View Full Version : Getting Anal?
No, not the sexual kind, the other kind of anal, about every last friggin detail!
For some reason since ive fitted this 1.6 im getting all anal about ANYTHING under the bonnet being dirty and not shiny/chrome/polished
Yesterday afternoon, my mum was making pot 'o' tea so naturally i was in kitchen making a coffee, now as our garage is next to the kitchen, i got said coffee and mosied on into the garage to check on LHAura and just stand there peering into the engine bay. Out the corner of my eye i spotted a sheet of stainless steel, so naturally, me and LHAura got talking, and an hour later i ended up with a prototype stainless steel cover for an unmentioned engine part, looks top, fits a treat! So that was that.
This morning, my Roose Motorsport rad hoses arrived. Bonus. Got back from work, removed old ones, fitted new ones. Something was a miss. All the jubilee clips werent clean! So removed every last one, and polishd them on the linisher, refitted, looks kewl.
Anyway, 8pm tonigh, out the corner of my ear i hear the kettle, brew time me thinks, back downstairs, coffee in hand, staring into engine bay & thinking. An hour later, yet another stainless steel cover is born for yet another engine part!
Im sitting here thinking what i can now make next :tard:
Is anyone else as sad as me lol lol lol

And THEN, i added some spanky new chromed wing bolts, some chromed head light bolts, a stainless steel coil cover (meant for VW camper) and them more and more and more and then last few days some custom stainless steel covers for anything thats in the bay that i cant buy or get chromed i.e. plastic
then painted the bonnet cable bracket, and the little breather/presure thing next to the inlet manifold, and then went mental and got my fuel tank powder and rear ARB powder coated, and then sprayed the engine mount brackets and so on and so forth :S oh yes, and removed, re-sprayed and re-fitted the VIN plates haha
are you sad enough to remove the bonnet cable clip + screw and paint them?actualy i was going to do that but forgot :(, i will do tho. im more fussed about the paint work on mine, altho its just had a full respray im already planning another one, and ill keep painting it until it is how i want it

I was gonna fit it to my 1.6 but I dunno if I can be bothered now.
Send me a pm if you wanna buy it. :D

Quick question... How have you bolted the AFM to the inner wing? Need to do mine.

Quick Answer... with a bolt & bracket amazingly lol
EDIT: And yes, the bracket is powder coated too :thumb:
No need to be sarcastic! Wasn't sure if there's a proper bracket or you just make one up and drill a hole.

Well, ill explain what i done.
The uber good guys at K&N sent me a spanky new induction kit less then HALF PRICE :thumb: but it was meant for a non air flow equipped 1.6. So, had no plastic AFM mounting plate. Got the MiG out and made one, with the remainder parts (said bracket and some bolts) I bolted the longer end of the pre-made K&N bracket to the AFM, then bolted the circular bent end to the inner wing :thumb:
Hey presto. Got the lot supplied and fitted and still had change out of ?40 :thumb: lol
