[Tim_GTi]

yeah there has been a few people that have expeiriencd a similar problem, i think Tim was one? and he had a K&N filter i reckon,

Nah I've got a BMC with a standard breather filter mate. Wasn't aware of the crankacse one also

[Bepe]

hmm, must of been someone else, i cant remember who, but yeah its a common thing, something to do witht the pressure building up

[chrisjames]

It was stani540 I think, I remember reading it. It was another mpi engine.

4 whole pages and no pics lol.
I had better get some up when my new parts arrive.

[chrisjames]

Got a little parcel today,



A couple more expected this week.

I also gave the car a much needed wash and took of the tints. I much prefer the OEM clean look. Money wasted but I guess you learn.





I will take a photo of my engine bay when it is done.
Thanks for reading,

[chrisjames]

Another box..



Oil catch.
I was thinking about going down the performance cams route but money is maybe a problem atm. From what I have heard it is worth it. I would also be getting it chipped.

The stance probably need sorted first though...

[chrisjames]

Got some proper lowering material today



Just missed out on some RS6 seats the other day



Had no idea how I was going to fit them though..

I promise I will get some pics up when coils fitted. My car is so dirty at the moment it doesnt seem worth it, thanks for reading!

For now: (before coilovers)

[Bepe]

looks good mate, loving the HDR picture

[Tim_GTi]

when are they going on mate?

[chrisjames]

Good question, its difficult because next monday to wednesday I need the car mobile. I was planning on fitting them this weekend but that would leave me no time for tracking.
I want to try and fit them in my lunch break during this week, but dont think it will happen. In other words dont hold your breath

[chrisjames]

done
front bumber has 1mm clearance going into my garage (I actually measured it)

[chrisjames]

Here is a pic of the clearance I have going over a very slight hump on my drive

[chrisjames]

Some new pics of my car









Just bought spacers etc but then the gearbox blew up

I am replacing it with a brand new one combined with new driveshafts, cv's and clutch so hopefully no more problems

[h4r1s]

looks very nice mate

[Gary Gee]
