2.0 TFSI DSG MK1

Hi all, thought id post a little log on my mk1 20vt build, found the car looking pretty sorry for itself but seemed a pretty solid base, its a 1.3 with engine siezed, so decided to give her a new heart with abit of boost , hope you enjoy and will try keep you posted as much as possible.

how i picked her up



after a good wash, coilovers and banded steels i had.







picked up some BBS RM 012  will be getting refurbished with wider lips soon.



stripped out interior to give a good clean and check for rot and any other defects



my small collection of conversion parts so far



thanks for looking, will try keep updated as much as possible.

those mounts look nicely made, where did you get them from

Welcome to the forum.

Nice looking car. Exciting project ahead. Keep the thread updated with pics

Smudger

what size are those banded wheels dude?

Thanks guys, got the mounts off eBay they do look good!, the banded steels were 14" 8.5J all round with 195/40 tyres.

Looked mean as hell on the banded steels, keep them on  

Matt

bandeds were too small for the brake set up i will be running so i sold them now, currently on some G60 15" steels at the moment



also tried some 15" OZ Super turismos before i sold them too



while i get the BBS ready for a refurb and new lips

Fair point, brakes are important   

The G60's look nice. Maybe painted black like the banded steels?

Matt

G60s are only temporary or track use the BBS will mainly be on 

Picked myself up some Porsche seats for the mk1



Then wrapped the rear of seat in carbon fibre vinyl, opinions?…

I like the seats mate. Did you do them yourself?

Thanks, n yes I wrapped the rears myself, they had a couple of storage marks, nothing major so decided to wrap to see what it was like.

Nice work buddy  

Think the seats look great, good job  

Matt

Thanks for the sizes. Them seats look real smooth. Good job.

Good work, looking forward to seeing how this turns out

love the car

Thanks for positive feedback   , few more pics of what I've been up to…..

Trial fitted the seats.



Also the car has been previously painted, very poorly lol so decided to wet sand to remove the orange peel effect on the paint, I had nothing to lose the car will be fully resprayed once it's all up and running.

How the paint looked before.



After being flatted.



And after being polished back up.

Sorry for lack of updates, few pics to see what iv been up to….






















so brief summary, forged conrods, engine rebuilt with all new parts, 3" inter cooler piping and large front mount, 3" intake pipe, battery tray removed, engine mount moved as was small block, rear disc conversion running mk4 calipers, Audi s2 (girling 60) front twin pot calipers with 280mm discs, Audi s2 brake master, td05 18g turbo with jabba sport manifold, currently in for custom exhaust, 3" downpipe and middle section and 2.5" over rear beam and back. Then it's time to run the engine in and send to stealth racing to remap it, Hope you like it, comments welcome.

Exhaust done, now time to run engine in ready to be remapped, hoping to have it ready for gti international.

So I've been dying to ask have you had to do much welding the nearside rear wheel arch nearly came off in my hand when I had it on the trailer hahaha

I was told there was a lot to do but looking at what u have done to it I think someone told me porkies
