End link bushings and sway bar for the front. Trying to stiffen it up some. Might also try to fabricate a lower tie bar and fill my engine mounts to reduce engine rock. Sounding like a lot to do in a week though :\

sounds good (and time consuming)! lol

lower tie bar?
maybe a cheapo engine torque damper can work for the engine rock, how are you gonna fill the mounts? urethane?

3m window weld. Did it on my old gti many years ago. Lower tie bar to reduce flex in the subframe. These cars supposed to be a little soft.

how's it going Pete? I started way more work than I should have this week. kinda skating on my ass now trying to reassemble and align.

brake pads, fluid, oil cooler and a good clean out, inside the car like a dust museum.

oil cooler is real ketch ass to find the simplest way to mount, route and direct airflow. lots of scrapping to make room and reroute electrical sheit.

Took off the front sway bar yesterday, bushings were a little busted. This new poly one has a bracket that had to be modified a bit to get it to work and I did that but just need some washers now. Should put it back up today. If I have time I'll take off the rear links and put in those poly bushings too.

good to hear you're making progress. hope to get to change all your busted bushings in time man.
I'm still stuck mounting the oil cooler up, everything kinda on hold until I sort that out. still have to wire the oil pressure gauge as well.

I wanted to fill the mounts with urethane but even if I take them off now, they take a couple days to dry and I don't have time later in the week to put them back on. So I'll just be bleeding the brakes and that's it, was still feeling a little spongy when I took the car for a spin yesterday.

Apparently tire rack has a break in period to get optimum grip and life from the tyres. I did maybe.. 30km on mine.

time to throw away that heavy oem gas tank and shed some weight..baffled internals means you can get away with minimal gas in the tank also.
