Excellent tread with lots of progress.
I have a couple of comments:
1. Could you elaborate as to the bonus of running these "Tyrolsport Deadset Collars on the chassis bolts" sounds interesting so far
2. Also the Catch can to prevent the gunk on the valvestems sounds like a good idea, but the valvestem gaskets is made to allow a tiny amount of oil slip through to lubricate the valve stem and you cannot avoid that so you may minimize the gunk but you can't avoid it unless you go WMI. IMO the better solution is to block off the PCV and change oil more aften which most of us do anyway as the gunk will stay inside the engine and in the oil. Then go WMI to prevent what should come past the valvestems gaskets
Bur excellent progress so far
As the holes in the subframe are larger than the bolts I have read about people getting knocking from the subframe over time, it was more of a case that as the subframe was going to be off I might as well install them while all the bolts were out and eliminate the possibility of this happening in the future!
Catch can is an easy preventative measure for now, WMI may be a possibility in the future but while I'm still using it daily it won't be getting fitted!
Cheers!
2 Lovely cars there mate. Do the new wheels have to be VW Motorsport? What about something after market?
No they don't have to be VW Motorsport I just liked the wheel and knew there would be no clearance issues with my BBK, as said I think I'll just stick with my original plan of Compomotives, just need to decide between MO6's and MVS'
