Simon's 4-Motion Bora VR6

Fitted my R32 Steering wheel (reupholstered), my R32 cluster (Full FIS Screen), and my R32 mats. All I need now is some R32 seats!

Engine is coming along nicely. Waiting for exhaust manifold to get back from extrude honing/ porting. Also found metal shavings on the gearbox plug, so that is in the process of being pulled down.

Also managed to score myself a new racecar project. MKIV R32 LHD import. Thanks to Seb at Euro Automotive!

Gearbox has been stripped down.
Turns out 1st, 2nd and 3rd syncros were on their way out, as well as most of the bearings.
While the box is apart, I went to the liberty of ordering some taller gears

DRW 02M gears and final drive from a UK TDI Golf.
110km/h at 6500rpm in second or 1900rpm in 6th, 300km/h at 5300rpm in 6th.
Should be suited very well to the newly found hp and my R32 300km/h instrument cluster

Also will throw an LSD in while it is apart.

Is it in yet?

Not yet! Getting there!

Recieved the exhaust manifold back from extrude honing. A lot smoother! They also repaired a hairline crack that was found after testing.

Sent the exhaust manifold, intake manifold and rocker cover off to bed ceramic coated. Hopefully should recieve that back somtime this week!

Recieved the gearset for my gearbox. Going to need to get another 1st gear sent, as on closer inspection, the hardening has started coming off and the gear has started going rough! So now I have to wait for that

So much outsourcing and waiting but I will get there in the end!
