thats expensive oil right there, then a cheapo filter

few people with VE's have blown the seals out of the cheapo oil filters causing them to leak pretty badly....

Once the rear beam bush has burnt out is there a metal sleave to remove?

Nah, the instructions tell you to leave it in, just use a knife to clean out all the old rubber first

[craiGTi]

as far as poly engine mounts i haven't noticed much in the way of vibrations at all tbh, not like the solid metal crap one i had before. That on its own was worse than a full set of polys imo

 

[Sam]

front and rear is fine for vibrations hardly feel anything, shit gets worse when you are on coilovers and have all 4 installed

 

[Sam]

oh and pull the pollen filters out i bet they are GRIM

 

[Hally]

Only had time to fit the bush.. Shifting feels ace now anyway hence why I didn't keep the car another day just to fit that bracket.

The CS shifter bracket makes a big difference. I noticed more transmission noise in the cabin though.

 

[mera red gti]

[craiGTi]

[almera-steve]

Now I found a few Problems whilst messing..
The First being...

No Brake line clips.
That was rectified:

[5Zigen_Eddie]

ooo shit... gona check my BC's still got them otherwise its down to the scrapheap

 

[Sam]

I had one missing passenger side

 

[almera-steve]

were they all goodridge?

 

[VZ-AAAH]

Thanks for all the comments and feedback people.

Oh yeah P.S.... Enjoy it man.. car's feeling a whole lot better to drive with a functioning clutch.
This whole thing has motivated me to fit my bushes after feeling the tightness and mega response of the steering after the Bushes were fitted.
Joe

Thanks Joe, it really is like driving a different car, its much quicker getting up the revs and into vvl. The clutch is beautiful to use and actually functions. Reverse has stopped crunching, Whoop!

The handling is the best its ever been with very tight precision. Driving around pot holes has never been so fun. The white-line bar has made a big difference too and I'm taking corners quicker with more accuracy. (Shame about the shite weather again).

Very thankful to Joe for his time, knowledge, effort and for some tender ALC action.
(P.S. Your Bud was in Bals car, Doh! )

Had this one lying about so thought what the hell. Hope it holds out. :slap:

Changed these last year and yeah they were filled to the extreme :shit:

lol, I can assure you Craig, the fees were very, very reasonable. After all the cowboys I've had working on my car it was a major relief to have Joe work on it. (I infected him with sick, strange VVL thoughts):tt1::VVL:

They're Hel lines Steve.
