Lucas' Dragon Green GTI

[Feeine]

So as a few people know. i've got a 1.8t converted MKIV which i've had for some years now. after having a slight mishap on my way home from work last week. (snapped engine mount bolts) i have secured a new daily driver in order to finally build the mk4 i have always wanted.


here is a few photos to catch up on whats going on.

06A AUM 1.8T (will be used later on)





Sydney Dragway having fun


Anyway here is where im at (admiring my sexy cam cover to start with)





currently just removing A/C Lines tucking looms into inner guards and removing engine.






so gross under all the covers...




Ill be updated on progress slowly as i run out of motivation alot. (being a mechanic has its downsides )
heres my list of what i will be doing.


Engine wise.
- Rebuilt with forged rods/pistons
- GT3071R Or similar
- 06A Block with bigport AGU Head
- ME7 Ecu conversion

Drivetrain
- Waiting on new ECS Mounts
- Pelquin LSD?
- upgraded driveshafts (if anyone knows who make decent parts let me know)
- Clutch to handle sub 400hp.

suspension.
- New coilovers (KW?)
- Fit and paint 4 pot brembos.
- tubular control arms
- camber plates

Interior
- Half cage
- decent seats (Maybe some bride low max's?)
- CAE Billet shifter
- Stripped out, with the usual like steering wheel etc.

Exterior
- 17's with semi slicks
- Big **** off aero.
- Even bigger **** off wing
- More aero
- carbon wherever i can afford

Was running bigport head, k03s with stg 2 tune. Quickest run was something like 14.1 I'll be back there on the 23rd of this month! Look out for a purple wrapped SSV VF commodore.

As for eta. I'm only an apprentice mechanic so progress is slow. Hopefully be built by the end of the year atleast.

Whats the benefits of the 06a block?

Is the AGU block not a 06a?
