BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Ouch! That really sucks Colin :( I'm sure you will re-build it and make it even better than before! Are you gonna do any headwork since it's going to need a rebuild anyway?

Not sure yet, gotta look into it, make phone calls, find pricing, re check my empty wallet and just think about what I'm going to do. Considering a stroker kit, not sure just yet though, doing valves, rods, and pistons for sure......

Ouch, looks like you are acting quick on the repairs though!

Wanted to get it apart and examine, if there was no damage, new belt and tensioner and I would have been set to go after tuesday.

Hate to see those things happen, as I've been down that road before.

Best of luck on the rebuild!

Thanks!

Jeez Colin, hope to see it running soon bud.

Working on it, looking like it wont be till next year, but its going to be a beast I think.

Hey,

Sucks to be you, trust me when I say "been there, done that" here's hoping on a speedy recovery. Good luck and remember "Everything happens for a reason" race car.

Valves, pistons, con rods, valve springs&retainers. This way you can completely build the motor for higher RPMs to take advantage of a bigger turbo down the road. Then swapping cams out is easy later.

My head just blew on my Jetta a few weeks ago as well. Seem's to be a pattern.

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Looks like I'm just going to make it so I can drive it for another month or two before winter, automatic sucks.

I picked up an AEB head and some other maintenance parts and stuff, looks like I might be working on it a little over the weekend.

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Nice. I still wanna get a look at your raders in person. Think you will have it at the next meet?

[BaggedGLI]

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

I guess I never updated.

As most know its running again, i've been driving it every nice day we have, new wheels are on the way, and parts are flooding in from all over North America and Europe (Thanks Pat!).



Wheels are a planned delivery for Thursday. Picking up more things from the post office today, picked up some yesterday.

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Going to cut both trunks apart and create 1 super dooper 04+ Euro trunk?

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

Considered it but seems like risky business to me. I got an e46 m3 lip spoiler for it instead.
Or maybe I should take my other non GLI trunk lid I have and do something a little bit out there?

Same, can't wait to see it done!

Re: BaggedGLI - The Rebuild

You're lucky I didn't try to make off with that trunk, it's pretty damn nice. I think the E46 spoiler will add a clean touch.
