84 mk3 estate update 27/2/08

[Guest jeroentje cos]

Yeps .

 

Last suterday i bought my old RSturbo back. Sold it 2 years ago. Or something like that. And now bought it back. It has been to long for me without a turbo . But don\'t have big plans for it. Just make it ready for the MOT here and get it a bit rust and dust free So hope you missed me Here some pic;s of the RS in better times and how it looks now .

 

How it is now

 

My nice scorpion system i bought

And some rust

Engine bay is just sad

 

The RS in better day\'s

 

But one good thing. I had a old type RS recaro interior. But the last owner bought a full 90spec interior for it But that needs a good clean to

Well tbh don't have time anymore I am having a son in a few months so i needed a turbo that excualy drives The Estate is still in the build. But since i need a good family car its going to be a std 1.6 EFI now. (for now) It needs to drive to norway next year in oktober for my vacation in Hemsedal.The 1.8 ZT isnt working. The fez whas realy but realy rotten. Didn't see that comming. Its chopped in pieces and think its transformed in a new battery or something No big plannes with the RSt to. Just fix it and turn the boost up to 0,9 bar. So i can do some nice driving . Hows your ZVH going?

[Fezworth]

that engine bay is screaming for a ZT mate

Want me to build you one, or a zvh?

could prepare a short block to be picked up next summer?

A little update. The car has still no MOT and will not happen this year.  But i ordered some new gauges from VDO. oil temp,oil press,turbo press,Water temp, fuel press (under the hood) and some other gauges. THey cost me a little fortune but it will look nice.  I don't have them at home but they look like this :

Well prepared the RSturbo for his new bits today. i allready have a Stage 3 T3 turbo and just waiting for a new radiator and bigger intercooler i have them at home next suterday (i hope).

My little co driver:

This is how it looked standing still for 2 months and before i started ripping parts from the car

The bits that needed to put on. But no time and it was so damn cold.

Removed some parts:

Found some rust. On both sides:

This was cooling the RSt for a few days:

The radiator. Very bad

Looking sorry for it self

 

Next sunday i will instal a new rockercover gasket,waterpump,turbo,intercooler and rad.

 

Nice little detail

[Morti89]

Oooh! There you bought it. Same place that I'm bying from.

But i'm getting this one: https://secure.encryptedspace.com/autospeci...etail&p=515

[Guest jeroentje cos]

yeah wanted to buy that to. But as i am not going to run 300BHP i don't need it

[Morti89]

Damn! That much! What's gonna be the specs?

I'm gonna run 200-230bhp

[Guest jeroentje cos]

I think you misread. it says i am NOT going to run 300 bhp so therfore i don't need the big one. The "smaller" one is good for 200+

[Morti89]

Sorry my mistake

[Guest jeroentje cos]

i forgive you hehe

Winter in Norway is not the the best place to work on cars outdoor hehe
