Nice ride buddy

you got anything planned?

[jamiehall571]

looks a nice base to do some good mods!

[Bert-NW]

Remap coming soon.

Spoiler needs spraying and fitting.
Want wheels and lowering
Colour coding.

Thatll be about it. Need a house soon so funds limited

[Bert-NW]

First real mod on.

I have a spoiler to go on that the missus got me for Xmas  :oops: but it still needs spraying and a badgless grill that needs spraying too,

Car is being valeted Friday for Springfest hence being a little dirty!

Looks much better IMO

And here it is on the strip at POD yesterday! Amanda took them while I ran a 17.1

Not bad considering it was roasting and I had a weekends worth of stuff in the boot You'll notice new wheels too

Well I was gonna wait but I thought I'd be nice!

Car has been at Awesome GTI most of day for some work:

AP Coilovers
Eibach Front and Rear ARB's
Tarox front pads
Service
Generic Remap

So now its a bit more bouncy on the road and pulls very well  On the rollers tomorrow to find out the difference

Anyway enough words

What bhp you looking to see on the rollers ?

I recon the back end could do with a de-wiper mod

How do you find the Arbs do they make a big difference ?

[Bert-NW]

Im hoping for about 170 and close on 300 ft/lb of tourqe.

I reckon you could be right

Difficult to say now. Its only been done today and I havent been out for a "spirited" drive yet.

[B47t0n]

I've been after a set of arbs for a while now just never got round to getting some :(been told they make the car feel/drive amazing . May I ask where did you buy yours ?

[Bert-NW]

Awesome GTI supplied and fitted them for me.

[Bert-NW]

WOW!

I didn't realise the remap would make the difference it has.

I'll post the graph later. But 170 BHP and 344 ft/lb of tourqe is making me most happy.

Although I might need a new clutch soon!

[B47t0n]

goood news pal  a nice 40bhp increase there

 

bet the tourqe feels good

[Bert-NW]

The tourqe is awesome. It pulls like a train now:

Cant take credit for the sig. Thats someone else handywork.

[PhilR32]

 Looking good bert. roof looks ok. still dislike those wheels. lol

[Bert-NW]

Cheers Phil

As I said they were dirt cheap (including tyres) so will do for now.

Once winter comes Ill put the 15's back on and either get the refurbed or get something else its all about the ££££ though

[Derpins]
