Lowerage Simon!

As above Si mate !

Seeing your mats reminds me I need to buy new ones. Mine look tatty.

Hi,

very nice car mate. Just wondering if you can hit 60mph in 2nd? The reason being i'd like to put a gti box in my 1.4 16v as it currently won't. Also had you thought about powder coating the centres of your split rims?

Umm... I'll find out about 2nd gear for you tomorrow mate... and yeah, have thought about powdercoating the centres! Originally thought about black centres but I'm not feeling that any more so will probably go for super shiney silver - as shiney bright as possible without resorting to chrome!! :-D

EDIT: yes, 60mph is acheivable in 2nd gear, with the redline approaching fast!

Quality news about the 2nd gear stuff. Will have to see if I can source a box now. I also have the Gti wheels and can make my mind up wether to go for a set of 17"s or get them refurbed....

Don't get 17's - not only will they make your car look like a 4x4, you'll probably have loads of rubbing problems with the arches aswell.

wheres your climate control!!! I want a bmc and tt pedals, whered u get bmc from?

The early GTi's had manual climate control and a sun roof (although that might have been an extra, not sure)

Yeah I have manula A/C as above. The sunroof was an £800 option if my information is correct, I don;t know if mine had one specced by the original owner, or if it was specced by VW that way before being built :-)

DM, I got my BMC 2nd hand from a guy who goes by "Prash" on uk-polos and now club lupo. The TT pedals came from VAGparts and cost about £30

My gti that I've just had was a W reg and that had climate, and I've seen a few knocking about on autotrader a while ago which had sunroof and climate AND leather, my god that would be a heaven GTi

Your oil cap is on upside down

Looks good dude! Just needs lowering!

Your oil cap is on upside down

God damn am i out of season again?!?! ill have to change it round next time

I thought you guys were more original than that....I have my engine mounted the opposite way round

haha of course :) i might just throw mine away and put clingfilm over it

w00t:

In ten days time the olop gets her early Christmas present, thanks to Saj of Gwent VW! :-D

Camera phone images so not the best... but you get the idea. Alun, Alex... well I think you knew I just had to lower it at some point :-D

Good lad! If you come to the midlands meet will they be on then?

I was hoping to compare my car to yours (at standard height)

can you just unplug the temp. sensor off the coolent bottle and take the pipes off cos mine needs flushing out (got crap build up on inside of bottle)

you car will look awesome with the coileys fitted, how much where they? :)

Good lad! If you come to the midlands meet will they be on then?

I'll make some measurements before the car gets lowered (from arch to ground, arch to centre of wheel, front and back). Done this before for a fellow GTi owner and he did the same, then we figured out roughly how far he'd lowered his car.

Sadly (for you) yeah they will be on! They get fitted on the 25th, just waiting on a complete set of new top mounts from vagparts to arrive and it's on and poppin'

About time mate!

Looking forward to seeing it

wheres your climate control!!! I want a bmc and tt pedals, whered u get bmc from?

The early GTi's had manual climate control and a sun roof (although that might have been an extra, not sure)

i have an early gti and full cimate control and sun roof

good luck with lowerin

New suspension now being fitted on December 2nd so yes, you will get to compare your tarmac terrorist with my 4x4 (comparatively speaking!) at the Midlands meet :-)

The other news is that earlier today I won an auction for some G60 steels on eBay so they will be fitted in due course, after having been powdercoated in a top secret finish
