Well after four long painful weeks i finally get to pick my car up tomorrow night. Due to time and waiting on parts i haven't had everything done i wanted, but still had quite a lot done
Completely new IHI kit to replace old worn kit
Water injection
Rebuilt gearbox with diff
polybushed wishbones
vibratech engine mounts
also had to replace various other broken/worn parts including maf, n75, turbo intake, decat pipe,chargecooler pump and various other bits.
I rang up earlier and heard it being thrashed on the rollers, it's being mapped conseratively at 1.35 bar and we will see how we get on with that.
Am going back in a few weeks to have new suspension and ARB's fitted.
Also need to replace my AP racing disks and some non carbon pads (ruined the paintwork on the car ) and some R888's and then i think i'll have one of the best running Mk3's out there which if i ever can be bothered will be an awesome track car due to the gearing
But i am going to buy a dedicated track car so will just have to keep on embarrassing those pesky porsches and ferraris who think they can keep up
Am very excited and just hope i'm not disappointed after all the wait and cost. As i joked to Elton earlier - there aren't many original parts left on the car
