my graphite blue gti
« on: July 22, 2010, 10:01:40 pm »
Hi , just registered up so thought I'd post some pictures of my motor , had the car for 18 months and apart from a dodgy injector the cars been great .
first little mod was a vwr pannel filter   

Then changed the 17's the car came with for a set of O.Z superturismos 

I started to want a bit more power so went for a bluefin stage1 remap which at first i was happy with but since had it taken off and had the handset reset - which is now for sale.
next on the list was a set of springs from vwr. few pictures from the day :
Hope you enjoyed , cheers

I tried fitting some Super Turismos to my first Mk1 Punto. They lasted just 2 days, before the situation went quite wrong!  :laugh:

So being a bit envious, I'm glad to see you got everything right Andy as they look quite stunning. I think they're a great OEM+ option for the Mk5 GTI or R32.
The colours very nice being one of the rarer ones  :happy2:

what went wrong  ? I forgot to put the spigot rings on first time round which caused some mental wheel wobble when I joined the motore way !

Basically, I whacked them on with radius bolts when they should've been tapered (perhaps the other way round?! They were just little 15"s). Either way, between fitting them on the saturday via a professional national chain who didn't highlight any issues, by the Tuesday they flew off at 55mph so I ended up with a flat bottom brake disc, 4 mile tailback and wet shoes from retrieving the stray offside OZ which had sheered off into the field on the left  :grin: :laugh:

Wasn't too funny at the time, but looking back on it sort of is now. Learnt a valued lesson though. If it was the drivers front that came off, I may not be here in the same state I suppose as I would've veered off towards the oncoming traffic as it was single C/Way :ashamed:

Yours look the business though and I'm relieved to see they're fitted properly  :wink:
