Scribbles' Banana GTI - Massive Update - Nurburgring, Brands Hatch, Morettes & Brembos

[Scribbles]

Here's my GTI as I bought it a couple of weeks ago, I've only debadged it and fitted a Green panel filter since. Might be refurbing the wheels in black after winter as well.

Plans are lower 50mm on Blisteins and Eibachs, black morrettes, Supersprint de-cat and some Ultraleggeras not sure what colour yet probably black but might get the new red ones.

Could end up like this...

[wilksey]

looking nice not to sure on the red rims tho mate id get the black rims and paint a yellow rim on it like the sound of the other plans tho

[Ben]

Don't do the rims red. Black will look smart, or maybe white. But your car is gorgeous matey.

[Scribbles]

Yer I'm a bit undecided on the wheels they will probably go black cause I think that would look best with the rest of the car.

[Dan-Subtle]

lovely car, always had a soft spot for this colour gti.

[Marshy]

Very nice car mate :y:

I think red wheels would look good, but they would need to be smaller than in that photoshop pic imo :)

[Ash-VTR]

sick colour

[a17vts]

I would keep it standard looking if I were you.

[Danr]

The majority of yellow gti's have black morrette's and black wheels. It's pretty boring imo.

[AlexB]

looks funky mate

[HollyAnne]

i like that lots, but black wheels not red xXx

[Ashleyp]

please dont ruin it by putting morrettes on it!

[PSPDan]

Looks good, don't think the red rims will look good though unfortunately.

[Scribbles]

Thanks for the comments.

I'd only be getting 15" wheels and I'm gonna keep all the standard parts so I can put it back to standard if I decided to sell up or whatever.

Tbh most yellow GTi's look very similar with the yellow and black theme so I'd like mine to be a bit different but don't really know what will look good until I try it.

[Hodgins91]

I would keep it standard looking if I were you.

agreed
its hard to come by a really nice example of a nana GTI

ive always wanted one of these but got the S instead :-/

if it was mine id go for chrome angles on front and the MR style i think they call them :wacko: rear lights (clear top and red bottom) and leave it at that....but its not mine...do your own thing lol
nice car btw

[Steve_90]

engine engine bay could do with a clean. but red wheels would look naff on yellow imo. how about anthracite? black? pretty common combination but sets the car off good.

[h12eay]

looks nice, go yellow and white! :D

[AdamR]

Nice car! Good plans aswell, sure whatever wheel combination you go with will look smart....apart from red! ;)

[Peasnall]

something along these lines would be uber cool:

[CHIP]

I think red rims would look good!

[Mike_08]

loving it mate/ i really want a nana GTi :y: dont listen to this lot lol go with the red rims looks the fucking sex

[jamie_w]

red ultras ftw!!!!

[3cott]

looks nice mate.
love nana gti's

[Karl]

red wheels would be a tad gash.
Dont ruin a very iconic hot hatch.

[LVC_VTR]

love the colour mate i would put some black rims on it though :y:

[Scribbles]

Lol I don't plan to ruin it, but the red wheels option has caused quite a lot of controversy. I won't be able to afford them for a few months anyway so I've got time to think about it.

[louis_23]

what rims are those on the nana now are they team d's pro race? if so why do they always look soooo much better on a pug than a saxo. ;)

[Danr]

Tbh most yellow GTi's look very similar with the yellow and black theme so I'd like mine to be a bit different but don't really know what will look good until I try it.

I think yellow with white vts/nimrods/cyclones would look good with the rest standard or colour coded :)

[RAL]

u got a lovely lookin car mate don't ruin it with the red rims!

The black rims looked good on the other GTi

[Mike_08]

just like saxo's ' lower, smoked lights all round.....' dare to be diff mate all the people i know with nana's do yellow and black do yellow and red :P it will be lush

[Mathias]

Red wheels ftw!!:y:

Think im going to get a set of those aswell!!

Be different!! ;)

[wrighty89]

looks a really good starting point.
black wheels i think.

[wrighty89]

[Scribbles]

I thought I'd make this a progress blog as I have now sort of made some progress.

Since I've had it I debadged the boot and got some red GTI badges and painted the bonnet badge black no pics of it fitted yet.

Also gave it a service and fitted a Green panel filter.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01633.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/09102008039.jpg

Over Christmas I set about purchasing a set of Bilstein B8 dampers, Powerflex bushes, Faulkner 155lb/in springs and a Raceland induction kit. Ordering a better Green filter for it from Kam Racing before the induction kit goes on. Hopefully getting the suspension bits on in the next couple of weeks.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01643.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01645.jpg

Been thinking about refurbing my wheels in black so I thought id do the spare see how it turns out and go from there. Its turned out ok so I'll be doing the others when I get some spare time.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01639.jpg

I've been invited to a rolling road day on the 17th January so I'm gonna keep it standard engine wise till then so I can see what difference any mods I make have done.

[SaxoMuffin]

looking good cant wait to see all the goodies fitted :D

[Prickle]

Looks smart, do nana yellow alloys :p black calipers

[Dan]

Looks good matey. Some nice parts to add too.

[Scribbles]

Looks smart, do nana yellow alloys :p black calipers

I think yellow wheels would be a bit too much yellow lol.

Thanks really looking forward to get them fitted.

[saxokid100]

Thanks really looking forward to get them fitted.

I luv new parts!!! looken good................:y::p

[CHIP]

Looks smart, do nana yellow alloys :p black calipers

Are you mad :wacko: lol

Some nice parts. Should be sweet once you've started fitting bits

[Xsi16v_Jk]

Will look lush on them 14s.
Was thinking of keeping them on mine but went with Vts rims. Mine sits on the same suspension kit as yours but ive got 50mm apex springs.
You will love every min trust me!!

What other plans have you got in mnd, mani/system??

[Prickle]

Are you mad :wacko: lol

Nah lol, its different, get some spare alloys and do it:D

Thanks for the comments, tried out the wheel today and it looks good so just got to do the rest of them.

Future Plans:
Finish the other wheels
Powerflex Lower Engine Mount
Compbrake Quickshift
Kam Racing Uprated Gear Linkages
Supersprint Manifold
Supersprint Mid-Silenced Center Section & Race Backbox
Paint Cam Covers

Then that'll be it for a while but will be on the look out for some 15/16" Super/Ultraleggeras, 4 pots and maybe some morettes if I see any going cheapish.

[si_pow]

Peasnall- That looks imense! After my VTR I intend on saving up the pennies to get a yellow GTI, they are schweet as feck. Nice car Scribbles; but please dont put Red alloys on it. :)

[Xsi16v_Jk]

Sounds good scribbles - you have got exactly the same ideas as me haha.
Nice.

[Scribbles]

I don't they'll be going red now not for road wheels anyway they'll be black, maybe some red track wheels in the future though.

Sounds good scribbles - you have got exactly the same ideas as me haha.
Nice.

Ha great minds think alike.

[CaldzieVTR]

DO it mate them red rims will look class and will stand out.

mint looking motor 2

[Hopcraft]

Very nice, good base to start from, im not keen on the photoshop but hey.

[Scribbles]

Went to a Rolling Road day Sunday so a little update on power status, and my Powerflex lower engine mount and Green filter for my Raceland arrived today, and whacked on my new sticker I got sunday.

[PSPDan]

Love it mate really nice!!

[Jamie]

Looks a goodun!

[Day_hughes]

[AlexB]

i need to sticker mine up lol

[Elliott]

Looks tidy mate.
Love yellow GTI's

Also the shed sticker...Cant seem to see were they are on the site?

[CazLad]

looks lush mate, nana 106's are the nicest :D

[AlexB]

Looks tidy mate.
Love yellow GTI's

Also the shed sticker...Cant seem to see were they are on the site?

fmp sells them

[Elliott]

what's fmp dude?

[AlexB]

fmp is a lad on shed

[Scribbles]

Cheers for the comments guys.

Alex your GTI looks lush on those wheels what are they? Compomotive Flat face MO's?

[AlexB]

yea flat faced mos :D
there pretty lush but im tempted to sort my ultraleggeras out for it

i love the pic of yours on red ones
should get it done lol

[Scribbles]

I'm looking for some but I can only find Ford fitment ones second hand and dont fancy forking out 600+ on new wheels and tyres at the minute.

I would get the ford ones if I see some cheap but I wanted to run 20 and 25mm spacers on standard fitment for a pimp stance.

[AlexB]

you may end up with hectic rubbage doing that man
i looked into getting 8" wide ones for my rears to get stance (i have 16s) but the amount of archwork needed is silly

i would keep the fitment about standard tbh

[Scribbles]

Something to think about then I guess.

[kev]

looks like the front bumper needs some lookin at looks a bit low at the side or might just be were the camera is takein the pic

[AlexB]

Something to think about then I guess.

mind your not as low as mine so you could probably get away with it its a tough call really

[Elliott]

Is that a 4 inch sticker you got mate?

[Scribbles]

looks like the front bumper needs some lookin at looks a bit low at the side or might just be were the camera is takein the pic

Yeah its hanging down slightly as the bracket is bent, I need to get the bumper off at some point and sort it out but haven't had the time.

Is that a 4 inch sticker you got mate?

Yeah it is a 4" fits just below the crease on the bootlid.

[Scribbles]

Its actually a 6" sticker just measured it mate.

[Barry123]

can't believe your torque figure mate! :fcuk:

11.4lb.ft up on me :(

[AlexB]

can't believe your torque figure mate! :fcuk:

11.4lb.ft up on me :(

you still got more than me

i got 104 lol
its a joke

[Barry123]

you still got more than me

i got 104 lol
its a joke

really we should have a rolling comparison between the two of us on a quiet motorway or something just to see if there is any significant difference... maybe :)

[AlexB]

i rekon youll get away from me tbh mate

give me a few months and we can try it ;)
ill have cams and xsi box by then lol

[LEE_VTR1]

yo dude car looked nice at the RR meet just need to lower your tbar's
i know plenty of people who can help you with that though,

made good figures too for a nearly standard car, will look sweet on black raptors and every better on black or anth super/ultra leggars.

15's the best size wheels for a saxo/106 too mate.

[Barry123]

i rekon youll get away from me tbh mate

give me a few months and we can try it ;)
ill have cams and xsi box by then lol

reckon? Didn't think there was any difference on the way back t'other night...

and yep I'd like to do that too (so I know for future reference when I hopefully do that to mineeeee)

:)

[samco77on]

looks good scribbles. i powder coated my raptors black for a little while, then bought 16inch white pro race 1.2's. cant believe the power figure you made from a standard engine. thats really good.

i like the red wheels, looks good dont follow the croud and make your car a bumblebee, have a poisonous frog. lol

[AlexB]

reckon? Didn't think there was any difference on the way back t'other night...

and yep I'd like to do that too (so I know for future reference when I hopefully do that to mineeeee)

:)

my cars shite tbh mate
i rekon if we had a play youd get away
plus i have more weight than you normally with my seats n sub ect

[Walsall_saxo]

Here's my GTI as I bought it a couple of weeks ago, I've only debadged it and fitted a Green panel filter since. Might be refurbing the wheels in black after winter as well.

Plans are lower 50mm on Blisteins and Eibachs, black morrettes, Supersprint de-cat and some Ultraleggeras not sure what colour yet probably black but might get the new red ones.

Really nice mate:y:

[Scribbles]

Haven't updated this for a while and missed a few of the comments so...

A bit strange that mine made a fair bit more torque then the other standard cars and some of the modded ones, hopefully its a sign that its been well looked after.

Still undecided on the wheels, ideally I'd like to have 2 sets of ultraleggeras in black and red but there proving difficult to find secondhand ones so may have to buy new (only one set obviously).

UPDATE

Right, well I got the Powerflex lower engine mount fitted and the torsion bar lowered 50mm so ride height is now spot on pics to follow tomorrow after the MOT.

I've almost finished my wheels just need a coat of laquer so I can get them on tomorrow morning, here they are in their current state (drying in the kitchen) and the car looking lost without them.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01696.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01692.jpg

Made a new purchase as well...

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01687.jpg

OMP Inox Exhaust plus check my retro green carpet, was gonna get a Supersprint but this came up on offer so it would have been rude not to. Can't wait to hear it, need to get some exhaust clamps and gaskets sorted first though and MOT out the way.

[adamsax]

Lovely, but your front bumper is sitting a bit pissed on the arch and it's bugging me.

That exhaust is mean.

Nice.

[Scribbles]

I know the bumper is sitting funny one of the arches is also missing a couple of clips, its annoying me too but cba to take the bumper and arch off to fix it may do this week.

For the arch clips is it just a case of removing the arch lining and the bumper just 4 bolts?

[Scribbles]

MOT passed with no advisories, excellent.

Then I went for a small photo shoot with the freshly painted wheels...

[JayWard]

Looks mint mate, love this colour! what else you got planned?

[Scribbles]

I think for now it will be fit the parts I've got sitting around, then get some OMP strut braces and a Supersprint mani then save for bit and enjoy driving it and maybe some new wheels in summer.

[Davekelz]

Love it mate, some smoked rear lights would look cool me thinks!

[Edinnit]

I just got a set of raptors powdercoated for mine mate
Youve got a huge blog on here.....not go on 106oc much?

I still go on there don't post much but I update it on there it just didn't have much interest tbh, you get your wheels done black? should look good on the quiky.

[Danr]

Everyone seems to do black wheels on nana gti's. Looks good but personally i'd like to see something different done.

I've been toying with the idea of red ultraleggeras (see post 1) but can't find any second hand ones to refurb, and if I was to buy new I would get black ones as I know they'd look good and the red ones might be difficult to sell on if I didn't like them.

[JoshB]

Looks gorgeous that mate, well jealous over your exhaust! Where did you manage to find that!!!

Have you seen the yellow 106 with red 206 wheels? Don't look that great imo.

Silver will become original soon lol!

[PETE-VTR]

nice exhaust mate, hows it sound?

[Scribbles]

Looks gorgeous that mate, well jealous over your exhaust! Where did you manage to find that!!!

YBRacing had one on ebay that was in the clearance as the last one in stock good price as well.

This one...

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/Random/rw.jpg

It does look good, I did have some naughty thoughts about red VTS wheels (maybe indigo blue) which is still an option if I see a cheap set.

nice exhaust mate, hows it sound?

Had my MOT today so wouldn't have been a good idea to turn up with a decat freshly fitted, when I do fit it I'll make a vid.

[3cott]

It would look sweet with red vts or 206 wheels..

What about red nimrods??

[Scribbles]

Not a fan of nimrods plus they are the heaviest wheel known to man.

[JayWard]

Plans sound good, bet you cant wait to get everything on so you can just enjoy it and get the reactions ;) you going to FCS?

[Hopcraft]

Looking good.

FINALLY i see a picture with 206 wheels on.

I wanted these when i had my vtr, but couldn't find any anywhere, blatenly get some sirroccos (sp, 206 wheels)

[Scribbles]

Thanks for the comments, and yeah I will be at FCS different stand though.

[PSPDan]

It looks lush mate. I'm very jealous!!

[TU-Tuning]

I was watching that OMP system too mate, couldn't believe it finished that low I would have put a bid in.

Car looks great

[louis_23]

that looks the dog's mate good work. im tempted to get some them rims on my car now ;)

[Scribbles]

I was watching that OMP system too mate, couldn't believe it finished that low I would have put a bid in.

Car looks great

I was gonna get a Supersprint but the OMP being stainless thought it would be the better option plus its rarer and everyone has a Supersprint or Pugsport on 106s.

that looks the dog's mate good work. im tempted to get some them rims on my car now ;)

Do it.

[Scribbles]

Picked this up two days ago. Still awaiting the correct boss.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01715.jpg

Had these a while now they turned up the day I went back to uni.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01714.jpg

Part fitting starts tomorrow, been at uni for 6 weeks.

That is all.

[Ferg]

Shed Sponsored wheel?

[Scribbles]

Yeah its the Shed wheel, picked it up from Alex on Wednesday.

[Ferg]

It looks good ... What's it like in the flesh? Any word on the Boss situation?
And to continue 20 Questions ... Are you going to the BHP show?

[Scribbles]

In the flesh the suede is quite good quality and it looks well stitched together, whatever they use to colour the spokes isn't the best quality but for the price its still good value for money.

Alex said he would speak to RD about the bosses and see if they'll swap them if not it'll be a refund and find your own boss. I have heard about similar problems with other bosses though about not canceling indicators and what not so they probably are the right ones just rubbish.

Hmm I'm tempted to go to the BHP show but I'd have to be back in Loughborough the same night and not sure if I fancy the 190 mile trip back after the show. If I'm back for the bank holiday and or can get a day off I might turn up and pay on the door.

[Ferg]

I've also seen that many of the bosses don't cancel the indicators, but that's not a major problem really. Like you say the bosses just might be rubbish.

Hmmm ... I wouldn't fancy doing a nearly 200 mile round trip tbh. But you could always pay on the door and come down for the goings on's. Should be a good day I'd imagine if the weather holds out.

[Scribbles]

If I decide to come home for the bank holiday weekend then I'll probably go just for the show and stand.

[saxo_ron]

Scribbles car looks sweet !!!

(cant wait for my wheel !!)

[Ge0_Ge]

Looking Good bud, should make the 200 trip lol, it should be a good laugh if weather holds.

[Ferg]

Do it matey ... Not sure if i'm going on track myself atm.

[Scribbles]

Liam-westcoast did a photoshop for me and I saw this german nana on 106oc which has made my wheel decision final 15" Ultralegs are the future.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/Ultraleg-Chop.jpg

He's rolling 17s but they should look even better in 15s.

Had the same problem with the boss, The mountney one wouldn't go down far enough, I'm to impatient so ordered an OMP one from RD and it fits :)
Got to see about getting a refund for the other.

[Scribbles]

I think I'll just sort out an OMP boss then and await a refund. Seems like the best way about it.

[Alex]

The OMP one looks better, unless the correct mountney ones are different in style.

[Ferg]

That photoshop looks amazing mate. Seriously got to do that.

[Scribbles]

Fitted my OMP exhaust yesterday loving it already.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/01052009038.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/01052009037.jpg

Fitted the Raceland and green filter the other week, made a bracket at work to hold up the power steering fluid. Engine bay is pretty scummy and the cam covers need painting and resealing as they're weeping a bit. I'll probably sort it out over summer.
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/DSC01720.jpg

The steering wheel is going on Monday got hold of a Momo boss.

[naturally_dizzy]

Car looks great, you've made some great personal touches to it!
Go for the Ultraleg alloys! they look savage on it!
Are your calipers red already? If not defo do that too! Or yellow even?

[Andy_VT]

*slap* yellow car ! looks awesome m8, and the color well suits the car..

[jimbo06]

The cars coming along nicely pal! whats next?

[Scribbles]

Thanks guys, next is a Raceland manifold, then it'll be 15" wheels so I can fit bigger brakes, was looking for some 4 pots that fitted under 14s but there's not much choice and whats about is expensive. May settle for some 266s but want 4 pots really. I'll probably get some strut braces on at some point too.

[Scribbles]

Little update today.

The wheel is on after a bit of boss machining to clear the housing.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/11052009042.jpg

Interior needs a clean up, but a big cleaning session prior to PPC is in order. Will eventually get round to making a vid of the OMP.

[Ferg]

She looks awesome!

[AlexB]

will see you at ppc then man

wheel looks pretty good

[Rob-6]

looks really nice wheel looks good!

[Roj]

looks awesome. best colour by far!

[Matt67]

Lovely motor mate

Thanks for the comments, I've got a Raceland manifold now (pics up later) just need to get a new gasket and fit it. Is there anything else I should replace while i'm at it?

[Scribbles]

Got this Raceland mani to go on now, waiting for a gasket and a few other bits first.

Looks very nice mate, heat wrapping it?

[Scribbles]

Thought about heat wrapping it but I'm still undecided, won't be fitting it till next weekend so I'll think about it some more.

[sammys]

Liam-westcoast did a photoshop for me and I saw this german nana on 106oc which has made my wheel decision final 15" Ultralegs are the future.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/My%20GTI/Ultraleg-Chop.jpg

He's rolling 17s but they should look even better in 15s.

hey, this is Steve's car, right those are 17" but then you need a rare 185/35ZR17 tyres.

The weight is not a problem, the 17" are only minimal heavier than the 16" the difference from 15" to 16" is mutch more.

looking good your car, how mutch is the Bilstein Dampers in UK?

cheers Michael

PS: I love this car too :)

I want them in 15s so I can run track tyres. I'm sure the 17s are still lighter than alot of other 15" and 16" wheels anyway.

I think I got my Bilsteins for about £350 with Faulkner springs but the price went up quite a lot to about £450-500 earlier this year.


Went to the PPC show yesterday so there's a few pics of my car floating about I'll try to put them in here.

Here's some from the convoy on the way down.

[Liam-westcoast]

looks very very nice mate

[jimbo06]

She looks well mate! whats planned after the raceland mani has been fitted then?

[dannygti]

looks great mate.
good talking to you yesterday.

[5AMBO]

love a decent gti and this is one. plans for wheels sound good too. look forward to seeing it with new wheels.

[Scribbles]

Thanks guys, was nice to meet you Danny that Westfield looked like fun.

I'm looking to sort out heat wrapping the mani, then there may be some track wheels on the way but I'm keeping what they are quiet until they're sorted. If I get them they'll be revealed at FCS.

[5AMBO]

YBRacing had one on ebay that was in the clearance as the last one in stock good price as well.



This one...

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg243/Scribbles172/Random/rw.jpg

It does look good, I did have some naughty thoughts about red VTS wheels (maybe indigo blue) which is still an option if I see a cheap set.



Had my MOT today so wouldn't have been a good idea to turn up with a decat freshly fitted, when I do fit it I'll make a vid.

only just seen this pic of red 206 wheels. I think that looks sweet!!!!

[titchster]

Them motorway pics are good... :p

Looked tidy at PPC mate, was good to have a quick chat too.

[Scribbles]

HaHa cheers for the pics, good to put some names to faces.

[DanT]

Looking really tidy mate. The OZ wheels are defo the future haha! Nice one.

[Scribbles]

A few pics from FCS just waiting for that Rob McDougall to sort out his website with pics then I should get the full lot from my track session.

Some tasters in the mean time found on the forums.

Picked up a set of OZ Superturismos 15x6.5J the other week at an absolute bargain price. Had a quick go at refurbing them but gonna get them done professionally like the ones below but with yellow decals.

Went to a RR day last weekend too made 128.6bhp @ the fly, 128lb.ft sadly no wheel figure for some reason. Still need to scan the graphs. Pretty happy with the figures seeing as they seemed pretty strict rollers and its a good increase of 8lb.ft over my standard RR readout and the tester said the AFR was pretty much spot on across the rev range and the torque curve was nice and smooth.

The wheels will look great if done similar to the snap above. They seem a matt finish in the pic?

[5AMBO]

car looks mint. the wheels sound good too. is that with yellow decals? would look ace

I think the official black ones come in matt finish, I reckon I'm gonna go satin black.

Yeah seen some yellow decals on ebay hopefully get something similar put on before they're lacquered.

[m8davem8]

yess nice m8 but change the original peugeot alloys to maybe some 306 cyclone alloys sprayed black

[Scribbles]

Don't mind cyclones but I quite like the raptors ATM.

Been a bit busy making some purchases trying to get ready for my trip to the 'ring next weekend.

Bought some R888s for the Superturismos and had them refurbed in gloss black. Sorted some new Mintex rear discs and pads just standard ones as they don't do much braking. Got some 406 Brembos these won't be on in time for the 'ring but hoping to paint them up red with some black logos, new discs and some decent pads haven't decided what yet for PPC in the Park.

Massive Update

Not updated this for a while so there's lot of pics of what I've been up to.

Since the last update I've been to the 'ring. Epic. Got Morettes. Refurbed and fitted the Brembos. Tidied up a few other bits and been on a trackday at Brands Hatch.


Nurburgring

Got my wheels ready the day before I was off. Met up with a mate a Bluewater about 3am on the way to meet the others at Dover. Way over was trouble free clear motorways most of the way stopped at a service station for a bit of lunch. Arrived at our delux chalet. Smashed in a few laps, and a session on the GP Circuit over the 5 days we were there before making our way home.

Cleaned - Morettes & Brembos

Got bored of not having anything to do and not many pics of the car on the Superleggeras so cleaned the car and went out to take some pics, used DJ Lime Prime and AG EGP on the bodywork.

Brands Hatch - Trackday

A few pics from Brands Hatch 27 July, good day out. Rained on the sighting laps and a brief shower when I was having lunch but as it was so hot it stayed dry.

Really enjoyed the circuit, very challenging. Need to build up some more confidence/bravery to brake later into Paddock Hill Bend and was just having to lift off through Surtees again need to be a bit braver to go flat out through there, just the braking at McLaren sometimes unsettled the car so didn't want to go flying off over the grass...

i love a nana gti, and morrettes and 106 gtis go together i think, a mk1 saxo it looks good if done right, and i think a mk 2 saxo with them looks terrible (apart from the odd one), but these set your car off a treat :y:

this cars been so nicely done :heart:

Good to see you enjoyed brands, Absolutely loved it there.
If your still not very confident it's worth getting the one on one tuition, I did with my day and made all the difference. Was taking surtees at 80 while cacking my pants :)

What can I say, looks bladdy lavely. Wish I owned it!

Lol at the paedo bear in the wing mirror as well.

Cheers, if I do another day there I think I will get the tuition would help a lot with lines etc. Need to give the brakes a more thorough bleed first with fresh fluid weren't quite performing to their best when hot.

looks tidy mate (:

Thanks.

Cheers, Nurburgring was about £450 all in I think, had a passenger paying for some fuel though.
