Firstly got to say a massive thank you you Gary and all the other pricks who helped out with the skoda. Wouldn't have gone back together so well?(or at all...) without the help. For anyone who needs something doing on any sort of car/van/bike, Gary is your man, located in Liverpool he's a top mech and plenty of users already know/use him. The website isn't up and running yet but give him a buzz, he's the one in the know and a lot cheaper than anywhere else!
Car now back together feels really tight, engine picks up a lot cleaner and it loves breaking traction in 3rd now which it never did before hand. Handling wise it's night and day, despite being on crap coilovers turns in really positive.
Work that was done
Rear ARB
Polybushed rear beam
New brake lines
Car fully undersealed
Engine out, box rebuilt
New Single mass flywheel and clutch conversion
Hi flow exhaust mani
Silicone hoses
Painted the motor and box and other bits and bobs
Deleted any uneeded vac hoses and bits
New scuttle panel
New Lambda sensor
Cleaned pick up pipe
R32 front ARB and polybushes
Full fluid and filter change
Bentley leather trimmed steering wheel
Graphics on the back door for a giggle....
Nuts bolts etc changed for new ones were needed
Amongst bits and bobs i've forgotten the car feel brand new!
quick tunnel vid, will be getting the go pro out soon for a few runs

Lee,
Is this Mapped?
Sorry for sounding like a noob, never had one of these
Im looking at getting mine mapped as the gains look quite good, is it worthwhile doing?

as for the wheel, which one is it you've got, if its a 3 spoke we have a spare to get trimmed to send you if needs be. mapping..yep its mapped but to go with all my bits. cant comment on a map on a standard one but from what i read its worthwhile!

few pics from the last month.
Car got 4 wheel aligned since the subframes and bushes had been done. wasn't a million miles off but its spot on now and handles a treat! the only thing letting it down now is the cheapy coilovers. Planning to track the car a few times this year/go the ring so will be looking into a better set up. Will also be ordering an S3 upper strut as that the only thing the bays missing. On the look for track rims/tyres too, ideally some R32 Reps as they're an 8"wide rather than a genuine 7.5", or another set of Ch's
Binned off some more junk from the bay too
bye
bit better
No adverse effects/CEL lights either.
Also had the wheels off to give them another coat of wax
All bufty.
When building the car back up the interior had gotten a little grubby so lent a vax and gave it a good going over. like new now!
Will be ordering a darker carpet once the weather clears up and binning the cream one off, only thing that lets it down interior wise.
Taxi decals have come off, was only for a giggle but may do another set for some shows, car got some funny looks/comments with them on...
More soon....

Did you leave the solenoid plugged in or remove it Lee?
I've been thinking about doing the same with mine, the ticking on idle does my head in, to the unsuspecting its easy to think the engine is tapping too loudly!
