Congrats on passing the MOT

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.

Will you take it anywhere to have the map tweaked at all?
#1147: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 4:28 am ---- 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.

#1152: Re: Project sleeper Author: Nic_206, Location: cleaning the carPosted: Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:33 pm ---- Looks amazing as ever mate! We are still waiting on these videos though
#1154: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Oct 05, 2016 4:19 pm ---- 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!
#1155: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Oct 22, 2016 6:28 am ---- 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.
