Passed the MOT and it's now taxed too. Took it out tonight. Put it this way, those changes I made to the inlet length were well worth it. It feels like a little rocket now!

They did have a close look at what had been done.
Is the gear change in the GTI always notchy and slightly stiff at times? It's been so long since its been driven I've forgotten what it was like. Maybe some new linkages could be needed.
I reckon it goes better now at 4.5k rpm than it did at 6k rpm before.been wondering what a GTI 180 engine with a ported head and my cams would be like. Higher compression and bigger valves with a stronger bottom end could be interesting.

The gear change is never the best, but generally once the box & oil come up to temperature there is no issues. When was the oil changed last? There quite fussy when it comes to oil & age/spec.
Will you take it anywhere to have the map tweaked at all?

Oil was last done in 2012 which was less than a thousand miles ago.
I would like to get the mapping looked at. It's not perfect especially from cold and occasionally I can hear it spitting through the throttle bodies.

Ooh what's this....? Box out of a 2007 Picasso with the 4.76 ratio final drive. Cost me £75 + postage. Peugeot dealers want £500 for the crown wheel and pinion now!

Big strip down is starting this weekend. Gearbox is coming out and then the engine will be removed to change the Cambelt and locate the source of the oil leak that's been there since Ecosse had it apart.
The shorter final drive will be going in the gearbox and I'm going to fit a lightened flywheel too.
