Can't believe you painted it Trophy Red..............
It's looking good mate, if you need a hand over the weekend give me a shout
Just spent ages posting a carcastic reply but then lost it somehow... In short it said "Its not F-IN trophy red!!!"

Quick update, engines back together but I don't want to run VVT on the new engine so I needed a way to modify the standard inlet pulley so It doesn't develop the dreaded rattle.
So I've designed a solid version to replace the std item
Then made it at work...
Just modified the design slightly with the lightening holes to ensure the solid version was the same weight as the std pulley.
Hopefully over the weekend I should be able to get the engine finished, back together and mated up to the VW box for fitting!
Cant wait to get it in the bay!

I would of still needed to VVT delete the std inlet cam, plus the exhaust pulley would of needed to be machined slightly anyway.
Plus I've got access to the kit to do it so why not

Heres a few pics of my VVT delete setup.
The oil ways in the end of the cam that feed the pulley measure 3.8mm dia. So I god some stainless pins ground to 3.83mm dia with a slight lead in. They were a nice tight fit and pressed nicely into position.
Then the pulley bolt needed to be plugged. The bore was 5mm dia, perfect for tapping M6. So once it was tapped a stainless steel grub screw was lock-tighted in place.
Bolted up, just need to fit shorter M6 bolts.
So now its time to get stuck into it in the garage. See how far we get today

Good days graft today, engines now in.
Trouble is the old exhaust manifold now fouls the gear selector. Looks like I'm gona need to build a new exhaust manifold and downpipe... The question is do I update the turbo whilst I'm on?!?

Small update this week...
New brakes turned up
Was supprised how big the calipers were... Just need to get the front end built up then I can try them on 
Also new turbo arrived... So I can start building my manifold, here it is in the bay on my fixture so I can get the position right then transfer it onto a spare head to build it up...
Oh and fitted some new leather seats in my white R5...

Not done much recently as we just had our 2nd baby on Friday... However I've designed a new inlet manifold and I'm in the process of making it...
Heres a pic of the 3d CAD.
