my mk2 golf

New Waltham

ouch...how much for renewal this year?

he myt be able to pik u up then i dont no wich way he's coming from and its on my mums car lol i know its uncool but hey ho its transport and mums insurers try fleacing me at 2k per year cant afford it so i go on temp cover for £30 a fort night every now and then...

dont know how they work it out at 2k a year to add me to her policy but only £30 a fortnight on temp cover makes no sence to me.

god knows, since it would be only half that if you paid for each fortnight??? Insurance companies have always been scamming bastards lol

well, I'll see what Liam says, can pick me up in return for free labour lol

yer thats what he does for me but then u go past my house to get to riby anyways

youve got you mk2 that needs manifold, i will see if i can pick you up but depends on when i am setting off from chrisses as i need to pic a manifold up

Looks very nice how its sat, i usually have a limit to how low i like cars but lower deffinately suits yours i gotta admit

yeh its got threads left on the coillies yet

Have you not got a rear ARB now?

no, didnt really notice much difference having one any way. i suppose i could refit it if needed

I thought they were integrated into the beam? If not I might just swap my stub axles over from my gti beam...

yeh but you can uprate them and swap the bushes, so they must come out. i will have to look.

How hard is it to swap the stub axles from drum to disc? I thought they were just bolted on? I see you hammered yours?

bolts were covered in rust on the gti axle, guess cos there exposed compaired to the drums, but its fairly simple to be honest. few hours work should think

haha, took me 2 hours just to get the damn handbrake cables out of my donor car, they were tighter than a nun's chuff in them grommets in the floor, and I have to remove the exhaust and heatshield, but I can live without a handbrake for a day or 2 if it gives me any hassle

you dont seem to have the best of luck with your car do you mate.

That was on the donor, tbh that car came apart pretty well considering it was rotten! Its just been a pain in the arse fitting most of it to my car, but it was my 1st conversion and I did make problems for myself along the way, I would do things differently next time, was a big learning curve

yeh mine was my 1st but all done in 2 weeks want bad, and i had college for a week of that, i found it damn easy though considerin. i rekons i could do it again in a good weekend now.

you need an update liam but i will take it upon myself to do it for u ......

last tuesday we tuk neg to martins and got set on the very slightly blowing exhaust welded in a new piece of pipe from down pipe at bottom of the manifold so that the pipe diameter is correct to fit the rest of the system and we now have a sweeter sounding valver wich is taking some getting used to...

know i can't hear liam coming down the road in the morning to my house and is verry strange

cheers ian, cant really update with no pics though and havnt got a sound clip or owt yet either

just need to seal around the manifold properly and it will be all good

and the new backbox, then the small bumpers ftw. now we are only waiting for bumpers

and seal the join before the back box where it was blowing a bit

the join from centre pipe?

yeah from the center to the backbox,that was blowing if i remember correctly.

did you ask about the engine?

yeh mate. and also about engine you will see. haha
