    When removing the the wires and hoses your probably best to label everything with a bit of tape or take photos.
    Will be ten times easier to re-fit if everything's marked up.

    I've been doing track days for quite a few years . Well over 20 tbh ( yes I'm an old git ) tried out rc6 pads on sat , and all I can say is awesome . Unbelievable stopping power through standard calipers on my Clio track slag . Strongly recommend these for track abuse

    Something to bare in mind, is any intercooler and longer pipe work will decrease boost.
    Why a lot of people keep supercharger piping short. And no intercooler, as you can drop about 3-4psi, sometimes 5psi from pipe work and intercooler setup. So if you only had a 6psi charger, and -5psi boost lost. It not hard to do the maths.
    You can also get psi and boost loss from many other factors.
    So it worth keeping in mind....
    psi / boost lost
    to
    supercharger or turbocharger size and out put.

    After a lot more sanding and primer I thought it was time for some colour so after running out of thinners and my gun packing up (which is now fixed) I managed to shoot a coat of colour onto the bay, still more standing to do after this but getting a lot closer

    Also bought a FSM code 02m which is out of an Ibiza pd130 which I'll be using the final drives along with my DRP case and gear set

    New Pistons at circa £200 a set and labour the same! Just typical vr costs really!
    To be fair tim'll only replace what needs replacing. It was only rebuilt 30k miles ago.

    The manifolds are probably port matched with the head maybe??
    Plugs are ok it's oil I ment
    But if the oil is too thin that Will make a difference
    A full set of pistons etc can't be that much can they? Lol
    Hopefully you get away with a hone and new rings

    Is there a point doing the full service if it will might be having a strip down?
    I'm guessing they will do the leak down test first
    Also has it got a standard manifold or a 6branch??
    Cheers

    Its having a full service next visit and tim is going to go through all the vacuum hoses etc to make sure they're all ok, remove the lpg system which should never have been fitted and perform a leak down test. I'll also be praying to anyone that'll listen that the work done this visit will increase the compression on the cylinder that's been bore washing. Then probs the 3rd visit will be a strip down and rebuild of the engine as required!

    Had a wash,
    need a good rub down and polish
    Got this to use as a jig of a sort to get a 24v manifold made, hopefully I get it right as its a right fek about changing them over with the 24v as front end got to come off to get the inlet off

    It's a supersprint copy but I think that the wall sections are a bit thin too the collectors are nasty
    This is something I need to get

    That's what I'm thinking and use the vents in the bumper and vents in the arch liners
    Id like to keep pipe work to a minimum so will start with one with low boost and work up from there
    The cost of this is creeping up quicker than expected and waiting couple months before I get the bracket delivered
