Fixed some more engine problems, tracked it all down to the Lamda Sensor being faulty. So replaced that, and cleared the fault on VAGCOM.

Runs soooo much nicer now, and the car responds much better and sounds stronger too. Well happy!! Very Happy

Also browsing the net i came across some pics of KAT...

my misses doing a grand job at Volksfest 09 Laughing

The Inlet manifold and Cam cover are no longer bright red as i thought it looked a bit silly, so they are now done gloss black instead. Makes the bay look much neater. Smile

CAR IS ALSO NOW FOR SALE. So see my ad in the forsale section Wink

The car is undergoing a makeover so expect to see some changes over the next year.

Firstly the red engine had to go. So the inlet manifolds and rocker cover are now gloss back.

Decided the car needed beefing up in the looks department, so smoothed, then colour-coded some GTI big Bumpers. They are usually black on the top and coloured bottom half but i thought i'd be different and colour code the lot.

.....now im not sure i like it Embarassed

Meet K.A.T. MK2 Golf VR6T - Page 11 Picture008-2
(note the bumper is only resting in there and not bolted up yet, hence why its wonky)

Meet K.A.T. MK2 Golf VR6T - Page 11 Picture013

I had to drill and use coach bolts to hold the metal frame to the plastic bumper as all the plastic clips had snapped. Rolling Eyes Also the bumpers werent in very good condition to start with and i must admit i didnt go too mad on the prep work. Neutral

I have also taken the Cage out so that i can re-weld new stronger mounts in, and also spray it the same colour green as rest of car.

Cheers guys. I put the final coats of base coat, laquer / hardner on the cage last night... looks awesome!! Gonna try and fit it tonight without scratching it as its a tight fit. eek!

Then need to make myself a rear strut brace to stiffen things up and also be able to mount my harnesses to it.

Cheers dude. Yeah i was really unsure if the colour coding would work or not, but i cant stand using back to black every week on bumpers to stop them fading. haha

It looks a lot better with the front bumper on, i will take some pics at weekend.
