Hi All

I’ve always wanted to do like a little project diary so to speak but never got round to it in the past plus I don’t really use the computer much so it’s all abit new to me, Ok so I’ve finally got Photo bucket set up after a couple of hours trying to get through while at work so I'm good to go.

Ok so here’s where it begins, I picked up a 6N2 GTI late last week as shown below (Big Thanks to TurboDaily for coming along to view the car and giving me the nodd),

Car was completely standard to begin with, I'm going to be carrying out a few mods but nothing tooo special as I’m only looking to run it until the end of the year. (

(Excuse the quality of the pics)

So here’s how she started:-

The main thing is I need to get round to giving it a good clean and polish as the car being red has some faded spots especially on the bonnet :S

Got the car home after taking it for a little drive to see how she performed which I must admit put a smile on my face :p

Anyways, next step was to slam it:-

I found it rubs a little if I go into a corner to quick but I suppose it’s not a bad thing as I keep telling my self to take it easy so this way I have to lol.

I was going to clean the car but found out my brother took all the cleaning gear :S so I thought Instead of wasting a day let’s put the induction kit on :p

After fitting the BMC I must admit the noise was superb it’s sort of like a mean grunting sound as you go higher up the rev range :p

As the night was still young the rear of the car was bugging me, There was just too much red so I thought why not mix thing’s up a little, I trial fitted some smoked Hella’s which looked ok-ish for now so I thought why the hell not :p

That’s it for now, Slow updates to follow as I can’t really work on the car as much as I would like to since my incident :S

Comments and opinions welcome….

Thanks

That looks well smart mate, not normally a fan of red cars, but that looks really nice :)

Hello mate,

Cars looking good, how do you know Matt?

Cheer's Peepz, Tom7 i met Mat at the W.London meet and we're sort of in the same area, Saying that i've seen you driving about many times is-well especially on that By-pass as your coming into Sunbury and sometimes at Windsor.

Omz

looks good mate

I see you had to settle for a blue 90* pipe too. Nice tidy paintwork by the looks of it

Lovely car this, pretty good stance too considering the skinny ass gti wheels lol... U sorted out you are sidelights bro?

Abdul

Tom i use to drive a Silver 3dr 6N2 although every time i've seen you the cars been looking rather standard apart from it was slammed.

Abdul, Cheers bro, Not at the moment, I've found some it's just about getting some doh together :S

Matt, You no what i was saying about the wheels, how they look good but their absoloute wank to drive on ?? Well i wasn't wrong lol, Although now i gotto drive slow which isn't so bad, i'll drop you a line and we'll hook up.

Update

Ok so here’s where we at so far………..1st thing I had to do was get the Tracking / Camber sorted so off she went to the garage, They got some funky machinery these days, I remember it being just plain old Lasers strapped to your tyres before lol, Pics of the car up on the ramps:

After getting that Tracking / Camber sorted i couldn’t stay out of the car, I was driving every chance I got which lead me to my next modification, The CD Changer in the boot’s not working and I don’t remember the last time I saw a cassette so I was left to listen to the radio, However this was more like me flicking from one station to the other throughout the whole journey just trying to find 1 decent tune :S So I think bollox to this I got my old head unit at home so I might is-well wire that up :p

It wasn’t as easy / simple as I remember it being lol,

Here’s the unit in question with shit loads of wirering :S

Once I recalled what the different wires were for (and believe me it wasn’t easy with my memory lol) I started to dismantle the car

And the end result

I no this isn’t the best of head units out their etc but my personal opinion is this is the nutz, I quiet like the double din screen’s but the problem with them is the screen stays in the car meaning within about 10-15 seconds some thieving tit would have had it where as on this unit the key pad as well as the whole monitor detach meaning I can leave the car not having to worry about someone trying to break in to nick the unit.

Next this on the list was to give the car a good clean as I’ve been meaning to do this all week but just haven’t had the time, I spent from 8 o’clock in the morning to about 12 cleaning the car and polishing it trying to get rid of all the faded spots (Matt remember that nasty bit all over the bonnet ?? Well it’s gone woo-hoo lol)

So I thought while the car was looking all nice and shiney I should really take advantage of the good weather so this came next :p

Soo after spending all morning using the old elbow grease cleaning the car and putting on the rims what happens ?? It starts to frigging rain The next plan of action was to leave the car where it was as the weather put me right off , Next thing I no my mate’s come round to “chill” so we think why not take the car out to see how bad the scrubbing was,

We was heading down the road trying to avoid all the pot holes, bumps etc when my mate suddenly woke up and pulled out the camera phone, Next……….Actually enough of the typing let the pictures do the talking…..

(Again they are not the best pics however we only had a camera phone to hand at the time :S)

That’s how she stands at the moment, I got a couple of more thing’s I want to do however funds being next to nothing this month their going to have to be put on hold :S

All comments welcome.

Thanks
