my rabbit gti

[otti]

hello
my name is otti and i am from germany.
my expensive hobby made it a necessity to get a better payed job so i moved to norway,where i still live.
i am in the process of building a car up from scratch and ride the bus :mad:
shortly after i moved to here i bought my first mk1 84 rabbit (kind of rare in europe i think. i did a lot of work to that car and enjoyed it a lot :thumbup:
i bought the complete content of the sparco catalouge,supersprint exhaust,
lights, chrome parts and silicone tubes.....and more
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/024-3.jpg
i loved that car and decidet to drive it to germany for a nice repaint in my vacations. unfortunately did we when we took it apart a lot more rust than we expected difcould specially on the rear axlemounts :(
there was no hope of saving it and i was really unhappy when we had to crush it.
no time to waste i bought a new shell and begun to work on it
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/155-1.jpg
i got a good offer for a 1.8t engine i couldnt refuse
one year later, tons of work ,3000euro in planetickets many hours overtime
she sits like this

[VeeDubber]

Indeed, the blue-white engine bay is a killer
Really nice!

[Tjaap]

btw what are those covers on the struts.. they look like tunacans...

[otti]

they are tunacans! :redface:
i spend so much in details that i wanted something cheap to break up the
tense, and i couldnt find some nice caps for a reasnoble price either.
i got some good sandwiches though :D

[Tjaap]

well you def get an A+++ for originality.... never seen that being used before

[otti]

well you def get an A+++ for originality.... never seen that being used before
hihi
they fit quite well and look for shure better than the strut mounts only some foam tape on the inside to hold them in place.
and they will not rust :tongue:

[Tjaap]

and if you get really bored you can even polish them,... i think you might be setting a new trend..

[otti]

i want a differend (big) rear bumper, the one i have got will crash with the exhaust.
i dont want one from a cabby, any sugestions??
please help me find something what fits the front bumper and skirts :confused:
i think the one i got looks out of place :redface:
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_1048.jpg

[Tjaap]

i'm not a fan of big bumpers on mk1's but it goes with the style of this car.
there are some mk2 look bumpers on the market. i think Rieger made them??

[Azza]

Wow really great colour combo otti,love the two tone with the blue and white.The engine bay is stunning great job!! I wouldn't change the rear bumper, you could always run it without bumpers which looks really racy and actually quite nice in my opinion.

thank you but i could actually not run no bumper style my fmic sits in the frontbumper and is mounted on the bar that holds the actual bumper, you know what i mean??

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/138.jpg

but i can show you how it looked without bumpers, flares and skirts...
i liked it as well, only the wheels looked to big without the stuff...imo
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Bild075.jpg

[Mitta]

i like it without bumpers:D

[otti]

i think i am gonna powdercoat the intakemanifold white for a change everbody got a noce polished one these days...
if someone is interrested i got a whole build thread...

[otti]

i was at the shop and the guys told me that the car is done in 2 days...
then tüv (shakes a little) the frigggin tüv is going to cost me another 1000euros, damn.

i got the new cybershot cell phone to make some vids from rolling around berlin be prepared..... :wow:

[otti]

[desnelders]

and how was the test drive?

[otti]

and how was the test drive?
very good no broblems besides the bumping exhaust, i am lucky that i didnt lost my license from speeding thoug :D
i posted some vids a little more up...
to program the speedo i need a 2 mile road, need to find out how long that is on a usual road to get some exact speed readings...

[RubenD]

Congrats, hope you will pass the test without to much trouble.

If you like, come visit me in Wolfsburg ;) :D

And, yes please, post the link to your project topic.

[otti]

i hope we meet at some gtg´s next year :thumbup:
the car is now in his warm and nice winterhome....

[Chromosexual]

tuna cans FTW! get this car done OTTI!

[gticri]

fantastic project...

how to put sparco pro 2000 so low?????

[otti]

fantastic project...

how to put sparco pro 2000 so low?????

with the stock sparco seatmounts :D
actually the drivers seat is about 2cm higher than the passenger seat
since the tüv demands that the drivers seat has to be adjustable :mad:
thanks anyway :)

[otti]

i just watchet the pics in your thread again and it really seems that your seats are much higher than mine could you make a pic of the seat mounts you are using??
i´ll try to find a pic of mine in the meantime!

[gticri]

thank's otti... I have custom built seat mounts but I can't go moore low...

what is the size of your pro 2000?

I found a photo of seat mount...

[gticri]

I don't have any photo of the under seatmounts, but only over...

this is from toora...

[otti]

my seatmonts looks totally different than mine since the race style mounts are not street legal in germany.
my are two partet. basicly a 40/40 angle bar with 3 holes in the front ad a H-bar in the back.
sorry i cant find any pics either, if i would be closer to the car i would snap some but
i am not even in the same country:-(
the seats are the only size that has been available at the time i bought them...
lets put it this way i need to do some serius training to be abled driving the car next year

[otti]

the only pic i found where you can see the end of the front mount
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/0422.jpg

[gticri]

in italy is all illigal, so I don't have this problem...

can you take the size of your seat in centimeters?circa....

did you cut the central point of attack on the chassi?in the middle of the seats?

[gticri]

may I ask you the seatmount code (from sparco) or the model, and the same for the seat?

so I can compare with my set up....

thank's

[otti]

0499071 Type 17 Golf I à 08/83 00493 Fe 37 345 x 271 FIA 693,00
this is the mount
and the seat:
Vnr - Glassfiber.: spa-00857FAZ
this is from the norwegian sparco import, i dont know if the numbers are equal in all countrys??!!

[otti]

i didnt need to cut anything but i was wondering how you mounted yours??
with the pics above the mount seems to be where the the frame goes in mine?!
do you have your seats so far back? i could not reach my pedals if i would...
my driving position is like on the pic above....

[gticri]

perfect... for the size...

ok so your seat mount are plug & play?


today I contact sparco Italy for have some info...

my seat have toora side mount and under there is a "chassis" custom built on original style mk1....

the driving position is very bad, becouse are to mutch higt... but for the distance to pedals I'm ok

[otti]

yes they are plug and play. i did modify them a little because the were pushing against the seat valence a little.
here a pic of my friend testing the seat position, he is 175cm high
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/0054.jpg

[Chromosexual]

love it!

[otti]

love it!
thank you, i love it too ;)
i am going home for christmas, lets hope the weather is like last year(10degees and sun) then i willl go to the proper wheel alignement and take her on the autonahn to check for issiues and top speed.
i still need to mount the lower dash and fix the exhaust hitting problem.
unfortunately i ran out of money last time and the car still has no tüv :(
we will see if i can make that happen this time.....

[Chromosexual]

[otti]

i am working hard, for you and for me :thumbup:

[Chromosexual]

oh baby! hahahah :D

[otti]

and i washed her for the very first time :tongue:
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00231.jpg
i coulnt get my hands on some tryout plates so i couldnt drive her until now :mad: :mad: :mad:
i fixed the passenger door who didnt wanted to open anymore :confused:
but it is working nicely now and the windows roll up and down properly as well.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00232.jpg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWAsYCvqy4A&feature=channel
my neck hurts now from the acceleration, my bro didnt want to ride with me anymore after 2 hours because of the same reason.

seems like my driveshafts are too long since i have problems in right turns.
how do i know that it is the shafts not something else.
i just got my wheel alignement done....

[Chromosexual]

oh baby!

ehm.... OOPS??

[Chromosexual]

whenever i go to mcdonalds i get the runs too! ;)

wtf otti??

[otti]

yeah the old problem when you switch from a mk4 with 1"drop to a mk1.
i didnt pay enough attention ond the oilpan cracked.
i dont get why they made oilpans from alloy in the first place :shake:
i ordered a new hybrid oilpan from the us where a friend is helping me to get it!
thank you aaron!
i hope that the pan will arrive soon so that ronny can change it.
i am heading back to norway tomorrow :mad:
i am going to work my butt off to raise the money for the future improvements.
of course i need to do some chipping on the engine and like mentioned earlyer,
i need to have the drivshafts redone.
when the car sits on the ground i cant move the driveshafts back and fourth :mad: then it need some upholstery on the roofliner and sunroof.
i am still saving for the carbon dash and the usa trip of course.
the car still has no tüv and this is going to cost me big time...
lots of money needed, damn...

[Tjaap]

happy B-Day Otti

[otti]

happy B-Day Otti
thank you!
good news btw!
my new hybrid oilpan arrived in germany :woowoo:
as soon as my mom finds out how to put pics from her camera onto her compu

[toth75]

[otti]

is that from euronation aaron?
wow. i know nothing about 1.8T's
nope from speeding-g60 aaron dont know if he calls himself different on other boards...
today i send 1000 euro home to get the oilpan in, the driveshafts shortened more :redface: and the headliner finished...
i hope everything is ready when i go to berlin next time....
until then i work like crazy to get even more cash...
i have to think about inshurance costs now as well, and it is not going to be cheap either since the car is a original gti....
the money just keeps flying awai :mad:

hi guys!
i drove my car about 1400km last weekend from bergen to sarpsborg
where i attendet one of the biggest car festivals in norway...
gatebil festival, here a pic of the camping area:
my car and my tent :screwy:
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/autos/DSC00565.jpg

here are the other mk1´s i could find

the black one is rwd vr6turbo with 700hp
the red/black caddy has vr6 midengine on the back if i saw that right :confused:

for more fotos look at the slideshows i made
slideshow1 (http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/autos/?action=view&current=1d3d6ad2.pbw)
slideshow2 (http://s301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/autos/?action=view&current=b4e2e785.pbw)

the only thing that happened to my car was that the indicators stopped working :confused:
need to figure that out
:thumbup:

[Chromosexual]

that cabby is sick

[Chromosexual]

any new updates Jens?

[otti]

onlythat my driveshaft is basicly gone, see in general.
need to get that fixed asap to go to germany for a mk1 gtg...
engine runs still like a clockwork, i turned the suspension as low as possible to have less problems with the driveshaft....
lets see if i can get the new inner cv joint in and be finished in time to go to germay...

[gticri]

that is sick otti...

you drive 2000km?crazy....

why you have the german brief?in norway it's impossible to do a legal register?

[otti]

why you have the german brief?in norway it's impossible to do a legal register?

because i am german and still have a value post adress in gemany i
can register the car in germany.
if i wanted to register it in norway it would cost me like 6000$ to do it...
(customs and registation)
i dont want to give the government here more than neccessary.
they already take 40% of my payment in taxes :(

check the prices of new cars here they are 20-30% more expensive than in germany, only because of taxes :screwy:
tomorrow morning i am going to germany, woot woot!!

[Chromosexual]

have fun Jens!

Please take more pics!

[Chromosexual]

oh yeah...........say hello to John Thompson for me!

so if i come to the states i bring the boose and the porn??? :D

unfortunately i cant go to germany after all :mad:
i piced my car up from a workshop who changed my destroyed inner cv joint.
-the car was not ready on time so it would have been impossible for me to
reach the ferry
- i payed 5500NOK (about 640 euro, 780$) for the job and the cv joint so i
dont have money to travel, worst part on that is that the norvegian
customs wanted 70 euro for importing tax... :screwy:

i am totally bummed about that and going to drink until complete loss of language skills tomorrow...

[Marcski]

damn that sucks!! i'll pop one open on that thought aswell :cheers:

Why the tax, cause it's a german plated car?

[jungli81]

I'll drink to Annette...Jens, grow some $$$$ man :)

[sared]

hey nice car... I love the tunna cans lol, ive tryed my self but here dosent seam to be the correct size... im still looking for ones

[otti]

the standart tuna cans are a little too big in diameter, i used some self glueing foam tape on the inside of the can to make it fit.

[Chromosexual]

love the ^ pic . wish it wasnt blurry tho :(

[otti]

i only have my cellphone to take pics :-(
still saving every penny....

[sared]

we have the same pic... issue :-( in about 1 week ill recive my 7 mega pixels cam :D cant wait !

[Chromosexual]

poor jens :(

[otti]

yo, since i am so poor!

it was time to do stuff on my own again....
i just couldnt find someone to shorten my driveshaft so i did it myself!

first i took the driveshaft out after borrowing the special keys from a buddy
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00640.jpg

got the tools ready

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00641.jpg

cutted the shaft and grinded it down 7mm
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00642.jpg

grinded an angle on it for better welding penetration (angle was a bt steep though)

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00643.jpg

fabbed up a tool to clamp the shaft straght

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00644.jpg

over to the welding table

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00645.jpg

first layer welded,needs to cool down before turning around...
i got a pen that melts at 150 degrees used to check temperature before welding again.
i used wet cloths to cool the rubber boot, dont cool the shaft down fast-it s gong to be way too hard and will crack like glass

i cutted the spot where i tacked t frst up agan and grndet a small v-shape to weld over again.

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/DSC00647.jpg

grinded down the jont to check for pores, there have been none http://media.firevortex.net/icons/custom/green/fv-green-banana.gif

updates!
i finally got around to drive to my granny´s place last weekend, was relived hen i opened the garage and my car was still there!
i popped the hood and took my intake manifold of to test the one i got from aaron(speeding-g60)
check out the difference
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/092.jpg
seems like i need to get an adapter...
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/091.jpg
even the fuel rail fits http://media.firevortex.net/icons/custom/standard/thumb_up.png
shines up the engine bay quite a bit
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/098.jpg
need some fittings and stuff and i should be good to go...
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/104.jpg

[otti]

news from my project!!!!
everyone who read my thread noticed the manifold i got from ,speeding-g60,in oregon.

my tuning shop said that in my regions of boost the tubular manifold will give me a bad idle.

work has to be done!
the custom manifold had to be revised :
marked up!

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto173.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto175.jpg
the flange that was on the manifold was for a mustang gt and not the same bolt cycle as my 1.8t throttle body, so i got a co-worker make me a adapterplate....
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto176.jpg
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto177.jpg
i didnt want to have a flat plate on the manifold since it would be to plain/easy..
my welder "kurt" did it´s best to get the best possible result from the pre used and oil inflicted aluminum, the bad ground dintn help either..

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto181.jpg
i tryed to polish the manifold but i didnt had the right tools so i ended up with this

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto184.jpg

better than expected but not good enough.i need to get the mani polished.


as you can see the diameter is decreased by about 16% which was the guideline of the aircondition engineer that i consulted while planning.

sometimes it´s good to work @ a shipyard.....

[Chromosexual]

nice jens :)

lets get that manifold over here sometime soon ;)

[breadfan83]

Just grind the welds down and polish it, and it'll look great!

[Tjaap]

hello everyone!

i went to berlin by plane this tme and took the train to my grandmas place, first time in ages not with a car...

mounted everything in the engine bay again and hoped that there is some juice in the battery left to open my doors after 7 months of storage...

it was :thumbup:
even better the car started right up again, no problem :D :wow:
i didnt expect that at all after this long time and a record winter in germany
woot woot

i took the car for a spn and the accelleration scared the crap out of me after 7 months in my mk4 2.0/8v :D

i drove the car to berlin and took out some cash
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto209.jpg
this is for cleaning up the engine bay and rerouting the cables,mounting the differential and a longer 5th gear.
all this is going to be done by a shop, since i need to work for more cash :rolleyes:
i hope everything is done on time for when chromosexual is coming to visit europe in may :thumbup:

i took this pic of my car in berlin, updates from the shop comming soon

[otti]

thank you for that pic pauly!



more hard work needed to be done since i think the bay needs more attention!

i fabbed up this pipe from 316 stainless steel at work and rerouted the coolant hoses
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto336.jpg
much better!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto337.jpg

i always hatet the look of the boost pipe across the bay so i rerouted that too
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto339.jpg

came a little close to the battery cable so i added some protecton to it...

bay looks much cleaner now
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/Foto338.jpg

also throw out some black hoses and swapped some more blue silicone in but its to little to show for now. next week i am going to exploit the stores for fitting hoses to get each and every black hose out of there:thumbup:

[otti]

hello guys!

IT FINALLY ARRIVED!!!
after 4months of waiting from (up front) payment to delivery my new custom made carbon fiber dash arrived, same guy who had made the knee bar made me this one too, cant wait to see it next time i go to berlin, on the second picture
there s one custom made thing that my aunt made for the man himself cromosexual. 100% german crafted quality :thumbup:

[jungli81]

[otti]

@paul, cant wait to go on tour again! specially with you as my snorking passenger!lol

@knarfmk1, weights about 1300g( less than 3 pounds )

@tjaap, only real stuff,no covered isht anymore.

@jungli81, thanks jim howis it going??

[Chromosexual]

hahahahahaha :D

[otti]

hello guys!

made it safely back the 2000km from bergen to berlin, took the same route i took with pauly.
the car ran like a champ all the way and i had zero problems
i only used 3x37lters of fuel to cover the distance, i was surprised :thumbup:
the car is at the shop again:
mount the dash
repaint the engine bay
mount scirocco radiator with twin spal fans
reduce the vac system
relocate the viper fluid container
braided stainless steel fuel lines with AN fittings
some small other things to clean the bay more

we will see how much this is gonna cost again :rolleyes:

[breadfan83]

That dash is pure sex!!

[otti]

finally an update from me!
first things are coming together,
out with the old shifterbox and console
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/CAE1.jpg

:thumbup: :thumbup:

[otti]

so the shop sended me some pics of the repainted engine bay and front mask/core support, you will eventually notice the frame horn plates that have been welded in.

i didnt want to have the notch taken out since my airfilter is in that area, just in case you wonder..
i also ordered some new highly customized strut mounts but i am unshure if they will arrive before we leave to the see..

anyway here the pics

[otti]

hello guys, engine is back in along with most of the other stuff, the strut mounts are still on their way...

when i meet the painter in real life i am gonna beat him like a sandsack:thumbdown:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_0132.jpg
but i love the dash and the shifter:eek:

shifter throws like 1inch from 1st to 2nd:what::screwy:wow
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_0134.jpg

bad thing is that the center console wont fit anymore, so i have to find a spot for the radio, any ideas??

[jungli81]

that is seriously intense Jens!!! great work!!

[desnelders]

i put mine in the glove compartment ;)

love the dash and the shifter! but why are you going to beat the crap out of the painter?

[otti]

i put mine in the glove compartment ;)

love the dash and the shifter! but why are you going to beat the crap out of the painter?


as you see there is no glove compartement in the dash!#

the bay only looks ok in the photo, you cant see the noses and paint runs
there are some really bad painted spots and he oversprayed the cables and the backside of the brakebooster as well as the steering coloum and boots.

but he wanted a lot of money up front(wich i payed), couldnt get it done on time and ruined the trip to wörthersee with pauly in the mk1 last year.
the quality is way worse than expected.

this year he had all the time to fix his fukc ups and the whole firewall looks like shit?? this why i get agressive :mad:

[desnelders]

in that case i can't blame you ;)

[Marcski]

i'd make a small box underneath or behind the seats for the radio..

stainless or alu doorcards would really finish it off imo

[J-9A-N]

i'd make a small box underneath or behind the seats for the radio..

I'm with Marc!
A small remote control at the back of the sunvisor wil make it almost invisible!

[otti]

i noticed that the outer cv joint needs to be replaced and had that done,the guys from the shop mounted the radio here

[OEM-Style]

Nice MK1 with Power :)

Netter Golf, komme auch aus Berlin, aber deinen 1er habe ick noch nie gesehen hier ;)

[otti]

liegt ja auch daran das ich meistens unterwegs bin...

car is parted and awaits its 3rd evoloution, engine build, repaint everything, overhaul stuff, customize more, upholstery just about everything is going to be done over and i will change the look as well.

note: since just about everyone who thinks is scene (mostly these people are not) tells me to take off bumper and skirts (which are there for a reason) i will chnage the style to more oem like.

BUT

if anyone tells me to lower it more i will start a f+§$=# fistfight!

yes my controll arms are straight, yes my suspension actually works, no i am not going to put air in the car and yes i dirve 15000+km a year in bucket seats. and thats it. my car my rules my style my problems my money, we will see how that turnes out what i have in mind for the car.

[otti]

so it was my bithday yesterday and my girlfriend took the plane to visit me wich was incredibly awsome, so was that package wich arrived in the morning!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_4596.jpg
its a comlete kit with hoses and everything(not in the pic) and the first parts i ever bought for my car in norway. was reasonable cheap for what i want because all the other kits contain more stuff i dont need because i already got them so the usual gt28 kit goes for 4500$us but that kit i bought was only about 1700$ wich is actually pretty cheap.
here another pic!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_4597.jpg
the exhaust manifold is already portmached from the guy i bought it from wich is pretty awsome, i think i may polish the inside a little more to get less turbolence and resistance from it...

also my buddy in the us got me this phenolic spacer wich adapts my intake mani (big port) to my head (small port) and keeps the temperature away from the intake manifold.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/IMG_4561.jpg

i think this needs an update. looks like the shelf is full!

new parts arrived today.

Integrated crank bolt ARP
Integrated rods
Integrated timing tensioner delete kit (i already have the belt)
Integrated valve guides (not sure if they needed but was requested)
Integrated coil pack adapters
Ferrea Superalloy exhaust valves (from Integrated)

now, this thought just came to me. all red billet gear (you know, Jens, that Integrated makes a nice billet fuel rail in red ;) ) white engine/bay, and blue car. GO AMERICA!!!!! ?!?!?!?!?!

what do you think, engine gearbox is going to be white, should i go white or blue valvecover? :confused:

[Marcski]

engine bay stays white? i say blue

[otti]

thats the thing, bay will be resprayed white and engine/gearbox as well, i am afraid that it would look to plain, on the other hand it would make the anodized billet parts just pop out even more.

i am still undecidet, boath US and SA say to go white, will i do the opposite?

[Marcski]

than go with white, that way you can always choose to respray it in blue

[otti]

than go with white, that way you can always choose to respray it in blue

had a little time for some privat work today and smoothed the channels of the manifold, portmatched the turbo flange and got the mashine shop guys plan the flange to 1/100 of a mm, i hope that helps.

fits right behind the kneebar and will be completely invisible later.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/autoelektrik/IMAG0568.jpg
we are planning a hidden handbrake setup and the stereo under the seat to make the interior completely clean, still lots of work but i think it will make a big difference in the end, cant wait until we can get the engine build up going

[Chromosexual]

[Style]

Thanx it looks good ,am sure i will do it just like this there is no better solution for me.

the car is at the cooler builder who is going to make the custom exhaust as well

[Chromosexual]

whats new bro?

[Tjaap]

For electricity get some cheap solar panels at a camping store (for about 40 euro you have a decent one ) and score some old batteries.
It won't run your machines but it'll give you light and some music.

[Tjaap]

whats new bro?
I read on FB he became a father!! Congrats!!

dont worry about the hole where the intercooler piping goes, this is the next step.... metalwork!

we changed plans and dump the alloy pipe to the intercooler for a stainless steel one so that we have the possibility to weld that into the frame and add some structural support.

i also cant wait to get my hands on her again because as you can see the inner fender was originally white, so much dust collected :puke:

[otti]

gearbox is blasted, and ready for paint!

hi guys, new clutch arrived and we put everything together and back into the bay for a final check if everything lines up and fits like we want.

and it does! the new clutch is a sachs performance unit and is supposed to hold 490Nm, i was scared that the old clutch will not be up for the task so i bought new.

also we decided to try to run the generator without a tensioner, we ordered 4 differend lenghts an will try!

pic for clicks
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/autoelektrik/motorraum1_zps62e57981.jpg

[Chromosexual]

i cant wait to see it done!

[otti]

hi pauly

so we will drop the belt tensioner and the generator will be powdercoated white!
i think with the red anodized generator wheel and fuelrail+ the red coilpacs this will pop in your face!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/autoelektrik/motor4_zpse19e6b53.jpg

[Chromosexual]

pop in my face like....

?v=WrjU_nf84PY

seems like i cant make it to wörthersee with the car, i kept pushing as hard as i could but noone here in germany seems to want to buy my parts i took of the engine/car so i can either found the tuning or the trip but not boath :(

[evilnyntje]

Jens, will you be ready for Volksdub this year?

[otti]

i certaintly hope so, i think the drive will just be too long for me to make it. i live right at the polish border. could you please link me a map of the place? i will check out if it is possible to make it there. i will drive, if possible to the see wich is 1200km one way but there i would stay for a week. i dont know if i can justify a drive that far for a weekend. i dont have a trailer so i would have bucket seats if you know what i mean...

[otti]

hi guys

i am still alive. after splitting up with the woman i came to germany for and having to pay alamony for 2 kids in 2 countrys now you may understand why my isht is moving so slow that even snails overtake with lightspeed.
had to move to a single bedroom flat and buy all furniture :bang:

today i could cross a thing from the to do list!
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/ottzilla/mein%20golf%20rabbit/autoelektrik/11046515_953975147993336_793946037280084091_n_zpsnei0e5iw.jpg

i wanted them since the bosch ones are really dated in design and performance but them genesis injectors are fresh and much better to tune. i was researching quite a lot and the us scene states they are way better than the rest. a smooth idle and loads of torque is what i want and those seem to be first choice. at 75 euros shiping costs from the usa to germany i had them at my door after only 10days!

things left to do
-metalwork engine bay
-paint engine bay
-having some parts carbon layered
-unshure if my fuel pump is up to the task?!
-tune
-mot
-beeing ready for wörthersee ´16

not many things but all of them are expensive, i am working 90 hour weeks atm.

any interrest in crowdfunding??
:lol:

[otti]

hi guys
i had vacations and wanted to meet with the man himself chromosexual in europe but unfortunately that didnt work out. instead of sitting at home i decided to take the bus to Bavaria and visit some friends and my flipping car!!!
