Like how you tinted the rear LED's.. Makes what was sh*t looking into something more respectable. I hate clear/white rear lights. OEM or tinted FTW.

i actually found a black set at a scrappy same with the headlights so unfortunetly i cant take credit for that. I get alot of stick for the rear lifhts but i think they suit a silver mk4 so theyl do for a while on another note instead of updating 2 threads itl be easy to follow the uk-mkivs one .....

Haha doing the bumper was hugely time consuming and i wish i just paid someone to do it but its all good experience !

I was going to colour code the valance but where its textured i cant be arsed to smooth it all out im on eventually going to get a votex if i can find one but plans change and im still not convinced thats what i want

Title: Re: AD's GTI
Post by: AD1.8T on 05 May 2012, 07:30: At the second my car currently is empty with the following removed
Recaros
Center consoles
Rear lights

The rears are out because ive got new ones....... Seats and consoles are out as the carpet is filthy and needs a proper good clean and so do the seats. I bassically want the car to feel new again inside for when i start driving it again.

Exterior wise il be ATTEMPTING the rear axle bushes and doing the top mounts bearings, arb bushes and droplinks and paying someone to do the front wishbone bushes

I also need some 225/215 40 18 tyres for the super sevens

And finally if the whether ever gets better i would like to spray the mirrors silver again and fix a couple of paint chips and 1 major 1 caused by a sharran badge ! If anyone has a decent condition center console for sale let me know :)

Post by: AD1.8T on 08 May 2012, 17:14: Its been a busy weekend !

Stripped the interior out last weekend as the car has no mot at the second so i thought i may aswell clean the mother out of it!

Friday i decided to buy these from vw for £120

The saterday i woke up stupid early so i was on my phone looking for new scrappys and found 1 40 mins away with a bora so i phoned them and asked if it still had the armrest and vents in which they said yes so i was over the moon !! Ive been waiting to get the 2 for ages but didnt wanna pay scene tax on them ! So yeah got there looked in the bora and almost died !

The armrest was battered someone clearly wanted it but didnt know how to get it out and ruined it to say the least pass side vent was mint but the mechanism for the roller was broke so that was fine for now the drivers side was perfect and all working as should but the middle one ! Again some tw*t didnt know how to get it out and by the looks of it just prised the edges and snapped it so at that point i was gutted to say the least so i thought id have a mooch about see what else was there and i found 4 golfs in a line 1 had perfect seats in which i needed a headrest from although it dont match the rest its bettter than none so i took 2 with the intention of putting both in...... My center consoles had seen better days so i went and looked in a pristine 1.6 all that appeard wrong with it was a smashed windscreen the consoles were in extremely good condition but that wasnt the best bit it had an armrest !!!!!!!! Carefully removed it all cut the fook out my hands on the glass when i went to the man his words were

"youve been busy aint ya young man " at which point i was thinking im going to have to do some bargaining to get him down to £50 atleast he then mumbled to himself counting it all up and said " does £20 sound reasonable to you ?" i grinned and pulled £80 out my pocket was like yeah thats a fair price i suppose lol by most scrapyards prices that should have been

£10/20 for headrests

£10/20 for armrest

£5 for the vents

£20 for both consoles !!!!

I even found £2.10 in the car so it cost a grand total of £17.90 :D

Post by: AD1.8T on 08 May 2012, 17:18: When i got back i set to fixing the pass side vent to fully closed

Post by: dantheman6554 on 09 May 2012, 09:00: Looking really good mate! those wheels set it off! any engine plans coming up?
Title: Re: AD's GTI abit of ocd :D
Post by: AD1.8T on 09 May 2012, 17:36: Yeah ive done some bits to the engine/mechanics already i was planning on getting a map last month but relised my cambelt was due so had to fork 300+ for that ive taken it off the road for a month or 2 to get all the niggly bits done that would never get sorted if i was driving it so far .....

Interior
New consoles as mine were battered and spoiled the inside
Revive the carpet as it was more grey than black
Minimize the squeeky things that p'eed me off
The vents and armrest were just a bonus to be fair

Exterior
Spray the mirrors silver again (not done yet)
Get some 215/225 40s for the super sevens the 35s are hideous to drive on (not done yet)
Lower it abit when the wheels are back on or maybe higher depend how the new tyres will sit
Fix some paint defects thats if the weather ever makes its mind up like the chunk i took out the spoiler with a sharan badge :embarassed:

Engine/mechanics
Cambelt water pump new coolant tank have all been done
All new bushes/topmounts
N249 bypass done
New forge boost hoses done
007p done
Silicone tip need to get that but its not at the top of the list
Smoothed airbox with pipercross filter Done
Needs a bloody good service!

Im hoping it will reach a healthy 220 with a decent amount of torque but im obviously making the car feel like its just rolled out of the factory first i want to be able to feel like its a new car once everything has been done for when i get the mot sorted. The map should be ready to be done in 3 months or so then its a long trip to r tech
Title: Re: AD's GTI abit of ocd :D
Post by: AD1.8T on 10 May 2012, 18:47: More interior bits done :cool:

Brought some ebay special mats to finish off the anniversary interior and to stay faithfull to the lack of money ive spent on it all they cost £13.?? Plus postage ive never seen the anni mats but they cant be much different to these..... They turned up today after ordering sunday so super quick postage the only issues with them is the holes for the pegs were ovals and it had a heel bit so i set to work to make them look more oem PICTURES!!!!

As they arrived there not as pink as they look there a true red like tornado red

What colour are your wheels? I need alloys that colour in my life! :tongue:
Title: Re: AD's GTI
Post by: AD1.8T on 04 June 2012, 18:13: The best match ive found is rover gunmetal but the wheels have more black in them than the rover colour im actually going to be getting them done in factory silver as i think it will make it look cleaner !

All the bushes done now car drives soooo much better past the mot with no advisories at all and just had the tracking done service next month map the month after canny wait :D
Title: Re: AD's GTI
Post by: AD1.8T on 07 August 2012, 11:58: havnt really done alot to her the last couple of months but im currently collecting parts, sanding, sanding and more sanding. I had to have a operation on the 30th of july so this month and next money is super tight as im off work all this month which means staturay sick pay £80 odd a week so buying stuff for the golf is a huge no unfortunetly!

i have been enjoying driving it for once though rather than fiddling with everything although i have removed the sub from the side of the boot as it didnt sound that great to be honest! i have however fitted my theloudest.com speakers up front and amped them which is a huge improvement but i will be getting a better h.u at some point as although the alpine looks really nice it only has 1 pre out which is pretty crap.

ive also sanded down the door handles to give them that brushed look and do look pretty sweet :cool:

during this month off im going to be prepping my anni skirts and votex valance along with sanding my super sevens down all ready to be sorted october depending on the prices i get that is ..... few pictures for y'alll

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/Mobile%20Uploads/715e5f7b.jpg)

sanding alloys is actually very therapeutic (with a little detail sander)

I must say it's come on a long way since you got, back then it looked pretty nasty!... Looking loads better.
Title: Re: AD's GTI sanding sanding and more sanding
Post by: AD1.8T on 07 August 2012, 17:16: Cheers mate, when i brought it i thought it looked hideous aswell but i knew it was only a few things that i could sort simply by going to a scrappy (it was just a huge pot of luck i found a anni to be fair) ! The service history, maintenance and wallet full of reciepts was the reason i brought it (although i didnt pick up on the fact it never had the cam belt done) the paint WAS imaculate aswell. I actually have the reciepts for the tacky front and rear lights and the wheels i was shocked at how much they cost ..... The original owner had the car for a couple of months then brought them :sick: he was obviously stuck in the 90s style of modding :grin:

Post by: AD1.8T on 26 February 2013, 10:14: After waiting what felt like forever for the gauge to turn up its finally done and all back together ! Pictures are the best thing for a build thread so here they are ...

when i first got the pod i wasn't too happy that the pods material was sooo different to the headliner but now its all together im not to fussed but still for near on £60 youd expect it to be as similar to the same thing as possible.

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/DBEEB2CB-EF57-4AF6-9A93-A956CB0C65B4-162-00000006FD809240.jpg)

Title: Re: !!! AD's GTI !!! Weitecs, polybushes, servicing and BAGS .... Of sorts
Post by: AD1.8T on 26 February 2013, 10:15: Right where to start :D the first new thing shall be the side skirts as mentioned above im still working on the butchered one but you can only see the damage when the doors done so it doesnt look to rough in its everyday guise :)

excuse the dirty pictures taken with the iphone camera which is crap to say the least i need to find the girlfriends camera and give the car a clean!

so yeah side skirts

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/E015DD59-9CDB-4109-A58A-FCD8487937E7-791-00000137216E070A.jpg)

As i gave my old anni handbrake to chris on edition my normal black one felt abit dull so i cracked out the needle and grey cotton and ended up with this ...

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/495BE47A-FE29-4C2E-886F-D18E41A61FFD-791-00000137339BBA78.jpg)

The gear gaitor got the same treatment cant see it to well but its going to get replaced with a R item anyway !

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/802897EA-3BE6-46B5-AAC8-5FFAB249CD4E-791-00000137607A9C92.jpg)

Stupidly expensive mats were delivered to me as again they went with the anni seats, the quality of them is very good nice and thick :) only downfall is that the grey trim in the pictured looked identical to the seats in person ..... Not so much ! Excuse the dirtyness i never took the picture straight away and my drives quite dusty.

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/C0F6DAD1-365D-4DF5-A6B3-0868C113F5C5-791-000001374E7FCFB8.jpg)

After 3rd time lucky i got some faux suede which is a bang on match so this happened

And i took a page out of simon1.8ts book as the all grey plastics was abit ummm butt ugly !

obviously being R:. Seats there heated so i went on the hunt for some switches which was a result at a scrappy ! and ordered up my kufatec loom which come to £60 odd from the motherland i was expecting a good 5/7 day delivery time ..... 2 bloody days they took to get here i was shocked !!!

And finally after a very long wait and a set ruined i took a little drive to Chris-gtis house to pick up his old mg alloys! It made sense as there a similar colour to what i was going for and they had tyres so win win really ! A decent lad whos golf is absolutely awesome such a tidy example !

As i said earlier il give her a clean tomoz and get some decent pictures when the weathers abit brighter

What are the pattern of the wheels mate? So cheap compared to BBS CH!!!

Lol unfortunately there really really not

The specs are 5x100 et 50 cb is 56.1 (vw is 57.1) they almost always come with 225 45 18s which is too big so to get them to fit ......

Shave the centre bore 0.5mm with a flap wheel £50p a wheel
Spacers you need atleast 30 fronts 35 rears i paid just over £200 for them
Tyres will set you back around £380/400
The alloys them selves usually go for £150/£300 depending on condition and pure luck really
I would almost put money on them needing a refurb so £60 to ??? Depending what you do

Chs are alot cheaper to be fair luckily i brought these all ready to go but i was initially planning on doing it all myself regardless the still cost me just shy of £600 all in

Title: Re: !!! AD's GTI !!! Votex styley
Post by: AD1.8T on 23 March 2013, 21:10: Yeah they were pretty nice should of kept them to swap about with !

Right ..... Most forums there know as "super sevens" there off of the 3.2 v6 audi tt thats mainly what they get listed as on ebay. There 7.5j and the et is low 30's 30/32 i think, i ran them with 10mm spacers up front and 15s on the rear and they sat nicely in the arch.

Post by: kane_turbo on 23 March 2013, 21:13: sorry to ruin your thread. but im running coilovers and hit a snag with that im going to sell the bbs lm 19s and buy these super 7s if i can find a set. just want something a little more easy on the arch. thanks for your help chap :D
Title: Re: !!! AD's GTI !!! Votex styley
Post by: AD1.8T on 23 March 2013, 21:20: Haha your not ruining it bud its nice to see people interested in the build its what its here for after all!

Yeah to be honest 19s only look good with air suspension and for what its worth the extra couple of mm of rubber you will get from 18s theres no competition if you do find some id recommend 215 40 18s as thats whats on my hairpins and there the same width !

Post by: AD1.8T on 24 March 2013, 17:29: Spur of the moment change .... I was looking in my shed and happened to come across my black grill and thought it takes all of 2 seconds to change so yeah what do you think black or silver ? I like them both i think the black gives the front more definition but the silver looks cleaner so il be swapping them round as and when i get bored lol

Post by: AD1.8T on 06 April 2013, 20:40: Yeah following on from above i has more grey [:D]

Cant really get any decent pictures of it but i feel it looks equally as good as the black and its a change well.... Another lol also now the grey plastics on the bottom of the seats have something to tie in with!

i decided against grey handbrake, ashtray, coin holder insert and cupholder as it was abit much so i kept them black to go with the whole theme. The interior is virtually done now bar a new steering wheel i would like a mk6 gti wheel but £££ so il probably hunt down an .:R item, i need a dead pedal cover but again fancy the .:R pedal set just for a change bit undecided on that yet though, i need some grey seatbelt buckles for the rear as they stick out like a saw thumb at the minute :/ and finally i need to source a C??? Pillar trim from and anni so i can recover my 42 Draft design pillar pod as it doesn't match the anni stuff what so ever !

Anyways some poor photography skills for you all!

soon as i got home from work i cracked on took just over 2 hours !! I never had the problems most others do though as it nigh on fell onto the turbo, i spent most of the time trying to get it on the maf obviously i didnt want to break the maf so was being very careful with it. Its still not on 100% so im going to break out the heat gun! Also the 007p has moved a considerable amount it used to sit under the cover but now is tucked away at the back.

(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/Mobile%20Uploads/Golf%20vs%20Leon/BAE6AA2D-59BF-47BA-A98C-3FD2DDE42928-498-0000007480E82070.jpg)

Also is it me or is the forge print further back than normal ? I thought you could se it when the engine cover was on ?

overall spools faster, pulls harder, recircs louder and i no longer have a tssssshhhhhhh as i accelerate !

I have also done some uber pointless subtle touches ! Ive got rid of the remaining chrome bits and gave them the brushed look treatment! The seat belt anchor at the bottom and the seat belt clips..... No one would ever notice but still i know its there lol

Plunk" effect its now more "pow" your in gear ???? Reverse is still abit notchy but thats 1 of 2 things i need to re-redo the gear alignment or i done something fitting the £3 bush thing. The car itself is still quite snatchy when lifting the clutch but i could almost guarantee thats my shagged dogbone mount !

Post by: AD1.8T on 11 November 2013, 10:12: Now this will bring it up to date ......

Its been a while since I had anything worthy of an update but the other weekend I decided I wanted to spray my rocker cover and as it was leaking anyway so it made sense, as I was dismantling everything I noticed one of my lower pcv pipes were virtually non existent, which now explains why my mpg was suffering low 20s ... so I ordered up a ebay catch can as I didnt really want to shell out silly money on anything else! Started by stripping the rocker cover down for paint I had a spare throttle body lying around aswell so I painted that too but didnt like it.(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131031_173523.jpg)Painted(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131031_193806.jpg)Next is the catch can install one everything arrived no progress picrures really just a back together one Excuse the bluryness it was cold ! (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131108_155443.jpg)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131108_155451.jpg) Next up was a decat and 3" downpipe this turned into an absolute ballache to be honest I was getting rattles and bangs from everywhere found one to be the downpipe hitting the subframe well resting on it !(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131104_133236.jpg)So I narrowed that down to the dogbone mount as I knew it was shot, I previously fitted some poly bushes about a year ago but absolutely hated them so took them straight out. I came across an error from last october !!! I built the dogbone up the wrong way ooooppps may thats why the poly bushes were so terrible cause on page 6 theres a picture of the polybushes assembled the wrong way lol(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131107_155132-1.jpg)So with that resovled it ended up like this (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131107_160732-1.jpg)But caused the mid section to hit the sides of the tunnel so a trip to my mates we cut about 15mm of the hanger off both sides no noises after a painfull week of hunting them down !!!Everyone knows what the look like new but heres a picture of it all shiny... there also may be a chance I freaked out about the dent and phoned the company asking for a refund !!! Woooopps (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131101_092637.jpg)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131101_095527.jpg)Also a very small mod I bought a grill badge its absolute donkey s h I t for fitment but I like it (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131012_140028.jpg)Next up will be the sai delete and sort out my vac hoses and because everything will be apart anyway I will be spraying the inlet manifold and throttle body hammered silver. No exterior updates except a well deserved clean and sticker removal oh an a couple of war wounds on the front valance (http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131110_152038_RichtoneHDR.jpg)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131110_152009_RichtoneHDR.jpg)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131110_151848_RichtoneHDR.jpg)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/2013-11-10154033.png)(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab25/yellowmgzr/20131110_151820_RichtoneHDR.jpg)

Fits in with the brushed theme nicely but there is one problem with it ... the fogs come on with the dipped and side lights when set to auto and when the coming home function is active the sides and fogs come on anyway to sort it so the fogs dont come on auto ?

Then I fancied a change exterior wise annoyingly im at the point I was 3 years ago except now its all sprayed and fitted ! So starting with the side skirts I removed my votex ones took them down the docks to swap them with wez (wazzer) for his gen annis :D now you would think like I did "what could possibly go wrong" well this did !

Its costed me £120 to get the sill and door shut repaired by a smart repair guy who a mate of mine has used a couple of times top notch work highly recommend!

So after the paint hardened fully and I had my skirts back from being sprayed I set to fitting them.

Well thats a nice hole that needs to be filled ;)

I also stripped out the entire interior as there was a hideous rattle knock so armed with 5m of anti rattle tape I set to work taping anything and everything that looked like a threat. Turned out to be a topmount bolt slightly loose woops :/ but luckily I did strip it all as I found all this !

So I dried everything up and fixed the causes now obviously the rear bits were from the vents behind the bumper so I had to take that off for the 3rd time lol and went mad with silicone ! The front leak is from one of 2 things either my shoddy attempt at running an amp cable through the wing :/ or the pollen filter grommet, I removed the amp cable and ran it through the pollen filter grommet with my boost gauge hose and again went mad with silicone. Touch wood thats sorted it

Now finally time for this little monster non res GT100 milltek catback ive told myself countless times not to buy a milltek as there over rated and a custom jobby costs half but it looks so good and I couldnt resist, I also partially blame Jason Bs anni as that made me pick up the phone and order it. No pictures of it when it arrived as I was like a kid at xmas and it was on the car with 2 hours or so lol

Well thats all thats been happening with the car over the last few months, my next plans are to get some ecs wheel centering plates so I can drop it abit more and get the wheels refurbed! Hope you enjoyed the read :D

On a side note this was also keeping me occupied when I wasnt playing with the car, my bearded dragons homes needed a revamp as they were looking abit boring compared to there old home so I set out to do this for the second time for them.

Alot of polystyrene and grout

Cheers mate its never going to feel 'complete' untill its on air though !

Best thing I've ever done to mine :wink:

Looks great aired out, can drive anywhere without having to worry about speed bumps, you don't get the horrible ride that you do with coilovers yet you can chuck it round corners just as well.

On another note, did you split your DEPO lights and joey mod them?

Post by: AD1.8T on 16 February 2014, 09:59: Exactly the main bonus would be not having to faff about with the bumper to get it on a ramp !!

I did indeed mate the lights you have look awesome on a black golf but on a silver or light coloured one they look pants imo so I went for the chrome ones and anni styled them easy enough to do as the glue isnt that strong on the depos and with abit of satin black they look perfect. Theres some pictures in here somewhere relatively close to this page.

Post by: AD1.8T on 22 February 2014, 15:24: To cure my knocking I decided to invest in a couple of other bits for the car 1 of which arrived yesterday, my elephant tusk from awesome, number 1 place for all your illegal ivory dealings and all that.

Offered them up to eachother and after a bit of heat and the use of a dolly thing I got them to slide in and out with ease. Long story short the reducer got stuck stuff got bent, then fixed, now its as good as new

all fitted to the car the mid section is as far forward as it can physically go and I can fit my hand inbetween the over axle bit and the axle I cable tied the rubber up aswell which helped alot now everything else was in the right place also the tailpipe now sits perfectly!

with the car back on all 4s im left with a 27mm gap which is plenty. But of course it wasnt going to be as simple as that was it! ive only let it heat up fully and put the car back on my drive but when I reverse with not enough revs up the slight incline on my drive it now touches the god damn chassis !!!! Luckily I can sort that just by dropping the cable ties, ive yet to take it out on a run but fingers crossed also my mpg should be able to get out of the teens now as theres a slight chance I fitted the lambda sensors round the wrong way maybe..... I also chucked the post cat sensor in the box to prevent the EML.

when they get here hopefully monday I will be fitting my ecs centering plates and dropping the car to suit maybe 15/20mm :D

Post by: AD1.8T on 23 February 2014, 22:52: Thought id grab a little video of the auto headlights not alot to see really but I was out having a fag so thought why not this is when I lock the car the fogs and side lights come on allowing you to find the key hole alot easier at your front door lol absolutely love them for such a simple mod only downside is the fogs come on with the dipped and sidelights when driving and it pisses people off lol
