I get like that at work sometimes but.the grinder slipped yesterday on me and caught my hand
Im glad to see the progress on this. Looks good. Any diffrent turbo plans??

[daniel909]

Was lookin at getting a td04 but funds are now tight so the next thing on my list is a new clutch don't really now what to go for !!!!

I slipped with a grinder befor cutting pipe and holding it with my foot just put a nice slice in my shoe lol

[daniel909]

Finally got round to doing my clutch tonight as my car was pretty much in drivable
First clutch I have done on a DT what a twat lining up the release bearing with the clutch fork but other than that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Its looking good mate. You really need to get a badge for the grill though! Some side skirts would finish it off nicely as well

[Owen_G_]

Looking good. Some progress on this yoke. Keep her lit lad

[Piggy]

Smart when its all clean...does want a nice badge on her and ph1 gti skirts with the lower half black!

[WiNgNuTz]

does not look good very often then as Cornish are shit

[Frosty]

I would say get a badge. I think they look better with the badge rather than a de badged grill. I may have a badge if you are after 1?

[daniel909]

well if u got one then yeah ok mate pm me

Well next job is to adjust my wastegate a bit more

What does everyone think the car will look like on 205 gti alloys and what colour will look best

[Jimbo]

Should look epic.on white speedlines, my mate had some on his cherry DT looked really good tbh.
Good work with the car mate ph1s are dying out slowly

[daniel909]

I was thinking white are they 15 or. 16 inch
I got some white cyclones good condishion if any one would like to swap them

Mate at work has got a set of speedlines Rhys. I'll ask him how much he wants for them if you want.

[daniel909]

I will swap for my white clones

[daniel909]

Well f*cking head gasket went to night now thinking do is sell it scrap it can't really be asked with it now what to do hmmm

[Frosty]

Don't give up mate. Be a shame after all the hard work you put into it!

[mr_fish]

let me guess, changed to 3rd brought it on boost and *bing* coolant light on?

Sucks mate, though if its taxed and tested for a while yet, you ought to keep at it.

[daniel909]

Small update I have been busy re building my landy so haven't touch my car since the head gasket went.
To today I finally got round to taking the head off to find that the gasket was f*cked taking the head to college tomorrow for a skim
Is there any other parts I should replace while it all stripped

Got head bolts
Head gaskets the way
Exhaust and inlet gasket

[Piggy]

New belt be a good idea. Water pump too if you can afford it!!

Oh and a bigger turbo

[daniel909]

Would like a bigger turbo but I am thinking of selling and putting my landy back on the road now that pretty much finished

Head needs a bit more cleaning

[Frosty]

Good progress mate. With all this work I think you should keep it. I would say get a head set so you got all the gasket and seals you need.

Depending how keen you want to be get the valves grounded in and valve clearances checked

[daniel909]

Was thinking about putting new valve seals in what are they like to change

[daniel909]

Setting up ready for a skim

There pretty easy. Decent set of pliers to get them off then tap the new 1s on with a socket
