Progress of the intake manifold..

My english sucks big time,so the pics will tell..

11/26/2007

Finally finished with the intake manifold,the throttle housing flange got a bit out of position,but it doesnt hit the hood so **** it

Also got the KW V3 inoxline suspension in the mail some days ago

10/1/2008

Finally,the engine is finished

4-pot Brembo with 305x28mm discs from Seat Cupra R.Custom made brackets in CAD..

And some more parts:

2 new Recaro Speed seats,price almost 4000$ here in Norway  

Bosch 044:

CAE-Racing shifter

Compomotive MO 8x16

Complete gearbox overhaul + new Peloquin differential

Alu,flywheel with SPEC Stg.3+Carbon plated and strengthened pressure plate 700+NM

I am using a 02A transmission from an 1990 Passat TD with AFF gearbox code, with CCM VR6 3,39:1 Final ratio..

Got a Peloquin differential for this also..I am using this gearbox cause the 3 first gears are higher geared than the VR6 CCM trans,and will be more useful on trackdays

Here are some pics of the dismantling and the overhauling:

Pretty dirty:

All bearings out

Pretty much corrosion on the housing:

Glassblasted:

Shifter mechanism:

****ed up plastic bearings...

Made new ones in nylon:
