Mine was tuned at Engine Dynamics and think it made 175 before any mods, then it had 197 cams, ktec induction and PMS exhaust and made 190. If I had something like an rs2 inlet and bigger injectors it probably would of made around 200.

Yes, wouldnt probably be best to use my mechatronics with new solenoids, still new a flywheel and clutch pack tho. So realistically it's probably not going down that route anyways. Might just order a diff now I'm gonna look at prices but they are about 1400 I think for a Wavetrac.

Yup, i guess i just have to suck it up and go all in now...

Trade price on my car is about 2k. The way im seeing is if i spend the money on the box and all the other jobs then i know the car is 100% sorted but it will owe me a lot. I could sell/part ex the car and spend the same amount as it owes me on something else, but then whos to say that car wont...

Bad news has been confirmed... Car needs clutch pack, flywheel and solenoids on the mechantronics so basically the worst situation. Total is going to be just under 2k....then i need to spend money on getting the other jobs sorted. This car is going to owe me a lot, but not sure what else to do.

Love your cars and your work, always very impressive. Highly jealous of your fleet and skills.

As much as i would like to, the bills im getting means im not buying a diff.

I have decided to keep and repair the car, it has now been dropped off for the gearbox to be repaired. Looks like it's going to be the clutch pack, but I will find out at the end of the week. They are going to test the lot so let's see. I'm then going to order all the parts for the other jobs...

Got the car back the other day and it does drive a lot nicer now, the engine feels a lot stronger now since the inlet adaptation was done. I'm now trying to work out what to do, i know the gearbox will most likely need a mechatronics unit despite nothing being found on the modules. I have a...

Interesting! They say that any monitoring software apart from ryzen master keeps polling the cpu and it treats it as a workload that's why it ramps up! Mine on idle/light work load is around 40-45. I played COD warzone and cpu was low 50s and gpu was mid 60s with a slight OC so overall I think...

Idling you can get 45 degrees easy, but AMD say the monitoring software is causing this. So I'm not using it and set to amd ryzen balanced and using ryzen master atm.

Fixed the coolermaster issue so I can control the colours finally. The pass through to mb doesnt work tho, well mystic light doesnt detect so I will reinstall and see if that sorts it. Not sure if anyone else has ryzen, but even idle temps are high on these chips! Might need to mess with voltages

Yer the rbg controller is plugged into the mb via the USB 2.0 header and windows detects it and I have updated the firmware etc but still no joy. I set the pump to pwm and it's about 2400 in the bios so hopefully that's alright. Other fans are around 1300 rpm

Having some software issues on the build... Ram is the only thing picked up by MSI RGB which is fine. Downloaded the cooler master software and it detects no products connected... Pump is plugged into the pump header and then the rgb cable goes into the controller, i then have the 3 fans on...

So i have the report back and its a mixed bag really. Thermostat was done, same for the service. Lets get the elephant in the room sorted first, the gearbox. Adam scanned the modules and found no issues with them, so he has ruled out an electrical issue. He said it up shifts perfectly fine, but...

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...
