Ryans MK2 GTI

Top tip: Clean the inside's of your dizzy and get the timing gun out!

MK2's are funny little things

After another spurlge at Jaycar, removed the original roof insulation (cotton carpet glued to the roof with green contact glue).
Up goes the Dynamatt + new amplified aerial.

hey ryan, sifting through your thread atm, QQ - how did u manage to get all of the cotton carpet and the glue plastic base off the ceiling? Cheers in advance

Hey Russ,

I used a plastic scraper/heatgun + some wax & grease remover.
Took me quite along time too!

Yay or Nay to number plate frames?

Yes but in black, can't really see them in the photo

Nice pipes, Sound great, Have you noticed any better performance?

Black came to mind after I bought them :/
It defiantly seems a bit 'stronger' but I properly timed the engine after replacing the exhaust, couldn't say for sure what mod helped it out.

So, I bought a Honda..........

Ewwwwww... Get that $h*^ off here!!

So what the plans with the mk2 now??

[ryana89]

No plans really, just eyeballing some things here and there that need replacement/upgrading.
Got an ADY laying around too........

its amazing how much tinted/smoked taillights improve the look of the mk2...

[ryana89]

20 year old lamp ware was starting to show its age, glass was tainted, sand/rock blasted and reflector chrome starting to peel.
New vs old




All back together,



Looking into possibly HID'ing the high beams/spots.

Also, anyone got some tinted side indicators?

[Surfpig]

Ebay does, i just got mine for about $20

[Bamish1000]

I have a new set of Black indicators and a new set of crystal clears....let me know if you want pics?
