this weekend i think i will stick the 1.8t in and fit the 11" x 15" wheels to the back with 9" x 15" to the front along with ever so suitable 145/80 15 tyres from kwik fit.


under car neons and assorted lumps of plastic from poundland should finish off the styling, then sunday i will polish it all :-)


maybe just clean the wheels and wax the bodywork i reckon, too poor for mods...well apart from fitting my ariel topper

Contiune stripping light blue GT; remove foglights, fuel tank and fuel pump.

Check lambda on dark blue GT

Ebay this grey GT interior Ive got lying about.

Rotate my rear wheels - Tyres are directional and are on the wrong sides - have been for about 2 months as well. :o

The list goes on...

Fit my new fuel pumps and filter, hope that it cures my G's pinking and try to temporarily fix my boost leak. Then fiddle with my CO pot to get it running right, and all being well go Barry-bashing Sat night. Not forgetting to take my set of Mk4 steelies home from uni and get them fitted with the set of cut slicks, ready for Donnington track day next Sunday.

And maybe tidy mine and yoof's shed and stick surplus random crap on Ebay. Hmm, like that's gonna happen!

modify a spare airbox base and grill for my GT so that I can have a ram effect air intake that should prove to be better than induction kits, thats if it doesnt stop raining, otherwise Im waterproofing the room on a shed.

I have been trying to sort out all the bits that I need for my brake upgrade. So far;

Audi 80 calipers and carriers
239mm vented disks, and new pads
Picking up braided hoses tonight

I have stripped the brakes of their old silver paint ready to paint red (thought I'd give red a go as I've always painted brakes silver).

Just need new nipples and an easy bleed kit.

I hope that mk2 Golf braided hoses fit the calipers, and I hope that the Audi brakes do 'fit straight on' like the seller told me they would.

The new vented disks and red brakes should look very good behind my new wheels!!!

Hopefully all done by the end of the week!

well it doesn't look like I'm going to get any of those things done now.

Was in a crash earlier on in a mate's Golf. I'm OK but I'm going to get myself checked out at hospital tomorrow morning & then I think I'll be helping my mate take various bits off the car as we're pretty much certain it's a write off.

It's set to about 50mm, it's mainly a motorway commute car and a track b***h, so its set to be comfortable enough for the road and sharp enough for the track. It's a better coilover kit than mine, so I'm naturally not happy! (Mine's not adjustable damping!)
