Mk3 golf short shifter diy
dom.joy replied to carterleeds's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Short shifter was one of the best mods I've done. Although it doesn't feel short anymore -
Thanks guys. Spacers turned up last night and the rears wouldn't fit over the hub lip so they're going back to be machined. Annoying but the seller is bring very helpful.
-
I am tempted by gloss black. As theyre only 312 brakes so nothing really special like porsche brakes which I would want to show off. I think the discs pretty much filling the wheels is enough.

Not done it myself but I have seen someone use a latex glove over the stick to catch any metal bits -
That was the other option
-
Think I'm going to try a copper colour. I don't want them to really stand out like red or something would.
-
I'm struggling to quote posts using chrome on both my phone and tablet. Chooses a random post to quote instead of the one I want.
-
Any suggestion on colour? Preferably something I can get in a can to brush on
-
Yeah exactly. The BBS are fine but at the moment if I drive in the wet then I have to clean or at least dry the dishes otherwise they tarnish

Test fitted the wheels at the weekend. (ignore tyre being on wrong side, it was top of the pile) 20160214_132633 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr 20160214_135842 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr 20160214_140822 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr Really like them despite not having the best 'stance' but I don't want any rubbing on track so they'll be fine.

Ah fair enough. Thanks for the info, dont think I'll bother with a universal one if they sit high. I've been meaning to get tt pedals for a while but have read mixed things that you need lhd accel pedal. Or to trim parts down.
-
Ah cool. I've seen the universal ones on eBay and always thought they could look cool. May have to have a measure up
-
Couple questions. Where did the sunroof wind deflector come from? And did you get the rhd or lhd tt pedals?
-
Can't stand Chris Evans but I'll give it a watch and see what I think of it.
-
From what I've read/been told 2.87" should give 8-10psi. I don't have air con mate. Sorry
-
That'd probably produce more boost than I'm after haha
-
What diameter out of interest? I'm gonna start buying stage 2 stuff soon
-
No worries. Pics above probably help. Mught be easier to go 90mm>80mm maf side. I run a recirc valve. It's not an atmospheric so recircs everything.
-
Assuming its the same as s V1 charger I used a 90mm to 76mm for charger intake. Although the maf is around 80mm but it does stretch on. Then for charger to tb I used a 72mm to 76mm 45 degree reducer then a 76mm 90 degree elbow to the tb. Hope that makes sense. Drop me a pm if you want mate
-
I 've been advised 330cc injectors for 8-10 psi at stage 2 by stealth
-
Yeah standard injectors at the moment.
-
Thats the ones I've been eyeing up but couldnt decide on size so bought a couple £1 stickers before splashing the money. Thanks for the link. They sell some nice stuff
-
Been a while. Car is up and running nicely and parts for Stage 2 have been identified. I bought some track/drag/winter wheels to replace the banded steels as the offset and width of those makes them unfriendly for decent size track tyres. Picked these up for hopefully less than I can get for the steels 20160126_180537 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr 20160126_180548 by Dominic Joy, on Flickr Also bought a heckblende, always liked them and found one reasonably locally. And added a 'supercharged' sticker to decide if I like it before buying a proper badge. (Ignore the bumper damage, I still need to
-
I reckon that's your issue. I'm venting mine to atmosphere on my V1. Only get slight fumes if I'm sat still in traffic
