Hello guys, just thought id introduce myself as a newby on this forum. :tongue:
Just got my first VW about a week ago and here are some pics of it.
Its a Mk3 GTi 2.0 16v in Majestic Blue which already had some nice mods including full leather heated interior and the alloys. I absolutely love the car.
Having a little teathing problem with misfire, but I have read through the 'Garage' threads and am going to try a few idea's from there. Have already done a few things but to no avail, but I am determined to persevere and get the car running right because apart from that I absolutely love it. The last owner was a lady driver (with the same love of car's as I) but her husband is a VW enthusiast so you can imagine the loving care and money that has been spent on it.
Not really planning any more mods at the moment. Oh, apart from correcting the eye brows which I like the look of but think they need to be switched over to loose that gap. The 17 inch Alloy's are off an Audi but I think they suit the car so probably wont be changing them, they are in real good condition. Its also been lowered as you can see, and gives a really nice ride. Rubbing slightly so we are going to higher the rear adjustables just slightly. And of course the de-badged grill is already done.
All in all, I think I found myself a gem and I am now hooked. Hope you all like it!!!
Look forward to chatting to you all.... :wink:
(p.s - pics were taken the day I bought the car so arent the best. Will get some nicer ones later on, including some of the interior :laugh:)

Just wait till I get my little misfire problem sorted, then you'll have to watch out on the roads too. :grin:
Girl racer alert. :evil:
Having to drive like a pussycat at the moment and its killin me. It'll be so nice to get out there and thrash some kiddy racer butt!! In a completely legal way of course. :undecided:
I have replied to a post in the 'Garage' forum (Help for a newbie - Mk3 Gti 2.0litre 16v - started by Len405) explaining the problem, so anyone who can reply with some help would be wonderful.

Nick

Dont worry, im probably the type to post useless things too. Asking questions about this and that all the time and drive everyone mad. Soon as I sort one thing on the car, no doubt i'll think of something else to change/mod/fix etc. I get bored easily and probably think too much. :embarassed:

like big wings, neons and stickers for better road handling...... :lipsrsealed:
-
I can vouch for that .lol  :wink:
-
no no no stickers give you an extra 50 bhp
-
Dont worry, im not into the Max Power type kidy racer mods. I like my cars to have a certain amount of maturism (is that a word?) about them.
Although I was fancying a set of LED light up seat covers with matching steering wheel cover at my local mod supplier today. :undecided: JOKE Im not that sad :angry:
-
no no no stickers give you an extra 50 bhp
Unless its a turbo sticker then it gives you 60bhp
-

ha ha ha ha :laugh:. On a more serious note if you put neon lights around your car if will give you 82.43% better handling. are you
getting an idea of what this site is like hayley
-
what has the count (
or me) started.... :huh: :lipsrsealed:
-
cant believe you've started this mix I'm disappointed in you :grin:
-
Well actually, I was going to ask what you all thought about me getting some all round under-car blue neons? Thought it would set the colour of the car off great. Plus then, I wouldnt have to do anything naughty to get pulled by the cops!! Good idea or what??  :huh:
-
think it will be a bad idea to be honest :evil:
-
yes, yes it is........... :huh:
-
a very, very, very bad idea :shocked:
-
NEONS...O DEAR!!!!!!  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
-
Erm, you guys do realise I was messing.... dont you? :shocked: Oh god, you think im a real saddo now dont you? Ooopps. :cry:
-
he he, you'll get the hang of the guys/girls on this site soon ( although they are all clincally mad) :laugh:
-
Welcome to the forum, Im new here too, hope you enjoy this site as much as I do.
:grin:
-
Ok ok, slightly more serious. What do you all think of Lexus rear lights on a Mk3? I tend to prefer the crystal type ones to the chrome background/clear ones or such like. Any preferences?
Mine has got the standard smoked type which I quite like on the car, so probably wont change them. But hey, anythings possible!
-
Hayley, don't do it, Lexus lights are sh1te on a Lexus let alone anything else, don't do it go for crystals of some sort. :grin:
-
stay with smoked
I think smoked rear lights rule on a mk3
-
I think i'll take your advice and stick with them. They do look good!
-
with your colour car, the hella colour magic smoked lights would look awesome.. very heavily smoked and just blend in with the rest of the tailgate
-
hello there girly.........nice to see some more girls joinin :wink:
-
Welcome to the forum hun! :smiley:
I cant believe mix,fin,count..n whoever else..cos ive just had to read four pages o ur drivel for to say that..honestly..you people with nothin more to offer than nonsense..really,shud b ashamed :rolleyes: :grin:
Gud to hav another girlie on board!
Diane :kiss:
-
Yeh, was thinking of the completely smoked lights. But my other half keeps banging on at me that the lights that are on it are fine.
Maybe i'll leave them as they are, then when I get one of my board moments after a while of owning it, i'll think about the dark smoked ones!
Yey, some more lady drivers. Nice to meet you gals!!
-
Blue rear light clusters look cool! :rolleyes: :wink:
Me biased! :shocked:
Welcome Hayley.
-
You got any pics of that? I see your's is the same colour as mine. Good colour init!!
-
Ummm yea but cant be arsed to upload em! sorry
Cant remember if there was a rear view in the Newark Meet photos. Think they were all front views of my car!
Keep meaning to upload my Newark photos but aint got round to it yet!
Bit like you Hayley - i'm a bit lazy too! :wink: :laugh:
-
Cant blame ya! lol
When you do get a sudden urge, do give me a shout as i'd like to see them. Be nice to see pics of the car anyway!!
-
Well i have uploaded some to YorImageHost - just cant be bothered to transfer em to here!
There is a nice shot of both my cars in the garage just before i set off, so that will show the rear lens!
-
Which thread? I'll go take a look.
-
Havent transferred em yet!! :rolleyes:
But the Newark Meet photos are worth a look - go to the meets section and click on the Lincolnshire bit in the title block. Bout 3 threads with photos in.
-
Just had a quick flick through, but couldnt find em.
-
Have to be patient then! not easy for girlies i know but.......... :wink: :laugh:

-
Patience isnt my thing at the moment. Thats why I dont have kids yet. If I cant fix it, I throw it. Bit of a phase im going through I think. :embarassed:
-

-
Woah, those lenses make the back of the car look totally different.
-
Putting photos in threads now Len, steady on ! You'll be using electricity soon and everything ! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Yes gibby - i always keep my promises - especially to a lady! :wink:
Yea had a practice in the Newark meets section. Took a couple of attempts, but with a bit of a nod in the right direction from tophur i got there in the end. :laugh:
-
Yes Hayley - a lot different. Its better in the flesh, thats not a good photo.
Still not totally sold on it myself. If you look at my pics in the Newark Meets section you will also see a pic of Wotto's green car with smoked lens and next to it a lexus type one.
I like the blue, but not totally sold on it yet.
