The way it was driving at first made me think it might be the clutch packs, but dont think the mk5 gti has launch control tbf. Hopefully get a phone call soon. If the box is fucked, then so be it I will sort it but if he has a big list of other issues then probably best to sell and get a v8.

Nope, I bet it was playing up and they changed the oil and just reset adaptations which didnt fix it then sold it to me.

Been done by previous owner, but it could be the issue if no other faults found.

Yup, probably be the ECU I knew it was a risk, but time will tell. I would be looking at ST suspension which is made by KW its very good :)

Judgement day! Car has finally made it to the garage, we had a quick run through of everything and I will be expecting a call later.... He is doing the thermostat and oil and filter. Then I have given him a list of other things. Something is defo up with the dsg so that's going to be...

It has top and bottom dust filters will move them around if needs be. EDIT has dust protection all round just the back cover was off.

Think @Typhoon is selling his setup which could be good for you? I'm almost done on mine, some parts i did end up changing. I have only fired it up just to make sure fans and lighting worked, I'm still waiting for RAM which will be this week! I have never done RGB, in fact it's the first PC...

This has been on my radar, excuse the pun for a while so I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

Recaros look real nice in these 🙄

Nice work, you must be local then. I have used both Armstrong and Beanie. Both are good.

Engine colour reminds me of the Alfa.

Great project, well done :)

When you painted the fuel filler area, did you check the inside/backside as it's probably rusty as well.

Alright so majority of the PC parts have been ordered now. Waiting for a couple bits to come back in stock, but im getting excited! I need to get a keyboard and mouse, any recommendations? Spec and cost so far AMD Ryzen 7 3700x £290 - Currys MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX £95 - Ebuyer Gigabyte 2070...

Nope, never had any form of decent monitor ever so I'm treating myself lol.

Monitor has been ordered.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VP9GS1Q/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Xrocker it is, they bumped up the price then as it was 70 for me :( I do want the chair it was 150 I think on xrocker but out of stock sadly :( I need more time with the wheel and different games , but think I may upgrade to fanatec wait and see.

Got a G920 today and a stand, the stand is very good for the money. Exactly the same as the gt omega stuff but a lot cheaper. Plugged the wheel in and started on Forza 7, out the box settings I thought were horrific. The brake pedal I thought was stupidly stiff, but i got used to it. The fact...

The reason why i have a 4TB is for the game library, i already have almost 3TB on the Xbox alone. I think i would need 4TB as a minimum. The SSD i chose is an M.2 Nvme drive, i could go to Sata M.2 or 2.5 if i really wanted to cut the cost down. I think 500GB should be enough for OS and the...

Thinking about a new PC build, budget around £1500. I will need to get monitor/s,keyboard, mouse etc, but i am not including them in the budget. Main focus is gaming/sim racing, i could end up using it for VMs or other heavier stuff down the line. Let me know what you think. CPU - Ryzen 7...

Oh sorry I didnt read it correctly, so it's a replay then.

Very surprised it's even on, something to watch, but alot of people close together!

@Darren S Can you mix match pedals/shifters/wheels?

Thrustmaster TX is supposed to be good, otherwise G920 or Fantec stuff.

Spoke to Adam at Volkstechiks yesterday and seems optimistic we are going ahead still, depends how much of a lock down we go into. I reckon the DSG has an issue anyways so just have to play it by ear for now.

I might have to join up to this! Got my first squad W today only been playing for 2/3 days so happy with that :)

Love these cars, Grinspeed are also a great indie. If the exhaust says Fabrications on it, it may of came from Solid Fabrications. Have you got evidence of the chain and tensioner being done? If not i would recommend it.

Shouldn't be £700, more like £4/500 tbh.

I sold mine on 150k ish after spending probably 7k+ on it and i regret it. Loved that car!

Don't sell would be my advice.
