They communicate with that box in your photo.

    I can't remember what ford sorry buddy. But I do remember it was a 6rib belt not 7 and 1420 long. So 6DPK1420. 6 rib belt will work fine on 7 rib set up.

    Make sure to sand the mounting surfaces on the alternator, and alternator bracket back to bare metal. Otherwise you might get a few grounding issues dude.

    Vag-com and measuring blocks, (Not a Handel held diagnostic machine) Full vag-com or full VCD's on a laptop. Use the measuring block on every single sensor, measure them once when cool and running smoothly, and once again when hot, and running rough. Look to see any differences between the sensors results. This would be me starting place. Depending from results of the measuring blocks, Compression test when cool and when hot again. Depending on results from compression test, leak down test when cool and when hot. There are vag-com and VCD's specialist out there. Not just a VW specialis

    Ahh fare enough dude, I did have quick look and found a 1420mm from a ford. Could get custom one made from brammer. But most probs just as cheap to order one from US.

    Guess is 7ribs like standard belt. 6rib belt will also work perfectly fine. Double sided. Just the length you need. So the code for your belt would be... 7dpk???? Or 6dpk???? The 4 ???? Are the length of the belt in mm. So if you needed 1700mm your belt would be 7dpk1700 or 6dpk1700. Ring up afew places like euro car parks, GSF, and big car parts place. give them that belt number and see what the closest match is. A few mm either way will be fine as you can either tighten tensioner of slacken off tensioner.

    Wheels looks wicked man. If you know the length of the belt you need dude. I know how you might be able to find a match in the UK. Hope fully off the shelf.

    I can get mounting brackets made, I took mine to a few company and they said they can copy it, but it not cheap, as I haven't got the time to draw and make the design my self on computer at the mo so they have to do it, so that included in the cost. But cheapest I had was £270. Another place was £300 and they would 3D scan my original bracket and make it from that. Could get it cheaper if we had a 3D design to give them already.

    Removed all bungs from floor pan an underside. ground back the under seal around all the bungs to fresh metal, ground back any other suspects areas where the underseal was starting to crack, found few surface rust areas. Ground back to fresh metal and treated with chemical rust prevention. 2 of the smaller bung holes near the sill needed welding. So I made some plates and welded them in. Both front sills got repaired and welded just after purchasing the car. And still holding up really well. Other than that floor pan looks all good, Previously checked the inside, when I had the seats out
