My 3B to RS2 project

[Error404]

what have you killed in it?

[newsh]

Nothing dead, maybe a few bugs on the windscreen.. done some GBH to the tyres.. Just like running from 3 to 5k.

[Error404]

so no 911s disappearing rapidly backwards in the mirror just yet?

[newsh]

Mate, everything out there on the road went backwards tonight

Still dry inside?

Still dry inside?

Last time it rained there were a few drops in the driver's footwell, I think coming from the bonnet cable grommet, hopefully I've fixed this now but it hasn't rained since. I've picked up a black 3B carpet from Keith so I'm ready to go as soon as I'm certain its dry. Might get the hose pipe out tomorrow..

This thread is more than 7 years old now

"New" carpet has been "Shake and Vac'd" in readiness for tomorrow

@ Alex, when you fitted your new posh underlay, did you cut it to fit all the different levels on the floorpan?

[Error404]

I basically cut out the rotten bits of the factory stuff and replaced with the luxury liner, as i happened that was basically in the rough shape of a set of floor mats



Then I cut a couple of extra bits for the sides of the tunnel and the cross member either side of the front seat. Use a bit of carpet adhesive to stick it down mate

[newsh]

Cool cheers, I got a bit more complicated with it cutting to miss the wiring loom covers but basically the same, then I also put a set of old floor mats under there too as it seemed to need to be a bit thicker

Carpet is now in and trim replaced. Went for a drive, it certainly feels plusher and a lot less road noise.

The car feels like its properly back together for the first time in nearly 2 years!

[Error404]

I know that feeling, its a good one
The decent deadening & luxury liner definitely makes a difference to the comfort in the car, which I personally think is an important part of what these motors are all about

That sounds good, I am not jealous at all, a dry comfortable coupe, what a dream.

All the info is here mate, you can fix it, just takes a bit of time. See these posts..

Yup, that is on my to do list, just need time to do it/pull my finger out and do it.

Having sorted the phantom current drain, interior is now re-established

Changed the Forge DV for a 710N. Took it for a thrash

Exhaust is leaking from the flexi at the bottom of the 034 DP which will need to come off to fix it. As I've always thought the 034 system was a bit loud I've got another system which I bought from Keith which was on his ABY (ex Steviyid) which has a bigger more stock looking back box but I was hoping to use the 034DP and make one system out of the 2. (and hopefully have a system left over to sell)

DV swap

What was your reason for swapping the Forge for VAG?
