Coogs multifaceted fleet

[Ruairi83]

Haven’t actually spent too much on it. Has been a great buy

Had my suspicions about pump for a while now but hadn’t really got round to doing anything about it

Only thing really it could be, TBH! Nothing left to replace in there! You'll have it sorted and will hear the words, "give her the guddie daddy again!" lol

Getting them rattled out now.

Swift in for rear pads and a new radiator. Following the general theme of doing things more than once, I had the radiator out for the manifold. Stuck it in then it annoyed me I didn't just replace it with a new one at the time.

And a custom, highly effective cold air feed. Yeah that's going to do jack....

And a quick clean

Kirkistown on 13th August then off to Anglesey at the end of the month with a few fellow RMS'ers

T-Met at this rate. Had this earlier today

Think it’ll need an upgraded HPFP.

I’ve a stock pump with Autotech internals from my s3 sitting if you want to try it in the car?

It was removed due to low fuel pressure but didn’t determine whether it was the pump or the internals but I have the stock internals as well.

Worth a shot if you want to try

Flip that might be the job. Does it need remapped after changing the pump?

Flexi was blowing on the GTI which is enough of an excuse to get this in the bin (or on Facebook marketplace at least).

So far just have the down pipe with new flexi on. Needs some new mounts and the rest of the system built / bought. And a new rear valance because my existing one has two holes in it.

Will be so much better without that terrible exhaust

New genuine rear valance isn't too dear, I ended up buying one recently as I'd already changed side skirts, grilles, badges and front splitter so trying to keep it all equally new looking.

Where'd you get it from?

Their postage times can be a little slow but not too bad most of the time.

Cheers will take a look. Not in any rush. Trying to pace myself this year

If you're stuck you're welcome to my old one once I take it off the car to change.

Cheers but I’ve ordered a new one and all.

For anyone that doesnt already know, Harpic cleans up stainless. Im reusing the old cat pipe so gave it a quick clean before installing

Exhaust in

Waiting on the new valance arriving then that’s that job done.

System sounds decent enough so should keep me going for a while.

So much better without the quad exit.

Agreed. It bothered me but not to the point I was going to change it just due to aesthetics.

Going to try to sell the old system. Can't wait to see how that goes

Looks great Craig!! Really makes a massive difference to the look of it. Such a tidy Mk5 as I said to you at that coffee morning at @Mr.Mint ’s place.

And yea a lift does seem like the bee’s knees! Lol. @Laundrymike really needs to get his finger out and get one for the shed!!

 

[Ian A]

Look forward to the gumtree eejit thread being updated lol

Superb upgrade Craig on MK5 exhaust.

you mean 4 reek / popcorn faces

 

[Coog]

Has been a lot worse smells than Harpic up at the workshop.

 

[Blackie]

I can’t stop looking at your pipes!!

 

[Coog]

Quick vid. Didn’t want to rev the balls off it

 

[Lappintyre]

That sounds perfect!

Are you changing out the rear valance for a standard one? (Maybe missed that somewhere already )

Yes it's on the way. I'll sell the old valance with the exhaust.

Hopefully the new valance doesn't start a plastics replacement snowball type situation.

.... Goes off to buy some Harpic
Excellent!! Never heard of that one before. I've been wanting to clean up the evo's exhaust system for a while. Will definitely give this a try Thanks
