My motor

Finally decided to post pictures of my motor.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I bought it just after New Year?s Day. I was undecided on what to buy as I had sold my Clio 172sport & had been using my old jobs company motors to get me about. I did land up buy an mk2 Gti 16v for ?200 which I did think about stripping & putting a 1.8T lump in it. But I thought it would take me to long to do so sold it on. <o

Then I was flicking through the papers & I found this 1.8T for sale, so I popped out saw it & bought it.<o

Saw your car at inters and it looks really good. Sounds like you have some nice mods planned as well.

dannyboy · May 19, 2005

Andrew did you park next to me on Sat, if so did manage to get you R32 steering wheel fitted in the end mate?

Andrew · May 19, 2005

Yeah that was me. It's a great mod. I fitted it last week, I couldn't get the airbag off at first but done it straight away next time I tried. Cheers for the advice.

Irish · May 19, 2005

What a great nick car! To find one that modded already (or did you do it yourself?) was very lucky.

Nice Anni boot spoiler would be cool.

Darkus2 · May 20, 2005

Nice... [

Now thats what my new baby is gonna look like one day...

Irish, wish it was all done when i found it spent the last three months doing all these bits to it. But it kept me busy between soughting out a new job/bussiness. [

Thats lovely! I like the blue exterior/beige interior combo too. Top work!

MattyV5 · May 20, 2005

Its my car in blue !!!!!

Looking very cool mate, love the interior ! Very nice example mate ! A few people are getting those wheels now I see !

Very cool [

RS GOLF · May 20, 2005

Look's mega Nice mate... [Y][Y][Y][Y] You should be well pleased...

You have done some serious mods to your car in such short time..

Have you had your car re mapped yet?

The next mods you are planning (Milltek 100 Cell Cat - Samco Tips - Induction Kit), are well worth getting. They will give more power and make your car run smoothly.

I did not realise that you had a Sharon Badge ! was it easy to fit and did you colour code it?

Did The Sat Nav come with the car or is this also a mod?

I have been considering retro fitting Sat Nav, but I'm not to sure about the cost involved. Yours looks really good.

Keep up the good work Dan [

Looks good fella shame about the ugly mug who drives it but I suppose you cant have it all [

daflyingfinn · May 20, 2005

me like me like

beige interior looks pukka, may be some light tints will finish it off

TimGti · May 20, 2005

Woah [H] for that interior! Looking very nice mate! If your gonna keep the car for a while maybe get the anni kit to really finish off an impresive list of mods?

How do you find tyre wear with the coilovers on, did u have a full suspension re-alignment or just the tracking checked when you fitted them?

sonnys_sdi · May 20, 2005

You've got the interior that i want, the interior on your car is superb
mate, The cream leathers look mint. Your alloys are rather nice aswell.
Has your car been lowered??

Sonny

RS GOLF · May 20, 2005

I think he has lowered it quite a lot on FK Coilovers, as the arch's meet the tyres and the car sits really well on them

02 Bora · May 20, 2005

the car looks great. [Y] for a great choice of mods. Impressive photo's too, what camera may i ask?

I personally think the 4 motion front valance is a little too busy, the anni valance would IMO look better, and would be a great addition to the car. I assume you would have to keep the original rear valance due to the pipes, but it would look very good colour coded.

Keep up the good work.

Reflex TDI · May 20, 2005

Looking good Dan [H] I'm sure some of those pictures are a little out of focus though, I thought you knew what you were doing? [

The Walrus · May 20, 2005

James both Dan and I spent to much time out in the car park talking cars than learning about how to take pictures. [
