[Housey]

[Ronal Syncro]

Brought it home – to hoover and clean it (it having stood for 6 months)

Now just need to fit ball joint – and find a rear shocker and then back to MOT!!!!!

[Housey]

just started it.. sitting in it oh, and popped a side window back on

figured out what I need next: fuel hose!

[re2]

thought about moving it into the garage but couldnt work out where to put all the stuff thats in the garage
: (

[ld50]

measured up fuel hose…also needs some hoses on the fuel-pump itself replacing

[Housey]

been driving and thats just about all i’ve done havent even opened the hood. no problems at all

[ld50]

something many syncro owners aspire to

[re2]

what do you mean aspiring to driving??! Its been that long with mine, that even aspiration has gotten very dusty over time
lol

[ld50]

lol xD

actually – though my progress has been glacial, I think I’m only a few bits of hose and some plugging in away from being able to test it on the 16v….

[re2]

well, it made it into the garage today, but i couldnt find space for all my crap, so theres a huge pile in front of the car

[Housey]

i havent even been to the garage these last days. i’m getting lazy i guess. or just need a break from cars for a few days i’m sure i’m back on the syncro tomorrow

Today I fitted new spark plugs, BRISK LR15YS Silver [:0] Set the gat to .9mm
Seems to make idle smoother and better starting, I recon they are a good upgrage if running high octane fuel (alcohol).
I have been using Bosch super 4, havn’t done many miles on them but did notice the gap between each piont was slightly different. I would think they should wear together ? Maybe this is why some people think NGK are better.

Anyone got there opinon on plugs ?

[ld50]

nothing on the syncro but re-built one front jacking point on the missus’ gti today. Rest of the car is mint but the front jacking point on both sides was lookign a bit swiss. Anyhow I re-built it out of 2mm so it’s nice and sturdy – got the other side to do tomorrow…my arms are killing me xD

Also testing my new bilt-hamber electrolux super-zinc anti-rust paint…

re syncro: Got an appointment with a fuel hose person sometime next week or thereabouts to get nice braided hoses so I can finally connect the new motor up.

@EDDY no idea re spark plugs – i think my 16vs run ngks and the VW ones cos they were the ones to be had on ebay.

Today I went out and watched people trying to pull away from junctions. I also tweeked the timing and mix scew on the carb.
I am now wondering if i shoud buy some winter tyres but then the wee Golf is good for doughnuts and still pulls nice with standard tyres !!
