After putting up with my various projects since getting rid of our mk1 vrs

My projects:

Volvo 340 1.7t

Bmw E36 coupe drifter

Most recently a discovery 200tdi offroader

And driving a mk4 golf and more recently a Clio I decided that it was time for her to get back behind the wheel of a decent car again.

The hunt began, looked at cupra R's and S3's but she liked the mk1 that much the only option was a mk2.

So here it is.

I must say I'm impressed so far so here's hoping it turns out to be as good as the mk1 was.

Few things planned.

Wheel colour change

Filter

Exhaust

Map

Dv

Suspension

That'll probably be it but you never know http://www.briskoda.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/emoticon-0100-smile.gif

Not a lot to report here yet!

Love the Volvo had a 480 turbo it was brilliant when it worked

is that a cheeky side exit can exhaust ?

It was a crazy little thing, had the 440 turbo engine in it

If its in front of the front wheel then yes it's the exhaust lol

Yeah same as the 480 terrible engine made by isuzu if i remember mine earned me 20 grand as I was hit by bank robbers ha ha drove it home and the nsf wheel fell off on the drive while i sat therre laughing (in shock ) the sun roof hit me on the head #solid

Never had issues with this apart from it lighting tyres up at lairy speeds lol. Wish I'd never got rid tbh

She's finally settled on a wheel colour. It'll be sorted after our hols

Starting to look at mods for it as I've had my first proper journey in it today with a chance to stretch its legs and I'm not impressed. Its not as quick as I thought it would be and Definately not as quick as my mk1 so that needs addressing and the Handling is a bit wishy washy so needs sorting.

But other than that it seems ok.

Just goes to show that fancy expensive polishes aren't needed!

Unnamamed cheapo polish & plenty of elbow grease

Today is grille painting day

3rd coat of black is just drying nicely in the sun

4 coats of primer

6 coats of black

4 coats of lacquer

And hey presto

Binned the vrs badge.

Removed the front mudflaps!.......wtf?!

They won't be going back on!

This has had its nose pushed out now I've got the vr6 so things will be slow on the vrs front

Not much going on here apart from the ESP light on constant & a 01435 code when I got home this weekend!

Not impressed when I've got the golf to get done for gti fest. :(

After the unfortunate end my vr6 has seen.

I'll be taking the vrs on as my next project in the new year!

Plans aren't huge just stage 2 and a few tweeks in the looks & handling department.

Looking very nice just like mines. 

 

 

I'm liking the front black grill, looks aggressive. This will be my next mod, along with tints, and a few other mods

Looks tidy that.

Grill makes a massive difference and is a simple cheap mod, did mine myself so the finish isn't 100%.

Not good at respraying so not taking any risk. Will take it to a sprayer, as I am thinking to gloss black every front grill.

Needs a bath!

Plans are

9.5x18 rota grids

Fmic

Intake

De-cat & exhaust

Coilovers

Quickshift

Stage 2 map

Stereo install

In no particular order

Been off-roading? 

 

When are you planning to do these mods? Looking forward to see your car with a new set of shoes My first mod today was front and rear window's tinted.

The route to work is a back lane blaster through some woods

Mods will start after Xmas hopefully.

Pics of the tints? I want these doing

This is mine with rear tints. Bit of an older photo since I upgraded the badges. Just remember the legality of front tints. Mine are limo tint, rear windows cost me £170.

Gave it a well deserved wash and Hoover out today seen as I'm officially in charge of it now

Interior could do with a shampoo though
