Yesterday I found my bumper tray held on by one bolt :/ What was meant to be a 5 min fix turned into the bumper being taken off and spending hours getting the intercooler pipe cutouts symmetrical and making guard gaps tighter, there is still more to be done. Today I took off my trust exhaust and started to look at ways to get an s15 kakimoto muffler to fit in the way i want it to. I believe i have found and easy way, so will be calling roadway muffler tomorrow to book in sometime.

Group buy for extended paddle shifters took off like crazy on vwgolf.net once it was shared with some other forums, so very soon I shall have some nice new black paddles that can actually be reached while cornering

Edited by Trozzle

Yeah a few times within a couple of months of buying it lol...but not at all this year yet. Never get the opportunity thanks to shithouse road surfaces and traffic, and god knows I'd end up getting in trouble somehow if I did haha.

That, and unless I'm actually racing another decent vehicle, it's completely unnecessary for kicking their ass anyway! hahahaha

Fuel Pump and Wallet. :/

Pump was not producing enough pressure to Rev but with a New one in the engine feels more betterer Power than it ever has.

The Never Ending low rev / off idle Stutters seem to have gone.

More to the above story unfortunately... :/

however, about 10 kms into the drive to work on this -40 morning, my rear window decided one piece was not enough.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
