Lito's MK4 GTI

[Lito]

Spotted your car today man in the Myer Centre carpark, looks sooooo nice in person. I did the stalk drive by on my way out after work at around 2:45pm today. What specs are your wheels? Im too lazy to search through the 35 pages on here haha

edit: just seen 18x8.5 +30 all round = JIZZ

Haha thanks mate, looks better clean. Could use 5-10mm spacers on the rear but insurance says no

So not many updates as of late. It hasn't broke in a while so I'm stoked with that!! Now that I have no boost leaks it's holding 20psi till redline but now I am running out of fuel pump. I've ordered an 044 and surge tank that I'm gonna mount in the stock intercooler location that should be good for 600hp hopefully that'll stop it leaning out up to and then we can turn the boost up a bit oh and the wavetrak is still sitting in its box

good luck mate, let me know how you go. i'm still curious if mine is not getting enough fuel...

Soo got around to installing the fuel pump/surge tank today. Took a bit of convincing but I managed to get it in I used USRT's wiring harness which made this alot simpler!

Its a quality piece of kit


Had to modify the stock intercooler bracket a little to mount the pump, but is nice and solid now


how it sits


I ran the tank feed and return lines along the fender, under the evap and washer reservoir to try and minimise clutter. I think it turned out quite neat



So after I got all the leaks sorted I took it for a test drive. It's um, pretty loud hey. Not unbearable but definitely noticeable but this setup is good for over 500hp.

Yeah too bad no one will ever see it. AFRs are in the low 11s till redline, so chuffed about that! Thought id broken something when I went for a test drive this morning as it had a loud metallic rattle coming from the engine. Shat myself!! Turns out was just my dipstick tube had slid off and the dipstick was rattling around, cool story hey! And hers another shot of her ass, clean now and with moar black

[Lito]

So car misfires at high rpm and boost if the plug gap is over 0.22 this seem right?

I'm digging those wheels Lito!

Re-trimmed the headliner yesterday. That foam that's on the from factory is a nightmare!!

Before:


After:


Spotlight actually have a materiel for car apholstery so it's got a soft foam backing. Over-all pretty happy with how it turned out, not perfect especially around the sunroof control panel. But a lot better than before haha

Looks smooth now! Good to know about spotlight, I need to do mine soon.

Yeah, they're having a 40% off sale as well, cost me like $25 for material. not sure for how much longer though.

Just noticed this thread was closed, not sure how or for how long but we are back in business now not much to report really. Drove all the way to Byron and back without anything going wrong, which is good. Pretty sure my clutch is dying though, hasn't started slipping yet but the pedal feels like mud and it's pick up is pretty high in the pedals travel.
Oh and maintenance is paramount!

Haha, yeah, I went to reply right after your last post, but it said it was 'closed', I was going to mention it to you, then I thought, maybe it's just closed to me for posting crap/hijacking! Haha.
