Personally I'd stick with standard textured matt black, but opinions will vary.  :happy2:

Ha... just had a look back through your thread. I want your brakes :) Only thing left to do to mine really.

I've just changed my DV again as it was split and it must have been split for ages (or the new one is much stronger) as it feels like I've had another remap!! downside is its highlighted how weak the OEM brakes are now.

Managed to get the new HPFP with Autotech internals installed and whilst I was at it decided to convert to the later banjo delete setup.  It will just help make things easier when I check the follower with the increased load from the new pump.  I had a spare later version intake manifold loaded up with stuff so just used the fuel lines off this for the car.  Was a bit of a PITA to install but got there in the end.

Found a load of heat shield as well so got carried away on the Twintake, anything to squeeze a couple more horses out the little blower  :happy2:



Next I paid Alex a visit at AKS for stage REVO 2+ on a wet Friday morning.  Drive home was a little wet but the mid range is a great improvement.

Traffic was slow with the occasional standstill on the way home from AKS.  Got this on the dash :grin:  my other halves diesel does this but is very slow  :grin:



Picked these 42DD bushes up off Alex as well to go with an Ebay short shift mech.  Would recommend the short shift mechanism, they don't have forge written on them but you don't pay for the badge.  Works absolutely fine in conjunction with the bushes and at less than half the price of a forge its a bargain

Fitted



Decided to keep the car for the foreseeable and invest in a KO4 engine next year.  All the hardwares in place to go straight to stage 2+ with the bigger blower engine.  Just need to buy a few bits and bobs in the mean time then back to AKS second quarter of next year

Nice! With the banjo bolt delete was it the bottom nut that caused the problems?

Bushes around £30, Ebay shifter mech £35

Forge shifter mech alone £85 from Awesome. 

Like a saving me particularly if there doesn't seem to be any reason to spend more than this, the cheaper version works just as well but without the badge. :happy2:

Nice thing about the earlier Gti's as well is that they have a nice metal side shift bracket not like the later models which had a cheaper plastic version.  Guess there was the inevitable cost cutting exercises by VAG on the MK5.  Sometimes older is better  :wink:

That wasn't the worst bit and using the crows foot makes it possible on the car.  Biggest PITA was sliding the clip on the flexi that replaces the banjo section (fuel rail side), trying to slide it over the rubber hose in the car was a mare even with loads of lube and the right tools. It's an extremely tight fit even with the spring clip expanded fully.  Ended up taking it all back off and sub-assembling most of it on the bench prior to install.  All done now though  :happy2:

The crows foot i had did not fit well in the end i tapped the bolt of with a metal punch much easier than messing about with the crows foot and extension bars.

The spring clips were a bit of a pita. The clip is still not down as far as i would have liked. At one point i was debating using a jubilee clip.

You want to get that spring clip as far on as much as you can Dazza just to make sure it's over the nose of the metal pipe barb.  I'd rather use an Oetiker clamp in that area as a replacement but you'd need to get that clamp off though to change it which is a little challenging on the car.   Fuel system mods have got to be right particularly on the plumbing side.  :happy2:
