Anyone have suggestions on getting the bottom intake manifold bracket on? I can't seem to get it on far enough. I got it on a little but not nearly enough....

Can you also tell me why supercars for the last 5 years don't even have manual transmission anymore?

because they are inefficient and dont let the car preform as intended due to driver error.. so thats why everything is duel clutch/dsg/ etc.

Are you trying to do the bolt or the nut?

Is there a brake pedal "free play" specification (Golf R)? I'm looking through my erWin PDF's and i don't see anything. I wish I'd measured before i did my new pads and brake lines.

But I swear it feels like it goes farther down before engaging. It's been bled, and the ABS was actuated to get air bubbles out. Perhaps it is just in my head.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes i did the bed in procedure yesterday.
They are Hawk HP Plus pads. I do believe they have a bit of warm up time to operate at full potential.

Even not warmed up, shouldn't my pedal not feel like it is traveling farther down before engaging? Perhaps that does have some affect with these pads. They are my first set of street/track pads.
