the akrapovic fit's directly to the manifold. So did you modify it?

Can't, because akrapovic mid pipe

If got an akrapovic exhaust, so no secundairy cat, which means I have to keep the pre-cat...so no aftermarket manifold :( would have bought the one on optimiz-acces otherwise. Just spent a ton on all my cars, this was the last thing I needed to go wrong.

Been a month since I last updated, and again failure... This time it's the well known exhaust collector that's cracked, the flexi joints are going out aswell. 1200€ to replace everything, just insane. I've already spent tons on this car and once again it let me down. Wanted to do a trackday on...

went through the MOT today, No problems what so ever.:thumb:

my fastest on Zolder today, not the best driving i've ever done, was the fastest though:

some pics of the akrapovic: fitted the new calipers with a rebuild kit: I had some lightbulbs to replace in the front headlights, so I had to take the headlights out, this is what I came across: Totally wrecked condensor... pulled it all off the car: new condensor, and some...

progress of the rebuild on the gearbox; the gearbox is back together and fitted in the car, along with the new clutch, clutch slavecylinder and crankshaft seal. rebuild spec on the gearbox: new steel synchro's on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, replacing entire synchronizer sleeves on 3rd and 4th. Also...

thanks guys, hopefully that will be the end of a lot of issues for a long time. My new oxygensensor arrived today, some one had solderd on the old one:

got some new parts in: insulation for the bulkhead with the fitting kit: My rear calipers were starting to seize so I orderd new ones, to be fitted within 2 weeks: I never had 2 working keys to the car so a new one was in order: So I had some mayor issues with the car, so this morning I...

Yesterday I wanted to replace the batterycover, all the tabs had been broken off: A brand new one: I didn't fit, because some had replaced the original battery with a taller one. So I bought a correct size battery all back together, nice and straight:

orderd a bunch of parts to get it back to perfect condition. One of the rear calipers really didn't want to move when I changed over to the Galfer pads, so I orderd 2 new ones. The insulation against the bulkhead was torn up, orderd the whole deal with the fitting kit. On top of that, I never...

Mine has cup dampers

Massive improvement. Better comfort, less bodyroll, more grip. I never expected this amazing result. Wow :shocked: Offcourse can't compare this to proper OEM suspension.

fitted the eibach springs, here's the broken springs:

My cars: My previous vento GL, 2.0 2E engine, 34000km from new, mk2 GTI rebuild gearbox, G60 brakes, Sebring wheels, bilstein B14 coilovers, braidedlines, RBF600 fluid, Greenstuff pads, RE002 tyres, GT look. Quick car for it's age: Golf mk2 intercooled GTD: it's a 1900cc AAZ swap...

I just orderd a set of Eibach springs, I think the front right spring broke. Orderd the -20/-25mm springs.

I've had a good combo on mine: -Brembo HC discs front, OE brembo discs rear -Ferodo DS2500 pads front, OE ferodo rear -Goodridge braided lines/Motul RBF660 I've used these @ zolder and Ecuyers, Zolder is really hard on the brakes and I've hardly had any fade. Good setup on the street aswell...

Cleaned the TB, wasn't to bad, this is the dirty pic to be clear: Swapped the ferodo pads for the Galfer's. And changed the engine oil and filter today.
