True. Will I need the standard filter then when I throttle body it then matey.
What sort of figures would you say mine was running with the mods that's on it now?

vts-dave · 19th April 2011, 22:02

have you looked into throttle boddies properly yet? sounds as if you have a little reading up to do buddy, they get rid of the whole standard inlet system altogether,

Whats your spec just now?

ldavies · 19th April 2011, 22:06

Cool ye it's currently got:
Magnex double tail pipe
Supersprint race pipe de catted
4 2 1 miltek manifold
Green cotton filter

Also found some paper work out saying the flywheel had been grinded so I presume it's been lightened and balanced if that would make much difference.

vts-dave · 19th April 2011, 22:09

should see around 130-140 with that kind of mods on a good strong engine,

Just a lil update not much really.
Finally got round to spraying the covers on the rear windows as they were really dull.

Before

After

Only sprayed them today so will laquer them tomorow and get them back on the car on monday.

Lil pic of the window caps now sprayed and fitted on the car.
Sure loads have done this by now, just thought i would tidy them up a bit.

ldavies · 24th April 2011, 19:17

Still in 2 minds wether i should spray the front pug badge.
Opinions needed

ldavies · 30th April 2011, 18:43

Well thought the front speakers had been uprated until i took the covers off today and found these, lol.

look standard to me aswell as crap and look like they have been in there forever.

So went straight out and got these.

And a pic of them fitted

No more yellow lol.

tbh they look like posi blue in this pic, they certainly dont seem to match your car colour at all

ldavies · 30th April 2011, 20:58

Cheers mate ye I like the colour that's the main reason I wanted this car when I saw it.
Mark now has the covers that he should be re doing next week.
Prob not a exact colour as car but look close enough so I'm happy with it, beats the yellow lol.

Lil update bought an original 106 gti battery cover to tidy the bay up more.
Seem to be rare now and also bought a top mount as one of my screws is snapped by a previous owner.
Just waiting for them to be posted out to me.

Next on my list will be to order cat cams next month.

ldavies · 2nd May 2011, 11:54

Heres a pic of the battery cover the seller emailed me, just waiting to recieve it.

And with the weather looking good thought i woulg get the car cleaned.

Heres a pic of underneath the bonnet, dosent look like its been touched in a while.

Before:

After:

And a few more snaps of the car:

All comments welcome.

Some people Like it but some don't.
Guess it's just one of those things either you hate it or love it lol.
IMO I think it does look better than before when it was sprayed in satin black.
