That looks like you've made it in photoshop and got the scale wrong!

Yep. It has still the yamaha R1 carbs and the fishies on the valve cover. It's actually stood up to the heat really well. Just a couple of cracks around a couple of the bolts.

Thank you for the quick answer Jack

Only the very early 1.0, 1.1 and 1.4 'suitcase' engines shared engine and gearbox oil. All other models including all GTIs have separate gearbox oil.
-
I like the wheels, I'd have to get the bonnet painted though.
-
Not quite sure about this, I have a 1990 1.6gti with Be3 box so does this version share the engine oil with the gearbox or is it separate?
-
Yeh, loving it............ O.T.

Excellent! Was this on bike carbs with a fish tank wrap on the cam cover?
-
amazing!

Nothing wrong with the cross members that I M axles provide, as mei said we just replace the bearings as we've had them fail first hand after less than 2 or 3 stages on a tarmac rally (no worse than a track day). They tend to take better quality bearings nicely enough, and as a matter of course we change the stub axle to suit the bearings supplied in the kit. the fit is 10x better. if people ever need a cross member and we don't have a 2nd hand one to use available, we have used I M Axle cross members and just replaced the bearings from new. never had a problem with any of the castings, the torsion bar splines sit nicely in there, no play. the only thing I'd be tempted to keep an eye on is the 4 'top hat' shaped bushes in the cross member. these don't take massive forces, but no idea if they are made of chocolate. you tend to see 30 yr old oem items in perfect order, so i imagine they'll last a few years regardless. for what it's worth we are in Bridgend, South Wales and now charge £330 to strip, clean, rebuild your old axle (new bearings, seals, shafts). If you need another axle to replace yours due to wear we offer an exchange axle for £50 on top (if we have one in stock).

EW10J4S VAG 2.0TFSI coil packs?
Tom Fenton replied to Gaz7612's topic in Non-XU/TU Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Personally unless there is a very good reason not to, why would you not retain the standard coil pack that fits perfectly on the head? -
Hi all Just wondering. Anyone ever tried to just modify/widen the subframe instead of mounting 309 gti trailing arms for some extra camber? BR Arthur

Ford Edis2 plus bespoke leads work well and are cheap. Advantage of individual coils is sequential plug firing , so is worth the effort.. I have a spare set of S16 coils but, like the Gti6, probably will not fit without modification. -

Hi all. It's been along time. About 13 years I think. Anyway I use to go by york dave back then and I built a fast road mi16 powered 205 back in 2006. I still have it and brought it over to live with me in Canada sometime in 2009. I hope this will work. But here is a link to the old build. A couple of years ago I made it road legal over here and have been very much enjoying it ever since. It has run a couple of hill climbs in largely the same spec as it has always been in. And is now getting turned back into some what more of a road car due to me having kids and mortgages and all that good stuff that gets in the way of racing. Anyway, I have been redoing the dash and now the braking system and I am in need of some parts. So if anyone knows where I can find a complete brake pedal assembly, including brake pedal, servo, mounting, and reservoir (I will get a new master cylinder). Then please let me know. I will attach some pics if I can figure out how.

It was just an idea I was thinking about. I've also got a set of gti6 coil packs but they don't fit without modifications. I think I'll either stay with the standard EW10J4S coil pack or look at fitting something like a Ford one with HT leads. Gaz -

Auto Finesse's "Revive", looks great, can be used inside and out, and a bottle lasts for ages...... for plastics/rubbers etc. It's cheap too.

The critical piece of information that you need is the architecture of the coilpack. In other words, are these coils TTL or just 3 wire ‘dumb’ coils. The ECU will need to know! -

Should go in before putting engine in From what I recall it's easier to take the inlet manifold of to fit this pipe unless you have baby size hands

EW10J4S VAG 2.0TFSI coil packs?
Gaz7612 posted a topic in Non-XU/TU Engine Maintenance and Performance Upgrades
Hi all, I'm looking to run coil on plug coil packs on my EW10J4S engine conversion (OMEX 710 ecu) Would I be able to run VAG 2.0 TFSI coil packs on this engine with correct wiring loom? I'm also looking for recomendations for fuel injectors and fuel rail to suit the EW10J4S engine with a Rotrex C30-94 mounted to the side of it!! Thanks again everyone for the help Gaz -
Thanks everyone for your help, does anyone know the route for the power steering pipe that runs from the pump to the rack? many thanks
