Quick question, is there any reason you've chosen the MPI head as opposed to any other 1.1 head? I apologise if this has already been answered elsewhere.

1.1 spi stuff is no go they are basically crap, the later 1.1 mpi heads are the same as the 1.4 heads just cam difference valves are the same as are inlet and exhaust port sizing.

Ok update time pretty much got all the parts I need now from the previous list head is being sent next week as is the new clutch setup, going to order the HG belt etc this weekend.

Everything being built onto new block so I can just get it dropped in nice and easy, so it is pretty much go go go for 1 bar

More bits to finish car

Spax adjustables with eibach springs
rear beam, front arb and front bone buses
New HG, Cambelt kit & water pump
Standard wing mirrors
service kit
200mm flywheel and clutch

all that stuff will be here in next 10days will update again tonight as pretty sure few things missing

Right well in regards to this massive bag of poo the new head is here along with the relevant rebuild bits are here, new box also sorted. Plenty more to see on this over next few weeks, probably down to nun of the eaton shire soon

[Sophia_Bush]

and on the 6th day god said "thou shall have a big intercooler, shiney pipes and a loud poo valve"

So pics of that in the morning! Otherwise business as usual since the GTi is getting the 1.4 16v and being more of a good daily drive this can get all the proper attention so in order of what getting done

This weekend group n engine mounts fitting, next weekend lowerage & rear braided lines, weekend after that which would be 1st week of July HG, cambelt service. Then throughout July diesel rad and header tank, 200mm flywheel and clutch setup, new box. Plus get new downpipe made up and adapter sorted properly then its all go for launch mapping etc begin of August.

well you can either have the one in the pic the bigger one which is taller is in the last pics but you can see it all as the rest of it is behind the number plate

[Sophia_Bush]

Whether or not this is any signifance or interest to you lot but the new engine has been built and is ready to go in (at no cost to me I may add! ) so guess this is a watch this space and see what stupid result I get this time.

But it is all looking towards a better result

[Sophia_Bush]

Right well car has gone to mates garage for some work which consists of

lowering, group n engine mounts, rear braided lines.

Pick it up during the week sometime, which will be in time for the hg head etc next weekend. So all in very busy few weeks ahead

[Andy_K]

Liking the progress Gav!

[Aly]

Some very good progress Gav I bet your pleased with how it's going.
Front looks really mean

Do the silicone hoses not need clips to hold them on or is something else keeping them on?

Love the progress, get a vid ASAP!

[Sophia_Bush]

cheers Andy

Aly yeah defo happy this is going better taking time and planning it right so everything ain't getting rushed The I/C and pipes is just mock up so I know were everything goes / routed should all be ready soonish end of july/begin of august for mapping all being well

[Sophia_Bush]

right pick the car up tomorrow lowering, brake lines and engine mounts will be done.

Bad news is due to job situation turbo is on hold for a good while now although I will do what I can if it cost bugger or free to move things along

[Sophia_Bush]

nothing got done due to massive problems with stuff being way to seized on the front end and not beam! So lowerage has been put back a week along with rear lines but on much happier news the ecu mount being done tomorrow along with hg, cambelt, new head.

Few pics of the stuff before, the during and after will happen tomorrow





The below shall be fitted in the morning before mates come down to do above



After tomorrows activities all I have left to do is lowerage and rear lines and fit turbo
