The pipe work on your fmic set up looks the business. I've one fitted to my passat as well and as you've said there isn't much room to work with when fitting the pipe work even on the smaller 1.9pd motor.

When you fit the gtb2260vk what sort of power are you hoping to achieve?

312mm's now fitted...worth the money and effort imo as the car now pulls up a lot quicker....

The Passat coilovers won't fit the a4. Yes I found that out but I've fitted the spax psx to the 1997 A4 1.8t I bought for £400, which I've been tidying up for winter driving, as I need to get the passat off the road for a while to carry out a few repairs and fit the gtb2260vk along with modifying ...

Today I'm pulling the JOM redline coil overs out of passat to be replaced by a Spax psx adjustable damping rate kit with fixed ride height. Basically need the car to do a bit of towing work from time to time and realistically the JOM coil overs would not be up to it. Anyway the JOM coil overs will b...

Its happened again.....the need 6-paddle clutch is starting to squeal after only 3K miles....so I'm going to continue drive it for a while before the clutch is removed and sent back to the supplier....hopefully for a 5 or 4 -paddle....

From my experience don't put polybushes in the top arms as they eventually break

As usual things are either breaking or falling off.....this time its the rear top arm on the drivers side that decided to let go anyway I had to drive the car 60 miles to get home at 40mph the whole way. On the drive way tonight I've removed the broken arm, which snapped off just like the last one.....

Fitted the V6 snub nose mount this morning.....definitely a good low cost mod as it certainly reduces engine movement whilst not increasing any vibration from the engine :-bd . The original one that I removed was like a sponge in comparision to the new one. http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/l...

Fitted the bottom oem brace, however I'm not really sure if it makes that much difference really so front and rear ant-roll bars are now on the agenda plus I need to fit the final set of powerflex bushings I have for the front lower arms. After that it'll be the fitting of the V6 snub nose mount to ...

The new paddle clutch and pressure plate is in and all seems well again.....funny but the pressure plate fingers look different.....looks as though I could have been supplied with the wrong pressure plate for the kit initially

http://img.tapatalk.com/5284f889-84a8-3e1e.jpg Got my lower brace today :smile: sent from my own phone I have the top brace fitted to my motor but I didn't know you could get a bottom one, however I have one which is similiar fitted to my Mk4 Golf. Anyway do you have the part numbers for the bottom...

Well did my snub mount today with the v6 rubber one , got to say it was a pig to get the rubber back on , http://img.tapatalk.com/5eab8d16-4026-191f.jpg Stripped it all down http://img.tapatalk.com/5eab8d16-404e-a66d.jpg Also had a go at restoring my lights http://img.tapatalk.com/5eab8d16-4094-062...

Recently the squealing from the Sachs clutch increased to the point that I thought it was the release bearing.....so gearbox out only to discover that the paddle clutch had worn down to the rivets and had ground about 2mm out of the pressure plate leaving a noticeable wear lip......afetr only 9,500m...

Anyone ever have problems with the thrust bearing squealing on up take?

The lowering of the CR was only marginal to compensate for the head skim.....there is only so far you can recess the valves due to the amount of metal available in the seat and to ensure you don't affect flow. Also the last thing I wanted was any increase in CR especially with a tonne of fuel and bo...

Haha Like the last comment :) about the rotary engine :) Anyway that is the point , diesels ar not engines that you want to rev high . Did you kept the stock springs ? did you berried the valves in the head or left them out and increased the piston pockets ? How big can I go without touching piston...

I keep looking on ferrea.com and can`t really manage to get hold of what I`m looking for .. the same with the cam from newman cams .. it seems not listed .. I can`t find it on their site .. shall I contact both of them privately ? or .. ? thanx in advance .. The Ferrea Race Component valves were cu...

expensive ha .. well I still have to pull the head off so I can see why the hell there is pressure going into the water .. I have the egr delete .. I have it deleted from the soft as well I have MAF switched off and MAP based smoke map .. by me again .. I do all the soft moding myself otherwise wou...

The arm which broke was an original arm and the replacement one I fitted was supplied by Euro Car Parts. The replacement one cost £36. I do believe that its down to the lack of suspension movement due to the upgraded bushings, as there really is very limited sideways movement on the arm when fitted.

The new look of my passat.....

wooooooooow that was a nasty one .. A friend of mine had one similar but in a bend .. He stopped sideways in a bus stop .. luckily there was no one there (bus or ppl ) But anyway , is that happening because of harsh driving ? stiff suspension .. or weak arms ... Got the short shifter that you have ...

The copper work adds a nice touch to the pipework in the boot......what other plans do you have for the car??

Never got around to fitting the gtb2260vk yet, as other things have been on my list namely working on my tdi Golf. Also had a few problems lately...... Could have been nasty as when I touched the brakes coming off the motorway slip road the P/S wheel tried to vibrate its way off the car.....anyway I...

Still think you need to replace the front grill....keep it stealth
