Hi all,

 

I use to have a MK1 which i stupidly got rid of and missed it the second it drove away!

I then decided to go all out and get a MK2 instead, i'm picking it up Thursday, it has a £600 exhaust system from Long Life and a remap from CC Tuning who i have messaged to see if they still have the dyno figures for me.

 

I only have pictures from the add, but it has had bits and bobs done so it wouldn't surprise me if it is someones off here.

Plans are:

ITG Induction

Coilovers & Spacers

Airtec Cooler

Forge FMIC

Still need: Coilovers, ITG induction & then maybe mapped again.

Dyno print out @221 not too bad, it'll have a little bit more with a nice ITG intake and a better map i think.

Lovely looking car! Those upgrades will transform it into an absolute beast! 221bhp is some good power, especially without a decent intake. Is that with the new intercooler? What made you want the airtec over the other ones out there on the market?

Yes that's without an intake and with the intercooler, i ended up going for a Forge FMIC in the end, no real reason. I know how delicate the engines are so didn't want to skimp out on anything.

Stupidly, i havent taped the old electrics away so they're flapping everywhere under the covers so that needs looking out, but heres how it looks.

Bought my "kill all wipers" delete on Friday, hoping to get mine fitted over the weekend.

Was it easy enough to do then?

What kind did you go for?

 

Yeah it was pretty easy, just be careful to keep all of the plastic pins together otherwise the boot lining will sag.

Got the new discs and pads on last night. Half the travel time on the brake pedal much better.

Original discs and pads.

Side by side

14075144_10208012367965294_1267584331_o_

Fitted

And how they look behind the wheel

14074991_10208012367565284_404450931_o_z

They look great. No doubt they give more confidence when braking hard. What other parts did you have to change to get them fitted?

It's atleast half the travel time & it was straight swap over of the calipers and disks, hangers help aswell.

Also have some wheels lined up next month, 9.75j on the rear and 8.25 on the front, will be a interesting fit to say the least!

He lives around the corner from me. Certainly think them wheels would look nice on the mk2.

So, had an accident with a curb at about 60mph. Managed to rebuild my whole nearside for about £250 luckily. Lower arm, track rod ends, drop link, driveshaft and front hub.

So, wheels on. flip me they're wide. Ordered some camber shims for the rear and going to see how they look. If still looks ridiculous then i'm going to my last option, hopefully it doesn't come to that.

 

Apart from that, i love them.

Wheels look nice mate, similar to when I test fitted some Porsche twists... 9J with 20mm adaptors and looked very similar!

Had to machine the back of the wheel down a few mm as well as the adaptors to get anywhere near reasonable.

I'm thinking about getting them machined tbh, how much mm did you get machined off and what sort of price were you paying for that? Cheers!
