CasperGTI Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Well today was eventful. Got her running again then for the coil pack to give up, then the plugs fouled up. But after all of that and now running a set of plugs and a coil pack from a mini.... She is alive again.Been on the rollers again today for a bit more tuning, She will be ready monday (fingers crossed noting else brakes!) heres a sneak peak of my messy engine bay atm:Next week consists of - changing coil pack, changing plugs, tidying the bay, polishing the intake, fitting the boot and wiring, doing an oil change, going to no rice, taking a trip to the bodyshop for the new stuff to be polished, and somehow doing 800 miles!And she sounds truly amaising..............

Tigz™ Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 John I'm heading southwards next month, I get the chance up take a look. ATM your is the most hand built tuned GTI in the UK that I know of. Can't wait to see it (and film it? LOL) at Santa Pod racing Pete. Nearly there dude! I'm very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperGTI Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Andi your welcome mate, any time. Drop me a PM when your about, i need to come and see pete anyway.Lets just hope it finds the power im looking for, weve had a few unstable runs so far.... the figures make me smile!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I dream most weeks about this point in my own mission. I'm not an enginner, although the reason I am travelling south is an intensive training course at our own depot. It's gonna be invaluble for work, but I'll feel better about putting mine back together Avon over the summer. When's the ECT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
