What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

[poozey]

Fixed my front passenger window which had decided to dance with the bottom of my door (and with a loud thunk as I was driving out of the supermarket, thought I'd cleaned up a trolley!). Mmmm those Bora doors are a challenge, but the onset of bad weather tends to give you a hurry along . . .

Swore at , cursed at, hit at and generally got frustrated with the Bora. However another 4 hours down and the intake manifold is off (read pita to remove) airbox is out, throttle body off and the biggest pain of them all, the exhaust from manifold back to just past the cats is off.

I'd forgotten just how painfull working on modern cars is!

Test fitted the turbo, manifold and wastegate onto the block and everything fits with plenty of clearance Have nearly finished with the intercooled piping outside of the engine bay, was going to get it done yesterday but ran out of argon (left the gas tap on and the feed line to my welder blew off overnight )

Soon on the list is removing the head, just waiting on the head spacer from C2 motorsports and a bunch of ARP gear also from the U.S. Anyway more gas also arrived today so bring forth the weekend and my next days off and i'll continue the charge to boost!

Sounds like an awesome project!

Does this have a separate build thread we can follow along with?

[WhO]

graeme86 - is that aimed at me? If so i've been intending on getting started on one but between working nights, renovating the house and building the car it's been put in the "later basket" Alas soon i will get onto it!

HAPPY!!


I tried once, but failed, then was going to get Jmac to do it, but i thought 'f*ck it', and did it myself. woo.

Cleaned the dirt/bug build up around my condensor and radiator with a blast from the hose last night, and changed spark plugs.

I'm getting the VR6 flywheel/clutch job done on Monday. Should be a good reward for a weekend pulling apart my e30 wreck!
