Joshy's Mk5 Golf Gti build thread

[Joshy]

When's the air going on bro?

Waiting for my tanks to arrive in the UK, then i can build the rest of the boot build and get it trimmed. I'm off to see the guys thats getting me the stuff tomorrow with a mate anyway, hopefully it will be fitted in a month or so :)

[Gti_Mad]

take the cover off fully mate and take some better pics 

I will have a go tomorrow mate
I wont run into any faults by unplugging the MAF sensor will i!?

no mate aslong as u don't turn the ignition on wiv it disconnected

Looks a decent example and definitely an upgrade from a Corsa, was it a 'limited edition'?  
Keen to see how this under-bonnet situation develops  
Can I ask where you got the rear wiper blank from?

[Joshy]

Ah good! will take the cover off tomorrow then :)

[Joshy]

From these guys: http://airtechnik.co.uk/
Their unit is pretty close to me and i'm good friends with the guys there

Had the engine cover off this morning and everything looks normal, apart from the duct tape and the Revo PCV revamp Saying that though, i probably wouldn't be able to tell if anything else was different anyway!

your engine cover and lugs on the engine are fooked mate n so's the top of ur oil cap where the engine covers moving about, id keep ur eyes open for a 2nd hand cover mate

[CarlW]

In regards to the engine bay cover, mine is doing the exact same thing with the air intake piece that has fallen off and the cover not sitting right making the oil cap not being positioned right.

I read a thread on another forum the other day but can't remember where or what forum as someone had the exact same problem as you and me. I do remember however that it could be to do with the rubber grommets on the underside of the cover that may cause this? not sure how far to believe this as i haven't had a look for myself yet but it mentioned taking the cover off and making sure all 4 rubber grommets are sat where they should be correctly and then replacing the cover.

You could check this and see if can help you in some way as thats what i plan to do but i think i may be something more than that as in lugs? etc as mentioned above.

[Joshy]

Thanks for the replys about the engine cover guys! I'm hoping to get a new CAI soon so the cover will be coming off when i buy one

Anyway, an update on the air.
Few more bits placed, now i really need to get building this thing! (sorry for the blurry photo!)

[Joshy]

Another air update!









I now need to decide what everything will be trimmed in! 

[George10]

Nice little set up you got there josh! What your covering it in, alacantara?

Thank you!

Yeah i think alcantara! I was thinking making some other bits and have some contrasting black/charcoal alcantara but i feel like i need more colour aha!

[Joshy]

Finally made some more progress on the air!
The boot is now ready to be trimmed. 26th is the final install date, all going well. So this bit of my project is nearly over!
