Jedi-Knight's Tornado Red 'fully loaded' OEM+ GTI - FOR SALE

[jedi-knight83]

Jedi, sorry, I'm copying your car. 

ha... feel free... i only really copied an ED30 :)

[jedi-knight83]

Sorry... not been on here in ages so just looking back at the progress and feeling pretty happy with myself :)

Recognition needs to go to R-Tech for many hours helping to sort out the remap as it had a few problems after my first map with another company, and also to Ed at APS for sorting and fitting the suspension which feels awesome.

What a difference 20 months and £5655 makes  

Anyway also looking through my recent posts and I have put bits in other threads so just copying a few pics here so its all in one place.

Detailed the car


Smoothed and wrapped my number plate plynth

Didn't realise how hard wrapping was. Took 2 attempts and its not perfect but it's as close as I can get it for now.




Colour coded the rear badge / handle

Taped up for painting


Primed


Painted


And the badge in black


Both lacquered


Complete


Installed my audison bit ten DRC in the ash tray




And the lid closes :)


Dead chuffed :)

Got the stealth sub build finished.


And the finished car....

[jedi-knight83]

Finally got my wheels refurbed lol. Been meaning to do it ever since I bought them second hand but just never got round to it. But after hitting a big pot hole recently and bending one very slightly I decided to get them all done.

Just stuck with the same colour / finish I already had. Satin black with a silver rim painted on. Painted the bolts satin and bought new bbs centre caps as well :)

Thanks to my mate for lending me his spare monzas while mine were away. Actually grew to like the look of them


The finished wheels

Love the red GTIs

[airbagaaron]

Stunning car, love the sub enclosure 

[Biano44]

Awesome car!

I must ask though, why did you swap the LC6 for the Bit Ten?
I'm trying to collect together all the parts for an audio install but I want to keep my RNS510 so I have been told to get a line out converter. Then I was told to get an LC6i and now a dealer has suggested a Bit Ten. Or, to put it another way, I have 3 options, one is £50, one is £150 and the Bit Ten is £300 so is it worth it?

In a short answer.... the bit ten is much better than the LC6i.

The bass is much deeper and more natural and you can set up time delays for the speakers with the bit ten.

I spent a decent amount on new speakers and amps etc but they didnt really come alive until the bit ten was installed.

Thanks for the reply.......as luck should have it, I managed to win a Bit Ten one on eBay for £126,  so I'm more than happy with that as long as it turns up that is.
I'm planning on installing everything at the end of next week. I want to put my amp under the passenger seat, so I need to find a place for the Bit Ten.....will I need access to it or can you do everything remotely with a laptop?

My bit ten was also about that price from ebay.

I put the bit ten under the driver seat and the display in the ash tray. Once set up you dont need to get to the main box so under the seat is fine. The extra display is very handy as you can adjust the sub level.

thinking putting a descreet sub enclosure in mine--just wondering if the sub works fine in the enclosure

Yeah, I did think about putting the Bit Ten under the drivers seat but my BT hands free kit is there, hence why I need to find somewhere else.
It's not a problem, it's a challenge. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Plus, I'm with Maxitrol, how does the sub sound?
