Non-Stop 3b upgrade

[Jonas_R]

as today was one of my best days with the coupe.... look what i found in the mourning....




downpipe cracked¡¡¡¡ this is the one we bought some years ago tanks to Jonas R in swedem

:

I only helped out with that group buy But it is kinda bad that is has broken already. Maybe you should buy one from 034MS and get it modified so it fits. Mine has last 6 years and counting.

Regarding the gearbox then no parts please, but I'm open for offers.

and now...due to the HOT in the engine bay.....










i managed to solve the problem i re-fitted again the bmc filter .....thanks to this i could destroy the gearbox at the night



so :

1- i have to buy and install another gearbox
2- i have to buy another new BMC 90mm cone filter
3- i have to repair or buy another 3" downpipe (good chance to put screamer pipe as i failed in love with the competition one )

i am also "tired" with the 80 Competition and its continue "still work to do" ,having since the beginning SERIOUS iddle problems....and after used 2 TPS and 3 iddle valves....i am a bit desperated more than iddling is mostly whem i release the accelerator pedal at low revs....
i have to tell that VAGCOM does not says anything....got both cars with 0 faults

i am starting thinking about to remove the whole coupe stock engine + gearbox....(i have to remove the box ANYWAY ...and put on it tne Competition engine +RS4 box...everything together....with also OF COURSE,the downpipe....

the coupe has the same wiring harness so it should dont be a problem...and maybe i could solve the misterious iddling problem?¿

Maybe you should buy my refurbished 6-speed gearbox

dont make me tempted

are you open to offers or trade with parts?


i am a "bit" dissapointed with the new gearbox removal and now...i really can drive the coupe....but i lost the 3rd and 5th gears...because i cant shift them and also while driving in the town carefuly the box makes some weird noises

today is a happy day

I have eaten my second gearbox .I'm stopped with the coupe in my testing road.

3 gear died at 6500 rpm and 1.6 bar

Nice! Those wheels suits very well. But... that trailer hook is quite freezing.

Rims swap done !

some " upgrades"

So you haven't sold the seats ? =] Oh my , there are so tight if you drive them all day.

Hey Vadim, I have them with me and the longest travel I did was 10 hours non stop since Poole in Uk to my town .stoping every 2-3 hours. They are much more comfortable than they looks

does someone knows these cars?

[Rocco]

..

[Rocco]

in one parking near to my english school in Poole Road
i was impressed there...what amount of nice cars and cabrios in England compared with Spain....

[Rocco]

i think that is quite common. I wonder if there is a facebook or similar forum for wifes/ GF of ours that go in and write about us while we spend all this time at the cars...

i always look at it this way: i dont drink/watch football/go to the pub with my mates as most others do, but i use that time on the car. What's wrong with that?

haha

i dont want to know how many hours have you spent only playing and tuning with VEMS ....only

about me,i would like to have 40 hours/day at weekends for can do everything i would like to do... because i like : play/work on the car,Play street fighter games,stay quietly with GF and the best of all...go to the pubs and drink with my friends (of course IF is possible WITHOUT GF)

i understand you Vas
