Nitrous is going to come off (scares me a little haha) and I’m in the process of tiding all the masses of wiring, as it’s had many additions over the years, nitrous wiring, water meth, boost gauge, sub in its past, some pics before I started my bits and pieces

New GearKnob to match the dash

Got bored so thought I’d see how the dv looks and sounds. There’s a clip on my Instagram @citigovrs for sound as it’s abit of a big file to fit on here

A bit of an update, Had a bit of time off from posting but I’m now back citigos had a little done to it now back on oem Gti suspension 15” Auriga Monte Carlo alloys I changed the fuel tank for a later facelift tank and a new gti fuel pump as ever since I did the conversion I had a fuel pump error code as i was using the original car head and internals from the gti pump and even though it caused me no issues, I didn’t want anything to crop up when it’s eventually remapped. Mk4 Fabia Monte Carlo steering wheel fitted and stainless pedals, just waiting on a new gear knob and interiors pretty much how I want. Also fitted another Brazilian part I imported which is a stainless charge pipe and dv, although you can choose to blank of the dv which is how I’m running it currently. It’s so comfy on 15” with the oem suspension 😁 Some pictures!!

Yes updates soon cheers for reading

Thanks and Cheers for reading

Great stuff and the best colour, very underrated silver

Thanks for taking time to look through thread 👍🏼 are you in York yourself then? I’m normally up and down a64 to Leeds and back in it

I’ve pm’d dont know how often you check in on here

Wow lovely

Did a little fitting vid of the intake if anyones bored and has 20mins to spare 😂 https://youtu.be/joe7bzH-yJI

Yes it’s certainly handy to have,

Also fitted a new intake imported from Brazil slight problem with original air filter fitting as the citigo bonnet is slightly steeped where the slam panel is but luckily I had a slimmer one here I can use rest of kit is lovely and incoperates the turbo elbow too

Been busy last couple of days, traction control button wired in as it cannot be disabled on these from factory and coded to work.

No not plug and play runners need modding slightly at front and new holes drilled in rear, they are physically same width as originals then airbags rewiring and passenger occupancy sensor swapping in passenger seat. I made mine plug and play

My new steering wheel arrived hopefully I can get the buttons operating the mfd, watching a couple of airbags just have to wait a month or so

I do like the octy style twin exhaust, god know how to make that work 😂

Cheers I’ve got one in the post as we speak 😂

Still got these if any interest they are really good looking alloys can’t believe I’ve not sold them yet

Just fitted facelift rear lights so now I’m in cool down mode for abit, just needs a service soonish

Alright bud haha, doesn’t get the traffic on here it used too but good to see some familier names still about though

Got my last switch for dash I was waiting for, got some facelift rear lights coming tomorrow and I’ve fitted vrs badges now . Overall other then the steering wheel I’m pretty damn happy atm

Thanks for reading. Yes I would like rear discs in the future as for the seats You do sit quite low with the TT seats although it suited me I’m 1.88m someone on the up owners clubs forum did fit them too but his daughter struggled to reach the pedals properly

Some new bits - Swapped the Eibach springs out for h&r so should be around 10mm down front and rear - EBC Yellowstuff pads to go with the Ebc slotted discs I already have - Powerflex arb bushes - Various genuine new bolts and rear top mounts
