I regurly have to resort to this sort of self harm due to the pain my VW puts me through, Id rather bash all my teeth out on the corner of this desk than think about how much ive spent on it.
Now, As i walk through town i saw a car (typical jap crap) It was silver, With a black spoiler, Black rims and a Black lip kit, As soon as i saw it my girlfriend knew what was going through my mind and grabbed me shoting "no your not painting your car like that"
A few mins later a supra walked past, You could hear the turbo, Again she looked at me and goes "no your not gonna turbo your motor!"
Later on i was looking in a Auto traider and saw a 16V for sale for ?900 and heard a voice in my head "NO YOUR NOT BUYING A 16V and carrying your mods accross.
Anyway, Where is all this leading too i hear you ask?
No ware, I just wanted to waist exactally 89 seconds of your life :D
On a serious note tho, Heres a question for you, Your sitting in your dub, And you have ?1000 in your hands to spend on ANYTHING, BUT it must be VW related. What would it be?
Example, "If i had ?1000 id have a total respray of the entire car, And have the doors replaced as there all dented."
-
hmmmm, good question fielder.
touch wood my car is A1 at the moment,
so there are no repairs i would do.
so i could spend the whole 1k on the dub.
id get my a-s-s down the scrappy and buy a 9A block to put in the ol girl,
with a bit of fettling these engines can be on the interesting side of 170bhp,
all can be done and fitted for 1k ;)
oh yeh with the change id buy some M3 style rear lights.
job done :D
Fielder mate you should really jus buy a GTI FFS,
you would absolutly love it,
im telling you dude, you jus dont know what your missing out on ;)
-
Fielder - stop listening to ur girlfriend.
Buy the 16v - you know it makes sense. ;)
She sounds more like a wife! Get out from under that thumb!
:P
-
?1,000 hhmmmmm
Well, definately some coilovers to sort the slightly(!) soft suspension ?605
some decent component speakers for the front ?89
a new mp3 cd changer ?165
and i'd have the wheels refurbished ?140
That comes to ?999!
What should i do with the extra pound?
-
just spent 1.1k on the respray last week :-X
If i had another to spend on it.....erm?.........Rallye front end at 390 quid and a huge fast2furious spoiler.
jokes :P
-

1) the wheels i want (not sure if that'd get the rubber too though..)

or
2) get the rear disks/pads done (have to do this soon..) and get a new exhaust and lower it a lil plus fluid changes and a valet :)
-
Corr fielder she does sound a bit like a wife!!
Even I'm not that bad :D
I'd get me bodywork done (on the car b4 u start) then she'd be a fantastic little thing!!
-

or pay next years insurance :'(
-
hhhmmm... with a grand in my pocket i would be on the hunt for a mk1 that needs a little love..... get it home and strip it out, drivers seat, roll cage etc.... nice 1.8 lump with twin webbers......drool....
Fielder - BUY A GTI

Remember wat happened last time u had that idea!!
Luke saw the guy at the wknd and he wasn't impressed we'd killed his car
'some people' he told him! Ummm car was a piece of sh!te mate!!
-
And i like ur wheels Gav
Bit like the Compomotive Cx's i want for the Mi 16! ;) ;D
-
with a grand I'd put it aside ready for the insurrance in dec.
-
lol she wasnt trying to stop me buying or doing stuff, I just change my mind all the time and shes trying to keep me on track with my design i had drawn. Everytime i stray i end up regretting it lol.
Im giving some serious thaught to a 8VGTI right now, I guess i could save about a grand in the next few months towards one providing i didnt do any work on my current car, Or save two grand and get a fresh 16V motor and breaks done at DesignaDubs.
Ok a new question, What would you do if you had ?5,000 to spend on a dub! Not on parts, But on a dub. You have to go out on the net, Find any car you would buy for less than ?5,000 and post it back here, Best find gets a Prize :D
-
3k...

-
lol common dude, You have ?5,000 :P You could get somthing seriously fast for that much ;)
-
yaeh the left overs on an engine conversion :P :P
what wud u get?
-
the wheels are licenced replicas of Porsche "cup 2" wheels and are made by Mille Miglia.. their model is also cup 2 :)
they sell them pre-chromed or looking normal
-

3k...

drool :P abit pricey but f**k it :D
is that the Vr6? if so i went against him 1/4 mile at santa pod. I'm sure he paid 5k for it and was gutted that most of the history was bogus and had some faults....
-
how much?
for the replica's you're looking at 200 per wheel but the replicas are harder to fit that the 'real' porsche ones.
i spent a lot of time trying to get a set of porsche ones but failed :'(
the cup3 (pic below) comes in better sizes... my bosses porsche has those on, so i don't really wanna put em on my car..

ohh.. but you need adapters to put porker ones on, whereas the replicas have the right fitment

i win the prize for buying the car for max of 5k ;)

I was just going to answer your first question fielder when you go and change it on me! I would probably buy a split screen for the wife if i had 5 grand as she's been after one for ages. If I had a thousand I would probably pay someone to finish off my mk1 conversion as I havent touched it in over 4 months now and I here its looking sorry for itself.
