'Glad' your head was as bad as it was, as it means when it is correctly refurbished, there will be a noticeable improvement.

Thanks for the update.

Got tired of my high HC values (200 range) at the anual MOT, took out the old cylinderhead and left it at my local repair guy, the cylinder was crackfree but the build-up on the valves was horrific, the valve guides was totally shot and had alot of play in them and steam seals hard as metal.

Cylinderhead off !



Also got my starter refurbished




had a spare for comparison, it looked quite good comparing to the one I left for refurb, but when I got it back today it was really nice and shiny, cost me only half of a exchange unit

Like like ! Looks really nice and sits well on these wheels. Nice stance you got there!

Thanks, it sits alot better with H&R springs, not too high nor too low as I want to be able to ride on bad roads, of course it could be a bit lower but then the problems starts...

Yeah the stance got real good with custom spacers Ive bought, 16mm in front with ET45 and 11mm in the rear ET45 (thue to narrower arches) the calipers as quite near the rims, around 1,5mm clearence

Ha, Lol i can understand that.My wifes a hairdresser and can i get my hair cut? No

When you get a chance to give her a detail and some pics will be great to see.

Got a chance to get it mild polished as I don´t really have the time was on a local car meet last weeekend... all the cool cars where on the otherside

[Vorsprung durch Technik]

Not for the moment, but I can fix to bad I havent polished it for 4 years, like a Swedish saying "shoemakers child"
Have worked with vehiclepainting / detailing and havent got around to do it more often, lol

Now I like the stance, and the springs are alot harder than the soggy eibach crap

Perhaps i get some time for the Albert turbo and injectorchange along with a remap.
Have got hold of a 7A head and a 2,5 block so perhaps in The near future there will be a proper motor to go with the car

Looking superb Wrath,any more pics of this beauty?

[hunker7]

Thanks. I've been going between poly or solid in my head but I think I'll go for solid after all with poly in control arms and arb with stock springs and b6 shocks.

[Wrath]

Cant say i have heard a bit, with this setup and eibach its no noise at all, with H&R springs it feels harder all over but it doesent sit on its tail anymore on acceleration and the noise you can hear is hardly noticeable. And I dont like noicy car a bit

[hunker7]

How is the noise and vibrationa with Thappus front solid subframe bushes?

[Wrath]

I have to say now when Ive got around 700km behind the Wheels this summer after fixing all the hickups i´m very pleased, the chassie feels really tight and along with Alberts bushing, Thuppus aluminium bushings and Bambridge delring bushings along with oem bushings (kind a hard to Think out where you should but soft/hard/harder and hardest bushing into the chassie to get the optimal feel and lowest noise) it feels Lovely, just some Power missing and hopefully i will get some spare time to install the new turbo and injectors. The house is getting along really good, have done alot to the main house (to long to list but plumbing, windows, kitchen, flooring, wall paper etc.) Have also changed the drain in the garage and done some Concrete work, just painting it with 2k polyurethan Concrete paint and the audi can get a new home...
