Lito's MK4 GTI

[VWindahouse]

I really wouldn't put it past him being as handy as he is

Hey mate, I feel honered that you read the whe thread haha. Cheers on the kind words, it still has a little way to go but it's nearly where I want it to be. The turbo is rated for 400hp at the crank so if I can get close to that I'll be stoked. Still on the base tune as drivetrain issues are holding me back at the moment still mighty fun on the base tune dunno if I'll be at power cruise but if you're around Brissy you're more than welcome to come for a spin. As for doing this in 5 days.... I guess you could if you had all parts, tools, the expertise and nothing went wrong but something always goes wrong lol

And just because I'm a whore her it is chillin out side my mates house on the weekend

Thats works under the bonnet fine, I work on my car at the parents in the garage or at a mates so just come back and my car is faster/louder and shes doesnt really notic
but wheels she notice for sure... and will probably cost me a set for her car too!

[Lito]

Haha sneaky mods are the best, if she says something about getting new wheels just say "nah, i just had them painted" or something like that. Always worked on my gfs... Although I have been through about 3 girlfriends since having this car... I think I just had a light bulb moment haha

About your car or girlfriends? haha

Lol'd so hard! Seriously though I think this is one of the last pieces of the puzzle after this brakes then it should be sorted.... Should be I really need to get this clunking sorted though, every time I turn right with some intent the left wheel goes wobbly and makes a bad noise and this is with a freshly rebuilt oem drive shaft. So I'm guessing its the wheel bearing or dif. At least I've taken care of the more expensive option haha

I like your glass half full approach to modding mate

Well I was actually about ready to drive the thing into a ditch a couple of weeks ago but Gavin came to the rescue with some inspirational words. Something along the lines of "it wasn't broken before, so whatever is wrong with it can be fixed". Really gave me a fresh perspective, and more drive to get this car sorted, really want to hit the 1/4 mile when it's ready. What's the fasted ET a 1.8t has done in Australia?
