Just a minor update, the manifold did eventually arrive , it was posted November!!.Its a BAM engine manifold so the throttle body can be mounted over gearbox, it was too tight drivers side. Bam isnt bigport though so i either have to cut the runners off and join up with the Bam tank or use adapter gasket, i got next to no room for spacer so might be manifold fabrication. Anyway Engine mount ordered and will be using the fabia diesel one as before mentioned and turning a Mk3 gearbox mount upside down with another plate on an eccentric so i can move stuff around till im happy with posi. Im seeing now that a left hand drive one would have been awesome as there is tons of room pass side for the master cyl and bugger all on the drivers side, its so close to the tappet cover. That will have to be addressed because im sure there will be a fair bit of flex on the engine so thinking about that before i commit to its final posi. Ive Had zero time of late but have been back in the shed and its on again, must admit ive been close to ditching it but would kick myself so dont care how long it takes now

Whenever you get tired of working on it just imagine how shi**y you will be in a few years time without it.

And make yourself a good cup of coffee. Everything looks better with a hot cup in your hand.

Cheers and thanks for the updates.

Just come across this Jimmy. Looks like you been having fun whilst I have been away. Seems like you have addressed most of the issues. You could consider a late polo GTI inlet manifold which comes out drivers side but straight not kinked.
Should be a weapon when it's done.

Yeah mate loads of fun, and ill have more time soon as you will probably read on here too. Anyway, the 9N3 from the BJX is small port pal, the AGU is bigport and i dont really have room to use adapter plates, looks like ill be using AGU runners and BAM tank, the throttle coming out at the right spot. Dont worry progress soon. Few cars i had now shifted along with more time coming should be sweet, just to add im using the recaros in my VR6 now, so im in the hunt for another set or maybe even a set of seats from a 9N3
Cheers
