i might be going with a few of my mates, just depends if ive got the money
stainless steel 4-2-1 manifold is going on this friday, then the fuel mixture and whatever is getting sorted as it is running rich as hell

ah i see, it'll depend on how much my car is going to cost to repair, im hoping its just the valve stem seals that needs fixing and the thermostat housing needs a new gasket, as its using oil and water, if its something like needing a new set of rings and head gasket then i dont know :-/

car is fixed, stainless steel 4-2-1 is fitted, also running on the correct fuel mixture and whatever now :) will give the engine bay a good clean this weekend and upload some pictures
only problem now is the bloke that fixed my car recons the exhaust system is choking it from the cat back, so he said he will custom make me a 2.25 inch straight through with a road legal baffle so its not too loud :) hopefully will be getting done when i next get paid

will have a major update sometime next week as my engine is knackered, one of the coolant pipes was being held on by basically nothing, which got blown off due to the water pump being knackered.
so my car overheated warping the head, blown the head gasket, now theres a variety of white blue and black smoke coming out of the exhaust, pistons rings seem basically dead, valve stem steals im guessing are knackered, also the pistons are probably glazed over due to it overfueling for too long.
so ive bought a rebuilt gsi engine :) will take pictures next week
