Couldnt help myself

[kaneda]

Well i though i was over tinkering with cars so when i bought a mk4 gti for the other half to drive i looked for one with a few mods already so i didnt have to do anything cept for servicing..........well it didnt last long as i have already ordered a handfull of bits for it but though id post some pics of my tinkerings

The car so far

from seaching the net i found out a fair bit of the details of the car which was a big pluss although the service history is a little cloudy so first up is a timing kit from ecs so i can change waterpump at the same time .....and unfortunatly for me i decided to have a quick poke around the ecs site and ended up purchasing a turbo inlet pipe and a stack of other stuff.
While i was in the mood for buying stuff i bought a front mount which arrived in the mail today and if my son had his way we would have started to install it
right away

Still waiting on the ecs stuff to arrive then il get started



More pics to come

[Spyda]

The best mk4 i have seen on this site!

I have to say the that kink in the bonet where the badge used to be is one thing that shiz me.

Should be interesting to see what happens to it.

Looks great.
Is the height the only thing that's been Photo-shopped because the front valence looks a little off near the fender edge, for a stock valence? and the ground under the car doesn't seem to match with the background in the rest of the picture.
Very nice lighting effect on the side and body of the car, it could almost pass as pro studio lighting for a product shot in a promotional brochure.
What size and offset are your wheels, they look great?

Befor/after the contrast has been brought up more in the background which could explain why it looks funny ,but the rest of the car apart from height is how it is

It's a very nice car you have there. Keep us posted as you add stuff to the project, swap ideas etc. maybe post over in the MK4 section

This thing is a very nice looking car, and I can say from personal experience(from both the drivers and passengers seat) that this thing HAULS ARSE!!!! Also looks the biz too...

[Jarred]

hahah sneaky, using photo shop to make you car look lower.

The other alternative is to put a phat josh in the boot! hahaha.

Defiantly get coils, that way you can perfect that stance (and lower the back a little more)

Well i had enough of working so i have stopped for a little while (or untill i run out of cash) so i have lotsa spare time at the moment
Was mucking round looking at differnt rims for the car and dont mind these

but not really in a rush to change them.....
Still waiting on a box from ECS to arrive so gave the car a super cleen and did things like jacked the car up n scrubbed underneeth and took the wheels off to do the wheel arches (not sure if its something i did cos i have the time or its some sort of disorder


Sooooo after this i was still waiting for parts to arrive so i decided to pull the intake mani off n give it a pollish .....

only going to pollish the plenum and paint the runners black as they are a bit fidly and cant really see them once its back on the car.

Thats about it so far as im still waiting for parts to arrive (can you tell im impatient ) but they cant be far off now seeing they landded in Aus on saturday yet seem to be sitting in sydney
