Evening all!
Well.....i have just got in from my garage very cold yet very very happy! As i threaded yesterday i was fitting my bonnet and my windows today! Which both i was quite apprehensive about as panel work is an art to fit properly! But anyway....
Tonight i cracked on with it ! And i have never been happier with the car (apart from she is horribly dirty) This weekend i am taking an SLR camera out for the weekend and getting some actual proper photos of the car! So these pix on here are a bit sh!t. but just wanted to keep you all updated!
The bonnet looks so good i would actually mate with it if it had a hole! Honestly...really good quality carbon!And FULL CARBON NOT SKINNED :laugh:
The windows are AWESOME. i know there not to everyones taste, but i love em! They really add to the track look im going for! Yet these photos do no justice. they really dont!
The reason im only 90% done is i still need to fit the driver window, as only did passenger one tonight but will be done by Friday! Anyway.... here are some crappy pix! But honestly boys... she looks like a serious track slag now!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Soooo ..... bonnet off

As i said, dark photos at night in a garage do it no justice! Cant wait to get some really good photos!

Anyway.... onto the window

This is the pro slider kit! (not cheap :sick:)
These windows are used on all the VW cup cars! The company who made them for me makes them for them all!

Very happy man! As i said, sh!t photos, but looks great guys!

aero wipers :lipsrsealed: must be good for at least another 2 seconds on track :tongue:
the bonnet looks awesome and a really good fit too :cool: :cool:
-
silly question, but can you lock/secure the windows? or can you only go where you have use of a garage?
look cool as mind, but bit silly if unsecurable
just my 2p
carbon looks good though especially on silver, but personally i'd paint it body colour
she looks so slaggy now, she could be straight out of yate :cool:
-
Mate that looks amazing!
-
likin your golf, its looks like it been done properly
-
Crazy car :wink:
Sensible push bike :grin:
-
Slightly worrying that you have done all of this to your car but you havn't de-locked it...?
-
Reaaaaaaly nice man! Looking very good! :grin:
-
morning guys
Yeah they are normally not able to lock! Yet as i do use this on the road ... i aksed them to customise them by making a locking mechanism on them! So you cannot open them from the outside, only the inside! So they are secure as a normal window. if not more secure as u could hit these with a hammer and they would not go anywhere!
Thanks for the comments guys. I wont be spraying it body colour as i dont see the point! That is the natural colour of carbon fibre people relate to, therefore if i have spend £650 on the bonnet, i would prefer to show it off rather than cover it in paint!

Cool garage mate, nice bit of space you got there!
The black roof goes well with a carbon bonnet, and those windows are :drool:
Never thought of a Golf as a track slag though so i don't really see the point but you definately got some nice bits there!
-
You have never thought of a golf as a track slag???
Do you watch vw cup?
(http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh281/shakeyjake911/WyhinnyPa01.jpg)
If not mate, your missing out!
-
I'll keep an eye out for that mate!
There are just a hell of alot more cars out there for less money than the golf that are much more fun to drive and will run rings around golfs on track. I am generalising there as obviously there will be some mega sorted golfs out there which will be an exception but then for whats been spent on those golfs you could be tracking a Porsche GT3 etc......
-
Good point fair play mate!
But i love my golf to much! Its become an obsession :laugh: :laugh:

:grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
How did i know the poor bike would get brought into this!!! Leave my mums bike alone :laugh:
Im going to be stripping the whole inside in January! And getting it fully sprayed in Piano Gloss Black with the nitrous bottle in Chrome! So we will have a track/show car on our hands :evil:
-
'mums' bike... of course it is... :grin:

totally agree ... i would say an EVO6 with just a remap and straight through exhaust ,stripped out with give most of cars a run for the money that they spent on their cars ....
-
sorry am i missing something here???
Isn't this a GOLF forum
What are comments like that about? Go join an evo forum :wink:
-
I don't understand... Why didn't you just buy an Aston Martin? :wink:
-
I don't understand... Why didn't you just buy an Aston Martin? :wink:
with the substantial of queen' head Jake spent on his car he prob can ... Just on his brakes setup , can probably get him an early model golf 20vt .... :smiley:
-
eh?
-
I think it's supposed to say " with the amount of money Jake has spent on his car,he could have had an Aston Martin,and the price of your brakes alone you can pick up an early 1.8T".
-
Why you guys always start about the amount of money he spend on his car and
wich cars he could have bought when not spending it on his car...
It's his decision and if he wanted to buy an aston martin he would have bought 1..
The fact is that he loves his golf 1.8 turbo and he likes to make his GOLF fast and nice.
so stop wasting youre time by telling wich car he can buy for that or wich 1 not cause he won't give a sh*t ( I guess )
You can always say: ok I like what you did to youre car or I don't like it.
I think that's also the reason of him posting everything he does to his car. He does like to share everything
and hear peoples opinion about it! So just say what you think about it :smiley:

Fair play, good cars are always going to split opinions.
The track idea is making the most of what you have. Veedubgti16v's mk2 kept up with a very powerful Skyline that had to let us past at Brands!
Personally, i love it!
If you ain't going to say anything nice atlease make it constructive critisism
-
Just to clear things up I have no problem with anyone spending money on their car,i was just translating that jibberish that someone else typed.
-
love it jake keep up the good work! :wink:

Why O why do people writ this crap on here!!!!! :huh:
I would probably say there are 99% of people on theses forums have in some way alter/ modified there cars to make them better or to make there own stance/look compared to others and to what they perceived there car to be in there eyes.
We modify our cars because we want to. Its FUN, its Learning, Its about making friends, etc. that why we do this thing instead of going out and getting a Porsche, Aston, Evo.
Like you said Jake. It’s a “VW Forum†ffs, and we all know that there are other cars out there that are quicker, better handaling etc but that not the Friggin point of it is it!
It’s the love we have for the VAG rang and not the others, that’s why we do this sort of thing.
Jake, my hat has been take off and bowed down to you for doing what you are doing. It mega!!!!!. You car will be and inspiration to a lot of people on here and I would say this is prime example why we all love our Dubs as this is what we like to do. Keep up the good work mate and I look forwarded to seeing that’s next up you sleeve.
Sorry about the rant chaps. Just don’t get why people put this stuff up.

i agree with VW Prime and the likes, Obviously i havn't spent as much as you (jake) on my car but i have spent a fair amount on it since i got it in febuary and all the comments on how nice it is just make it all worth while, and i've met quite a few new people on the way aswell. So i dont care what car i could have got with the amount of money i spent and i'm sure jake doesnt.
Jealous peoples now days :huh:
Keep up the good work jake, Cant wait to see it at the RR in january... I either have first dibs in yours or daves golf lol... HIGH FIVE!!! :rolleyes:

there's no jealous at all a about it , I personally spent 1000's on my golf and still spending , it was just my own personal opinion on it and is true his brakes cost mega bucks just the pads alone cost something like £500 ... I appreciate he done alot on the his beloved golf and keep it up , what I said I nothin negative or anything against Jake just a friendly reply ,I was just replying the last message regard the Porsche gt3 ,It seems like to me if someone post a topic u can't add ur opinion on it ...

Evening guys
Bloody hell this topic has got nice and heated :laugh:
I really appreciate the feedback! Espececially VW PRIME and PAYNE ...... thanks guys, comments like that honestly do make it all worth while!
As one of you mentioned i dont post things on here for the fun of it! Im only on this forum , i ocassionally go on uk-mkivs but to be honest ive not been on there for ages! As i dont want to! I see this forum as alot more closer. you actually get to meet sound people, and begin to understand how each member works on here!
My golf is literally my pride and joy, and its nothing to do with money....i just want to get it to a standard where people look at it ,and think.....' you know what, that guy has done a mint job on that' . And i also want to make it different! I could have quite easily bought some dished BBS, and lowered it, EURO bang. that easy, but no...... i dont want to follow trends. Dont get me wrong , euro is uber cool! Its a beautiful scene !But not for me!
I put my updates on here to say ... look guys this is what ive done! Take a look and give me your opinion on it! Good or bad i dont mind!
As if i asked my girlfriend to take a look at the carbon bonnet she would not give two bloody hoots!
Yet saying i could have bought another car whats the point in that???
So when people say u could have bought an evo, it pisses me off.... yeah i could have bought an evo !But im a vag man, trying to add to the vag scene!
God bless all you lovers........
Haters actually make me want to continue on it! As critisism is the key! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Wow Mr VW PRIME you really are a knight in shining armour aren't you **shakes head**
You actually managed to miss out all the positive comments i made towards Jake and his lovely track inspired Golf and pick the one comment that i only even wrote because Jake asked me to and you've took it totally out of context to make me look like i twit.
I don't appreciate being made an example of especially when i don't deserve it and if you look back through the thread you will realise that Jake has took no offence to what i have said to him so why the hell should you????
Just for the record i am big fan of golfs (which is why i bought one obviously) and vag in general and when you post up picks etc on public forums they are open to peoples opinions, it would be a pretty boring forum if everyone just kissed each others arses all the time, like anybody else i convey my opinion without intending to upset anyone and give credit where i think credit is due.
Lastely welldone jake on not following the crowd and like i said earlier, fair play to you, your doing something you love and your golf is looking good :wink:
-
buddy this is the shyt. i like the way your going and i hope you continue on the path chosen.
but in all the car looks balls man
have fun with it and i hope it turns out the way you want it :grin: :grin:
-
read my message again dudes, it pisses me off when people accuse me of saying why dont u buy an evo ,which i didnt say , all i said was an evo with a remap,straight through exhaust and stripped out can give any car a run for their money that they spent on their car , i was only refering to the porsche gt3 comment , which the porsche is expensive whereas an evo is reasonable and price and can give porsche a run for the money ..... :shocked:
movin on about opinion if someone cant take opinion then they better mention it on their thread so people will not bother to make opinion , just state KISS MY ARSE AND I KISS UR'S !

Apologies for using you as example Tony.
I'm not a key board worrier or any thing like that and some times people interpret words on a screen to mean something else.
Lets not get distracted from this post by Jake with a lot of hooooohaaaa of miss interpreted comments as that’s not what this post is all about, but a very nice car which looks like its going to be a very quick and light MK4 golf.

Looks great, but as someone mentioned sort out the front wipers! :wink:
I wish I had this sort of money to splurge, I'd have to do some very sensible stuff first and then some very silly things afters.
Surely "the balls" is better than just "balls"
Like "the boll0cks" is better than just "boll0cks"?
I love these threads when everyone goes bonkers! :evil: It's like not leaving a kiss (x) at the end of a text message to your GF and she thinks something's wrong! :grin: :grin: :grin:

hahaha
PMSL, so its not just my GF who thinks that then! :grin: :grin:

i think you should sell the golf and buy a seat go bother seat.net boys lol! :grin:
-
haha
I know, i feel really guilty, everyones falling out with each other over my car!
No...... honestly...... i love threads like this! I love the forum , but sometimes you get bored of hearing ' acceleration problems' or 'my cars leaking in water and i have to wear a snorkel to work'.
Sometimes its good to have a right good discussion! Its just funny its about my car :grin: :grin:
