Can't see a black roof on that picture  :undecided:
Doesn't look like its lowered 60mm

Has the boot had a respray in the past? The paint looks very poor the way it has just peeled away from the primer like that  :undecided:
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 16 January 2011, 00:07

Post by: houston on 16 January 2011, 11:07
if i were you id just get a replacement boot than trying to fix it, at least then you know its all good and gonna get no more nasty surprises. has the rear wiper been leaking?

shame its done that cos your car looks lush! and its an agu so the forge splitter will be fine
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 16 January 2011, 12:18

Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 22 January 2011, 23:48
Gave it a mega clean today  :cool: wash, polish and seal! :D
and put my sticker on the back

and fitted my bora vents that i got for £12 from the breakers!! bargain... however there not illuminated! and i left all the wires and led's there... how far do you need to take the wireing back out of the bora and in to the golf?

(http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu109/tobe1990/DSCF2015.jpg)(http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/uu109/tobe1990/DSCF2014.jpg)

Post by: dazzawest1987 on 23 January 2011, 07:42
looks good mate, good idea with the sticker :smiley:
is your clutch starting to slip then?
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 23 January 2011, 09:47
not slip, its just right at the top? i stalled it twice yesterday getting up my drive in reverce!! haha! im used to driving a van i guess  :undecided:

but i will upgrade it to probaly vr6 with g60 flywheel, all i got to pay for is the vr6 clutch, and then get a mate to fit it for £150  :smug:
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: JC on 23 January 2011, 16:53
right you SOoooooooooooo need to get ya mate to sort ya a BIgger version of that sticker  :undecided: :huh:


 so the Roof and window pillars go round the boot lock handle.  :smug:

but the stop gap one works  as a stop gap  :smiley:
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 23 January 2011, 17:07
Very nice Tobe, I have always had an urge to buy a MK4 1.8T in red, although I'd need a 3 door as I don't like MK4s in 5 door. Still, bet you're really pleased. :)
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Rhyso on 23 January 2011, 19:33
You need to make up a wiring loom for the bora vents

Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 29 January 2011, 14:29
Smoothed my air box today and washed it... really wanting a remap now... but im £1400 in debt.. so thats got to wait  :sick:
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: houston on 02 February 2011, 13:16
the cover that you have missing on your bulkhead is cover for the pollen filter, you will need to get it as soon as you can, theres a water channel down there and water can get to places you really dont want it

and why has the rubber seal been cut? whats that wiring for? id look into that if i were you mate.

good idea with the sticker, doesnt look out of place either
Title: Re: Toby's MK4 GTI Turbo
Post by: Toby on 03 February 2011, 23:03
yeah i really do need to get it sorted, try and find one from the breakers


Anyway... today i got REVO state 1 remap.. but didnt get to take it out cause i broked the ignition amplifer!  :angry: :angry: :angry: so guna pop in to breakers tomorow and try and find one! if  not then no rr day for me saterday  :undecided: :sick:

got some new wheels to go on either tomorow , sat, or sunday :) needs a dam good clean  inside and out!!  looking forward to this remap!

tax is due end of feb.. so no more mod's as im still in debt  :sick:

when your at scrappy make sure you got the pollen filter retainer too, looks like yours is missing.

£200.. and yea i will keep my eye out, tomrow its carpets out and dry it all out to see if its still leaking

Also..

128000 miles... clutch.... FAIL!! so new vr6 and flywheel being fitted this week.. for a nice fee i may ad  :smug:

to much power for the old girl..

also plans tomorow is to try and relocate the boost gauge, and move the head unit cubby hole to the bottom and not the top.. and maybe fit the new wheels :|
