sorry loads of pics but its :smokin:





Then i sorted all the waist gate jigery and flanges






Knocked up a new down pipe






Still loads to do but that was one nights work.
Oh the turbo is a custom GT30/76r from Owen Developments and the gait is a TiAL 44mm jobbie.

[Polo]

So, where i left, got a box of goodies from goodridge and made up all the oil and water feed pipes, then slaped on some heat sheild.



More heat protection, shortening of water pipes and moving breather pipe etc etc.


bit of heat wrap


After making up some more bits and bobs, spanky braided vacume pipes, IC pipe and modding one end tank on the IC it was time for the final fit.





Just got to sort out a few little running isses and get it mapped again an im good to go for teeside on friday.

This is where im at now and what iv been up to since xmas.


Iv also desided that as i cant afford a gear set for the rb box this year im going to make an increased capacity sump(an extra 2-3ltrs), add a thermostaticly controlled electric oil pump, an oil cooler and an oil filter, in the hope to reduce the chances of yet more box killage:wack:

Got some R32 GTR bits from Scotty at Skylinepart.com, cheers mate:thumbs:
If you are wondering why, its coz i snapped over 8 drive shafts in 09, im sick of changing the things. GTR is much stronger. Only worry il be blowing box's more again, lets hope the cooler will help that.


Checked the out put spline diamiter to see if ill need a GTR or late s14a/s15 2way diff. Tis the right size



GTR's have a locking diff from the factory but still no good to me, its going up for sale and is a good upgrade over the vlsd and is streight swap on late s14a and s15.


The input flange on the GTR diff is differant to sbody so that needs swapping out for an ABS Sbody flange. So that was taken off.


So it now looks a bit like this V . Il be using every thing other than the GTR locking diff and input flange.


The right ratio too 4.11:1 for any body who cant be arsed to work it out. EDIT: Excuse the manky finger, i dropped a gearbox on it a few weeks ago!


Some other parts iv been collecting over the months,
Thanks to EPRacing:notworthy


Slight change for 2010, yea its been done to death but not how this will look in the end

[Polo]

So i went up to EPracing today to see the legend that is Leon. We collected the last few bits to complete the "new look". And some other goodies. Just got to wait on the front bumpers to be air freighted!
I would list all the bits wer fitting but thatd give it all away!

The GTR shafts arived, the size differance is funny! Note the inner CV joint, its HUGE!! I busted a few of the shats throgh the casting last year on s14 shafts, cant see that happening again with these!!


2mm differance



New steering rack after i bent mine in Portugal!

Been held getting on with the car as iv been fitting loads of these things!

And started making the templates for the increased capacity sump for the rb25 box,






Thats it for now, should have time to start test fitting all the kit tomorow
