Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Niki? When! I want to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Not Niki, Kevin at Jabbasport. One of two things are going to happen; adapter availability depending I'll either change the ECU for one of these - http://rrrshop.co.uk/ecumaster-emu-1-p.asp Or I'll keep the ME3.8 and it'll drive like all DBW 1.8t's do, on or off haha. On the 10th (Pay after delivery) I'll buy the seat frame for the Clubsports and a set of harnesses so I can get those fitted. I've got to fit new engine mounts, fit the rear camber shims, polybush the front arms and bleed the brakes again and fit a 7'' servo between now and the 30th. Lots to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Jabbasport any good? Not heard of them before. I need to buy some bits before my map, Tyres, Pads, Discs, TIP, Sports Cat and DP, let me know how it all goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, they're pretty good. Been around a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sounds good. May come along anyway I just want a working car haha. Being away and half the people selling stuff online being retards is making my life awkward. Hopefully get things finally done this week or so. Fingers crossed it's not the turbo, but if it is then it's as good an excuse to play as any 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 On the 10th (Pay after delivery) I'll buy the seat frame for the Clubsports and a set of harnesses so I can get those fitted. I have a set of Schroth 3 point harnesses I don't really want. Like this in white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 :bow: Trademark blunt Jardo haha Oh and in car news, I just bought a new carpet for my boot. A day of soaking up oil in salt and it still feels as oily as it did at the start... Can't be bothered with it. And I bought a load of Magnatec to replace the stuff I've spent all day cleaning up. The most annoying part is that it's obviously my fault for not doing the bottle up properly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 It wasn't meant to be offensive, I just don't want three point gaylord harnesses. To put it into context. Three point harnesses. Other type of harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Had a fun day with Matty fitting his induction kit, some fog light blanks and a number plate relocating bracket to his Type R. All went swimmingly, then came to adjust my gear linkage as it won't select first or reverse due to the lift up reverse bit being in the way, adjust it fine and boom...

greg1040 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Would anyone be wanting any custom parts made up for cash. Just thinking of a cheeky wee side job to my normal. Me and a pal are currently making a drive shaft for a vauxhall nova. Its all turned ready for me to mill the splines on then we have some1 with a 500bhp nova willing to test it out. I see on loads of car forums parts been custom made with alot of interest. Cnc turned and cnc milled of course so will be if high quality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Changed the oil and the filter in the car as it turned out the car had 20W-50 instead of xW-40 oil.. anyway it has the proper oil now I have been told to not to spend to much on the car as it does not worth it, use it for my Bonus then try to sell it as it will not do too many more miles Happy days. So airfilter changed, oil and filter changed, next step will be sealing up the brake pedal, as it is leaking heavily when it is raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Morning, last night I noticed when I've pulled up into a car park my car the engine top/head (I think) is making a weird tapping/popping noise, I did top the engine up with a little bit of oil earlier this evening. Video: What could it be, spark plugs screwed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Out cruising around in the Golf to meet my dad for lunch prior to internally mounting the gear shifter. I really do like this thing, even if it is terrifying. Now that there is no weight in the back it moves about a fair bit, and I'm used to driving the S3 down back roads flat out knowing that it won't ever get out of shape. Driving a turbo Mk2 Golf is so different, nowhere near as fast but easily more dangerous. You have to scan the road ahead for any change in surface, undulation or potential hazard and decide if the car will make it through with any speed. It's funny. I probably should have started with something like this to learn how to drive properly. Good fun though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
