CW GTi
« on: August 05, 2010, 05:05:16 pm »
When it was born (as far as im concerned) :


After this JPC fitted me cruise! (no pic)

Then it went into evo mag:



I had a HPFP fitted at psi in stoke..

Then i went back and had WALK and AP Coilovers fitted:




Then i got some BBS Pascaras:




I was a little annoyed at myself for getting these...didnt really think it through. Front tyres needed changing due to low tread but also the 235 width was scrubbing all the time, so got some new tyres for the front, and had the nail in the tyre repaired at the back. The wheels still need refurbishing which i will be getting done asap and one had a flat spot in it which the guys at WRC said the can also remove for me.

Even back to 225 tyres it was still scrubbing, so i decided to get my hands dirty!

Wheels off (you can see the new tyres in that pic):



Then took this screw out and forced the wheel lining behind:




Then i took a rubber hammed and tapped the metal bit that held the screw up into the arch which left me with alot more room, then i increased the hight od the AP's by another thread and the results:




I then sent off the bluefin to get it reset so it will be ready with stage 2+...but as i had to have stage 1 first i thought it rude not to try it on the car! it was amazing! complete transformation.

Now i have some R32 brakes, a miltek TBE and an ITG it fit on the 20th august! and then the stage 2+ map and im done!


Im rather surprised i still have a fiancée after the amount of time i have spent looking at cars, buying things for it and talking about it!


Addition 13/08/2010:

I fitted my ITG: (pics are missing a nut and a tie)




Then fitted my Miltek...well i didnt but the nice garage people did.



Then stuck stage 2+ Map on!  :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :driver: :driver:

UPDATE 22/08/10

BrAkes went on yesterday! made a massive difference.

Gloss or even satin black would do the trick.

I saw your car in Evo Ed and wondered if it was someone on here...  :drinking:  :happy2:
I showed the buying guide to a good few of my mates, trying to get them into the Dub and Mk5 scene  :jumpmove:

I love the stance and wheels, top marks. I was going to fit Pescaras/VZ's but I didn't want mine looking like an ED30 wannabe, as I've got an ED30 splitter + rear lights  :ashamed: & I'm a big fan of my current wheels.

Yours pulls it off well though.
