I've also had them TT Wheels from Huxley to use through winter, going on 2moz with 2 new tyres

No pics yet. Not had the time.

Managed to break the cover on the cat. Gave it a good whack on a kerb when pulling up outside my mates gaff. And again same thing on a speed bump in stoke.

Also had a rather fruity screw go through one of my toyos. Luckily got it repaired for free.

All things are quite on this front at the mo.

Gonna run a full dianostic check and switch the service light off once my cabe turns up

Its looking good mate, them wheels will look mint when fitted if they aren't already.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

The 18's are in my shed. Thinking they might be up for sale soon

Gonna nip a few body shops to get a few prices. Want the roof respraying and a touch of rust gone, and then the wheels colour coded

Also my cable arrived but you need a degree to get vagcom to work. Its hard for a simple person like me

I'll remember that lol.

Sorted a small leak. Considering a different set of wheels for the summer. Which means my RS4's will be for sale soon. I'm thinking either some porsche twists or some Gotti's

. Posts : 4314 Join date : 2009-07-20

get the gotti's dave

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Still going to be wanting the centre's colour coding along wit the roof and mirrors.

Other things I want are facelift cupra front bumper, cupra R skirts and rear bumper, Porsche calipers and coilovers

porsche calipers will be overkill unless you want to run big power....

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

You've got a good point there Jon. I've been doing some maths and the porsche brakes would cost in the region of £800 dependant on how cheap i could source the calipers.

That sort of money could buy an exhaust and new induction kit

If only I had 700 notes Cool

Theres a set i've seen somewhere that are 18x8 and 18x11. But i'm thinking the extra inch might prove troublesome

These are 18x8 and 18x10, without arch work

11's might prove tricky you should stick with 10's dave

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Aye. Then it needs lows.

Gonna start painting my 18's when I got a week off so they in a good enough condition to sell.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

After 2moro I got a whole 9 days off work which are going to be spent equally between parties, sleep, cleaning the leon, CoD and a few other things.

I'm hoping for a couple of dry days so I can was the car. Needs it ASAP. Also needs 2 new Toyo's which i'll be getting once i've sorted the insurance.

New dv from forge as the Splittr valve put the check engine light on 3 times.

Sorted a sqeak i'd got on my exhaust and sorted the cv boot lip out as it had leaked grease out and spread it around the wheel arch.

Gonna be machine polishing it soon. Will all be nice and clean for the meet on the 28th

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

As it turns out its a exhaust mount on the centre section that has broken, gonna get it welded up till i can afford a new exhaust. North Staffs tyre and battery quoted me £397 for a OE replacement system. Gave Unique exhausts in Stafford a call and they quoted me £240 for a cat back system, without the middle silencer and a Cupra R style tailpipe

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

My mouse is hovering over the order button for some 3M Dy-Noc carbon vinyl.

Noticed that on of my mirrior caps is cracked. So gonna get it smoothed off then have a go at covering them with the carbon vinyl

Phils work at unique is good. Done loads of exhausts for me.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Right exhaust is sorted now. Offending mount has been removed so no squeeking or rattling.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

So much better not having the exhaust squeeking. Just need to fit the 007p when I have the time to do it.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Leon is in for MOT on thursday. All the little nigles have been sorted. Got 4 Toyo's on there now os no mismatched sizes or tyres. Just needs a good clean again.

. Posts : 4314 Join date : 2009-07-20

its all this volcano dust lol

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Yeah. Doesn't help been parked next to the A500 either.

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Passed the MOT, just needs a clip on the CV boot.

Brakes were a point that was raised, as the inner face of the discs have started to go rusty. So they'll be changed asap.

. Posts : 7423 Join date : 2009-06-17

CV boot on mine all the time... I explained to the guy that becasue its so low they pop off as soons as you put any pressure on the car... so he charged me for fitting a clip, lowered the car then pop.... I just laughed...

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Yeah was told by a mechanic that a zip tie was ok and that most CV boot kits come with them now. New clip is £1.70 So not that much and i'm all good for another year.

This is sitting in a sorry state on my driveway atm. Dies 3 times on the way back home and just waiting for the RAC to show up as its not idling right and keeps cutting out.

TBH, I been considering getting rid and having a MK2. Something different and doesn't require plugging into a computer everytime a sensor fails

As it turns out when my mate come to have a look at it last nite, when i'd accelerated hard the cambelt has stretched and skipped a tooth causing the camshaft sensor fault.

So for the next few weeks i'm walking till my mate can fit me in to have hte cambelt and water pump changed.

. Posts : 4314 Join date : 2009-07-20

get your comfy trainers out mate lol at least you know what it is now and ur lucky the belt didnt snap or that would be biiiiiigg

Junior Poster Posts : 105 Join date : 2009-09-06

A cam belt wouldn't stretch but if the tensioner or belt is so worn that it's skipped a tooth then don't drive it

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Its sitting in the drive looking sorry for itself. It'll be towed to my mates once he's back so it deffinatley isnt been driven anywhere

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

Walking sucks. I have blisters on my feet to show that say walking is bad.

Cambelt kit and waterpump are £90 from TPS so thats not too bad

Mod Posts : 776 Join date : 2009-07-20

I'm seriously thinking of getting rid now. Wouldn't mind a Polo 6n 16v.
