It's tomorrow morning! I'll tell you as soon as I know. All I've done is change oil and clean my lambda sensor. It so nearly passed on the last try so this has got to work

Just start it,run it up so it's warm, then bring the revs up to 4k and sit them there for a bit (make sure the fans work beforehand, or disconnect the 'temperature plug' to override the fan operation) just to make sure that cat is roasting hot!! Then take it down

Which one is that? There's the two on the right of the manifold but wasn't sure which was which Haha. I'll just unplug them both. Fingers crossed Sad

if not I'll be going to Lynx...

Represent!

Just dropped the car off for its re-test, and clearly out of sympathy the guy I've known for ages said he'll fix the remaining exhaust leaks and if that fails do something else to get it through Smile

Re: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - vlj - 02-08-2012

Bad news, apparently I'm not very good at fixing exhaust leaks. Old vs new [Image: 1f55df71-66a9-fb5a.jpg]

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - vlj - 06-08-2012

Not a particularly exciting update. I've been working like crazy so I haven't had any time to do anything.
Fit the standard exhaust back to the car for now until I can sort MOT. Don't seem to be any leaks in the system now so it could have been down to fitting, but that doesn't matter now.

Fitted to the car

Temporary exhaust hangers!

As I have to replace my rear discs & pads for the MOT - I figured it would be an ideal time to paint the rear calipers properly!

Temporary handbrake

Also got some bits to fit this week which will keep me busy:
-Coilovers
-TRS strap
-K&N win cone
-Oil cooler (not sure if I'll fit this yet)
-Braided brake lines as they need replacing for MOT anyway

Will get pictures up when I have them. Cheers!

Looks good mate, how much do you want for the exhaust.

this is what you need for the sticky stuff on the back of the car BTW http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stripe-Removal-Wheel-Toffee-Caramel-Do-Nut-Drill-Glue-1-/290499908281?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item43a324d2b9#ht_1175wt_698

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Niall - 06-08-2012

Just FYI, your exhaust should fail a mot if it's held up by cable ties but if you have a nice tester, he might let it go.

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Scott - 06-08-2012

I have an exhaust rubber mount in the car you can have for the MOT if you need it Smile

I have a hanger now, the cable tie was just there to keep it at least looking decent on my driveway!

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Niall - 06-08-2012

Good good Smile

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Matt - 06-08-2012

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Poodle - 09-08-2012

Rofl

Look forward to seeing this on Sat bud, looks tidy. Particularly like the yellow accents, some mong on here has done the whole front end, looks awful...

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - samass - 10-08-2012

true that, some douche has gone totally overboard. next he'll be wanting a yellow exhaust tip!

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Matt - 10-08-2012

Wellie exhaust tip? Would have to be a douche to rock that

Re: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - vlj - 10-08-2012

This is in for the final time at the garage at the moment and fingers crossed will be out this afternoon.
Also winning some winning wheels on ebay with 12 hours left

Only picture I got from the weekend, car went through MOT very last minute, so here it is with Jimmys rallye!
Absolutely loving it on the road, updates to come this week Smile

Re: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - vlj - 14-08-2012

Heater matrix time! Wasn't so bad..

Oops

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Scott - 14-08-2012

Good effort! How long did it take? I love that you say you're terrible with a set of spanners but have managed to put back together your car and do things like the heater matrix which a lot of mechanics would frown at.

Hour and a half! Still doesn't mean I'm any good, I had to get Jimmy to fit my cone haha!

Cheers mate but the front end has changed a little bit over the weekend! [Image: 56a1e3b5-9041-857a.jpg]

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - vlj - 15-08-2012

In these educational videos I:
- follow a black 306 for nearly 2 miles just so I can overtake him and show him how it's done
- show some twat with lexus rear lights how it's done.

Obviously keeping to national speed limit, and don't comment on gear changes.. :p

RE: Non-tapping Black Gti-6 - Ed Doe - 16-08-2012

Those gearchanges need some work... Tongue

Sounds nice though Big Grin
