Really need my bbs' sorted and more lows!

Cheeky update.

So I got extremely bored on wednesday, trawling through eBay. Anyway, ended up buying this which turned up today!

Before:

And After

6N2 GTI all leather steering wheel. Much nicer feel to it and love the look of it!

Was going to go for a momo, but though i'd go for this for the time being

An actual wheel update will be soon

Dave

cheeky bastard, could say the same about the fogs! ahaha

A friend of mine kindly washed waxxed the polo the other day (loves his detailing). Playing around with the new phone's camera coming out of tesco's

Also picked up a few service parts from VW.

Also on the wheel side, i've sanded down the center caps all ready for primer, also one of the wheels is ready for paint so should be an update soon

I keep not doing the wheels and buying stuff...

Although an actual update on the wheels - center caps are all now I'm primer and ready for paint

Also central locking has completely gone :( think it might be the fuses as it doesnt even make a noise

Take the vacuum pump out the boot and check it for moisture, then dry it out.

Should work after that.

Sweet...

How you gonna put fuel in?

mate it totally slipped my mind went to petrol station to be confronted with a locked petrol cap!

However they're shit, so got a flat blade screwdriver out of the boot and forced the pin back lol. Had to buy a locking fuel filler cap the other day though :(

Car had it's gearbox oil and fuel filter changed today. Took 20 mins and the guy showed me how to do the gearbox oil as I had no idea lol .

Under side of the car is filthy.

Exhaust is getting worse in places...tempted to get a custom one! :p

Also the BBS' are finally getting refurbed!

Will upload pictures as they come. Service and rocker cover gaskets to be changed next.

where you get them rocker cover gaskets from? vw near me said they dont do them no more n i was peed off!

that exhaust is horrible lol get a new one and send me your induction :p

Got them from VW. Go into vw and tell them that they do make them. They have to double click on the rocker cover and then deselect the rocker cover in the order form. Both gaskets are £15 each (spark plug and outer gasket).

And yeah haha, tempted to get a custom built up! lol no chance mate

Small update:

So the BBS' are sanded back and the curbing is pretty much sorted now, will be primered this week :)

Bought a new central locking pump and door seals off of harris' 6n that will be arriving in the next couple of days, also rocker cover is going to be polished up by a friend when I do the gaskets.

Tyres are also going to be ordered next week

Met up with my mate earlier this evening with his mk2 golf and took some pictures, his golf really makes my polo look high :(

Really dislike how high it's sitting on the standard alloys now, can't wait for the BBS' to be on!

Will do a bigger update soon

Dave

Thanks rich, yeah I can't wait now! And yeah it's quite cool haha, scrapes to shit on everything, being resprayed soon!

On side note, might be selling my current coilovers (JOM 100mm ones) and buying some ones off of Phil J to go lowerrer. (anyone interested let me know)

Also I now have central locking again thanks to Harris, aswell as door seals and interior wing mirror trim pieces which mine have been broken since bought lol.

So, updates!

Good news...

Bought a new set of coilovers from PhilJ! Set about fitting them straight away ;d

Size difference of Ta Technix to JOM rear coilovers!

Haven't got a picture of how it's sitting for now, mainly as still tinkering and adjusting a proper set height for these.....

After a whole year, they are finally done

Not the best job, but will do for now. Tinkering tomorrow so more pictures to come.

Bad news front.. managed to snap a wheel bolt in my front hub :( (my own fault, over tightening whilst chatting to a mate)

Also when going to replace the bearing under the top mount, the new bolt on the coilover managed to take thread off of the new strut By this i mean the top half of thread is thinner than the bottom half. The bolt went on fine, I would have noticed straight away if it was pissed or something wrong, i've done a fair shair of coilovers before and this has never happened to me :/ After investigating it seems to be down the nut. Instead of using loctite, it uses two pieces of metal that stick out. These have ground away at the thread some how. It has also mashed up my top mount bolt whilst removing it, so picking two new ones up from vw tomorrow.

The top picture is the strut that's missing some thread :(

Anyway, hopefully will try get this sorted tomorrow and more pictures to come
