Small updates firstly I sorted my problems with the fuelling some burk had placed the fuel feed and return the wrong way on the in-tank fuel pump ****Thank you Rob Carter @ Leeds VW**** that guy found the problem.

Secondly I found a small knick in the  fuel line from the fuel filter to the HPFP so I decided to uprate the lines, still ongoing at the moment has i'm trying to find the right hose clips which I think Pirtek may have the solution.




The other 2 lines and the engine lines will be done once the clips are sorted.

Now seen has my car is getting a bit quicker and been heavier at the front I'm starting to feel the GTI brakes are letting me down so bought some new calipers and I'm now part of the NQSBBK gang, just need fitting.

All nice and painted with high temp black, didn't want any bling just something subtle.

 



Will post pics once fitted :happy2:

Oooooooooh. Love the brakes. Now that looks like it could have gone well on Nousey's old wrapped ED30. Proper Batman look it would have been too!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers guys if they are good enough for Nath then I'm very flattered :notworthy:

Mmmmmm Porsche brakes - very nice.  Loving the colour, will work a treat on your car

 :smiley:

Slightly off topic but im lowering my car this weekend and have just fitted an edition 30 spitter - do you have any issues with yours catching on speed bumps or drives etc?  Yours looks pretty low

Cheers guys ive yet to do the rear calipers but they can wait till the weekend to be painted.

GTSport I'm on springs now and it doesn't scrape on anything unless the drive or road is at an odd angle? Speed bumps arn't a problem unless they are above normal height??

You should be fine mate.

might just do the wheels red now   :grin:

Thats reassuring - I caught mine very slightly pulling out of a car park because of the camber on the road.  Think i just need to be a bit more careful in future!

Thanks for the comments guys
 
Got some more pics of the pipe work in the engine and my daughter has picked the second colour for the vac pipes    :grin:

Will get some pics once the engine bay is cleaned tomorrow.
