[Gally]

Also Gally... Ph1 Gear Stick... Gear change feels massivly better with it

I think some of the bits are different though.

Post #75. Mechanical nonsense I know nothing about. I'd like a spare one to build then just swap over.

AD08's are good wet and dry, just adverse to standing water lol!

My boss nearly wet himself at the tread and compound. Not a bad tyre!

Should be the same iirc.. Iv not fitted the yanoo kit so cant comment on fitting that but fitting a gearstick is easy enough haha.

Buy a Ph1 stick, fit the yanoo kit then throw that in, keeps the car on the road while your messing with the kit..

i much prefer my ph1 shifter to the ph2 type, the throw just feels better, but its maybe just me (I also prefer the Metal Ball )

Dogbone, is it possible without a ramp?

 

[Djw John]

Yup, axle stand will be fine

Dont see why not

You swapped mine while my car was on blocks of wood LOL

 

[Djw John]

Flol yeah but I'm much much much thinner than Cap'n Keenan

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Brilliant, cheers boys!

This is good news! Probably wouldn't take long to do it to mine but a Ph1 I wouldn't mind.

I actually fancied a new one of these actually for mine... http://bit.ly/NBYblu Red and Black looks nice whilst still being oem.

Welcome to the Trophy World.
You will have alot of fun with the wee thing but you will forever like me be wanting parts for it.

I really really want to fit a standard Yanoo kit also but i have no idea who could fit it for me.

Serious?

If you are honestly the hardest bit is removing the heatshield under the car is really an easy job.. if it had an age rating i'd say 8+

 

[MarcB]

It took me over 3 hours to do a back box on my Puma and all that had was 3 rubbers and 1 exhaust clamp.

When it comes to this i would deff be getting someone else to do it.

 

[Gally]

I could do it but I have that many others that will, just seems silly.

SWR? You're not far from them aren't you Marc?

 

[MarcB]

SWR? You're not far from them aren't you Marc?

Just e-mailed SWR.

Gally have you bought yours from Yanoo yet ?

Im going for the base kit with brass bushes at £59 currently with plain polished ball joint housing.

 

[Gally]

No just waiting on another pm mate. He seems to take a while.

I have no idea what i'm ordering! 1.0 stiff shift and whatever he suggests.

You never know Marc maybe one day my one will be close to your standard!

 

[Lal B3N]

AD08s are epic wet and dry, not even that bad on standing water unless your being a hero.

As said I would still change the dogbone mount, the difference it makes for the price is great.

Same with the Phase 1 gearknob, whether or not its actually any better I don't know, but it certainly feels nicer.

Yanoo told me just to go with the base kit as if i go with anything else it could possibly shorten the life of the gearbox or something.
I have got an e-mail back from SWR who can fit it for me so like you im just waiting on Yanoo getting back to me.

 

[Gally]

Me too mate then i'll order the base kit.

 

[C.J]

What happened to the TT? You sounded like you were loving the 3.2 Quattro?

 

[Gally]

I was mate, space was a bit of an issue but it wasn't being used really. Stunningly good car though. Hard to find better for the cash.

Bloody enjoying this thing though.

 

[Feirny]

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Needs more photos. Who's was it before?

Also those pipes look HUGE!

Im not being funny, but every time you comment on something I automatically read your comment in a will ferrell voice.
just to make you aware.....

 

[Gally]

That should be a sadface!

 

[Detail Chris]

Well I never, he's got a red one! Nice Gally will follow with interest! Btw i insist it can only be coated in C.Quartz
chris

 

[Gally]

Of course Chris. Obviously Andy @ CP would stone me to death if I used anything else but also helps that it's still a market leader.

It's needs some wetsand action!

 

[Rob]

Erm, Saturday's been and you've not detailed it and taken photos? WTF?

 

[Detail Chris]

The T needs finest Gally....

 

[Gally]

It has been discussed.

Wait and see. First detail probably Tripple or LP and Z5. I'll do it this week at some point.

Carpro's Hydro2 is a superb product Chris, not much use for a detailer as such but initial testing is fantastic. I'll have a review up soon.

 

[Detail Chris]

Cool, shame you live so far as we could finest you up! yeah hydr02 is on its way to me for test but as said not much good for me, however the wife's shed focus is gonna kop it!

Cant go wrong with a bit of Zaino for now!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Zaino

 

[Gally]

Some beading on a car with no lsp or polish applied just Hydro2 Chris...

Big increase on gloss on poor paint aswell mate. Simple spray on and PW off. This way heavily diluted.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

got any more pics of the car? or are you waiting until you've gave it a full detail as such?
nice beading, where do you get that stuff from?

 

[Gally]

No more pics mate. Not until it gets a good clean. New plates also needed., private plate to come off.

Carpro sell the product mate.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

cheers

 

[Gally]

No problem mate. It's a weird detailing product usually reserved for the cheap tat end of the market with "spray beading" if you will but this has been developed well.

Seals up glass, plastics etc. impressed so far for a quick fix product.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Demon shine is another of those products like that which I assumed cause it was on the shopping network etc would be utter rubbish but for a pour on thing it does actually have an effect.

 

[Tommo.]

Looking forward to seeing more pics of the T!

What plans do you have for the car?

Me too, used it as a quick wipe over after a wash and it lasts for days. 2 for a 5er can't be frowned at either.
