    Timing belt replacement

    4 years or 60k I think it is off the top of my head, I wouldnt be in a massive rush but I'd get it done before the end of the summer just to be safe. Enjoy the new motor ! Look Like you've got the best colour as well ;)

    1 or 2 Oil Gauges?

    You'd need a sandwhich plate on the between the cooler and filter but yes you can have both. Personal preference is oil temp but pressure can be useful as well with the 1.8t ability to starv its self

    My 04 lcr 225 platinum grey

    So this sort of happened. Also Fixed my slow speed fan and dodgy idle with a new CTS. Vagcom showed arratic temp out of spec, Now no idle hunting and slow fan speed comes on at 94... Perfect. Always good to check the little things before you expect the worst.

    Charge pipe heat wrap.

    Thanks RDS I'm pretty happy with how it's all coming together. I'm in two minds maybe trying to keep heat in/away till it gets to the wing less heat in the engine bay I dunno but looks good though in my mind Haha. One day be up to your standard if I'm lucky

    Charge pipe heat wrap.

    So I had some titanium heat wrap lying around and thought why not wrap the charge pipe? I've seen it on a couple of BT builds and Jap scrap... My understanding is that it will keep the heat from the engine bay till it's cooled by the big welly on the front ? Going to course any problems ...

    My 04 lcr 225 platinum grey

    As a comparison it looks nothing like this.... Think I burnt the pigment or put too much on when it was curing. I've bought an intake manifold and another rocker to paint and tart up to then swap. means I'm not racing trying to get it dry for work the next day. Haha

    My 04 lcr 225 platinum grey

    Yeah its crinkle red..... Its a good coat, really nice crinkle. Not got any cracks. Just gone really really dark. Don't think I left it long enough to cure ? Gonna think about sanding it back and going again tomorrow, leave it over night and what not.
