My 20vT MK2

Cheers

Cheers.

Hopefully you'll see it soon mate. Was going to suggest the WestSide show, but it'll be a far old trek for you!

Cheers Ian Glad the bits found you ok

 

Well my 1.3 speedo cable turned up last week

No more using the speedo app on my iphone lol That was interesting lol

I'll be swapping the driveshaft over tomorrow to, as the noise is really getting worse, and I haven't been driving it much due to this.
Got some bits and pieces going on mine from the 16v to, which will neaten things up.

Mk4 is going in for a overhaul at the end of the month (cambelt, bushes, ect ect) so the MK2 will be my daily for a while.

Roll on next Sunday's Westside show

 

Swapped the driveshaft over today to see if it would cure the clicking noise (thread in chassis section), but unfortunately it didn't !!





I thinking it must be the wheel bearings or something to do with the brakes, so I'll try and sort this out this week.

Might even try one of the hubs off the 16v to see it that cures it ?

Also decided to remove the 16v engine too. A great cure for a hangover trust me lol







Nearly done with that mk2 now.

Not much left to remove now really.

 

What you after for the engine, loom, gearbox, ecu and fuel pump Rich.

 

Rich you had a chance to see if the big rubber bung on passenger side is in good tact and available?

 

Will pm you now guys

 

All ready for the Westside show tomorrow

 

Collecting some winter wheels for the mk2 tomorrow morning.

Not revealing what they are yet, but I'm in desperate need of a set so I can rebuild and refurbish the RM's

Got loads of bits and pieces to do on the mk2 which will keep me busy.

It just doesn't stop

 

For every job that comes off the list, another two get added hey. Mk2 20vt owner through and through. I've had 8 years of constantly evolving ownership from 1.3c to 9a to abf to 20vt. Along with general maintenance and all the other mods, it's a lot of time spent, as most of you will know!

 

Very true.

Worth it though hey

Collected some new wheels for the Mk2 today.

Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's





They have some slight curbing, but nothing major. And seeing I paid nearly nothing for them, I had to have them.

Just need a set of decent tyres on them now, and balanced.

I can now start the horrible task of splitting down my BBS RM's and get them looking fresh again.

 

Another set of wheels are on their way tomorrow

 

I'll take your team dynamics off you then

 

I'll let you know if I do

 

I've always wanted a set of G60 steels, and now have some

Collected these this morning from a fellow forum member.

Tyres are legal on them, so the BBS RM's will be coming off soon for a rebuild.

Not sure what to do with the BBS's though ? Thinking of going back to standard dishes ? Not sure yet though ?

I've still got a list as long as my arm of bits and pieces to sort out on the Mk2. Now that winter is approaching, I best start getting a few things done

 

Just took it out for a spin after a while sitting in the garage. I now have a big on my face...

 

very nice alloys m8. i be getting these soon aswell.

 

They are so light it's unbelievable!!

I'll trial fit them tomorrow and get some pictures up

 

Team Dynamic are round corner from me so its a bonus. yes love to see some pictures thanks

 

Not been able to do much on the mk2 this weekend due to the weather.

BBS's will be coming off soon, and the G60's will take their place. Not sure what to do with the Team Dynamics yet ?

I did win this on eBay the other night though -





A new genuine 16v fuel pump to replace the digi one which is running the 1.8T

Didn't know it wasn't a straight swap into my digi fuel pump housing so I'm on the look out for one.

Managed to get it out last week for a long blast. Its going to come off the road soon for some upgrades and TLC.

Got a little pic while I was out in it



Will keep you all updated
