This week whilst working on various cars in the Werkshop, Chris our resident painter has been tweaking some of the panels on a golf Mk5 GTI. We have had this car through our doors a few times in the past,previous mods include KW suspension, G-werks Carbon air intake, G-werks Remap and a Milltek exhaust system. This appointment was for body work. We had decided to detail the car with some gloss black details including mirrors,ed30 front splitter, Roof panel and more. Oh and we also decided to fit a new set of wheels to give the car a really fresh look. Let us know what you think..
OK so we didn’t get the whole job finished in the 3 day deadline we set ourselves due to waiting for the gearbox to come back from rebuilding…
In our last post we had completed the preparation in the engine bay, we had also fitted the new peddle box, Gear shifter and wiring loom. This last part of the project was inserting the engine coupled with wiring everything up and bleeding all the fluids through. After fighting with the shifter tower for a while Im pleased to say that Ben turned the key and the engine fired into life straight away. Happy Days, tomorrow is shake down, set the timing and fuelling and then wash/wax the car ready for a Saturday collection. OK so not quite 3 days but 4 and a bit to do a full conversion to a factory level with everything working and running in the region of 250bhp isn’t that bad is it…?
As most of you will know we have been supplying these for quite a while so are probably thinking ‘what’s new?’. Well, on top of the 3 mounts already in the set (front & 2 gearbox) we can now supply you with the 4th mount for the cambelt side.

As ever our Mk1 Golf Stainless Steel 8v systems have been as popular as they were the first day we started putting these up for sale. So much so, we only have a few of these systems left so we thought we’d remind all you guys who have been sitting on these, now is the time to get your hands on one as were offering FREE shipping!!
Take a look below and Ill think you’ll agree these are one of the best looking systems available for the Mk1 and naturally the looks are backed up with performance.
So why wait…? At only £329.99 they wont hang around!
Day two… well this is always the part of the project when all those jobs you’ve been putting off from the first day really need doing as without them you wont be getting that engine in anytime soon. Jobs like converting the peddle box to a hydrualic unit, running the new cable change shifter you know the kind of jobs that you really love to hate.. Well Ben took all of these in his stride today, as well as fitting the new lightened flywheel / Clutch to the rebuilt G60 engine along with the 4 branch manifold and serviced G60 charger. All that were waiting for now is the arrivial of our freshly rebuilt o2a hybrid gearbox and the engine will be ready to be plumbed in..
Ok, so it’s not VAG related, but it has got boost, so that’s fine by us. And it’s cooler than cool. This is an old clip taken from the superb Best Motoring series of DVDs. The super-responsive Mines R34 GTR Skyline is legendary, and, after watching this clip, you’ll see why. Enjoy.
OK so I know they were available before if you shipped them over yourself, But you can now take the stress out of wondering what the exchange rate will be and if the friendly man from UPS will hand you a nice customs charge when he knocks at your door with your box of goodies as We are pleased to announce that we are now the only UK distributor of Mason-tech products.

As an opening offer we are going to run a group buy on a few of there parts we will hold this offer open until the end of November to allow delivery in the 2nd week of December. What better stocking filler could there be?
The products we will be offering in the group buy with pricing as follows, GREAT PLATES These take care of the age old problem found on VW’s mk2, mk3, mk4 and Corrado models. When lowering the rear of the car with an aftermarket suspension, the rear trailing arms begin to swing toward the front of the car pushing the rear tires into the front area of the wheel opening. When this happens, tire clearance is severely reduced.
GREAT PLATES sandwich between the front trailing arm mounting brackets and the body to relocate the entire axle approximately 13mm rearward. Installation is very simple and can be completed in the garage or driveway with a jack, jack stands and a few hand tools in under an hour.
Each kit includes pair of GREAT PLATES (L & R) and new Grade-8 hardware!

The brief was simple with this one. Install a 1.9 G-werks G60 engine into a mint Oak Green 1990 Mk2 golf. Here’s how it began. First up, sell the engine from Ben’s Dad’s Golf to make way for his new 20vt set up. The G60 had barely any miles on it whatsoever, so the new buyer was getting a great deal. When he asked us to fit it in for him we were delighted, but due to a tight schedule planned for finishing the ongoing 911 Project (awaiting a base map) we would, as always, need to work fast. The plan was hatched: Three days from start to finish? No problem! Ben took a few pictures of his progress on day one and all we can say is that he’s on schedule at the moment!
The bay is now steam cleaned and polished while the new loom has been installed and all existing loom that’s staying has been re-wrapped. Tight work, huh? More to come on day 2…
