  1. we removed one from a 106 gti we uopgraded the brakes to black diamond and fitted bd pads as well also replaced all hoses and fitted goodridge. i have driven it and the brakes feel mental on it hold on and it did skid but was controllable :D
  2. replace the electric windows with manaul ones remove spare wheel (tyre weld is very cheap) remove boot carpet remove sound deadning from under the carpets still has oem looks while saving weight remove air con remove abs pump stopping is for losers lol carbon bonnet carbon boot lid this would save a small bit of weight while keeping the inside factory looking
  3. aint you afraid it might blend to well into the car and you wont find it again? o/j bud looks sweet
  4. if i was doing it i would buy a cheap sand blaster seen them for less than 30 uk pounds :D you will need primer and i always do a light sanding between coats when i spray anything with 1200 grit laquer will help protect the paint and its defo easier to remove the tyre :) BUT WHY ORANGE? lol
  5. hmmm check the lines and see if theres anything there if you get really stuck give us a shout and i can have a look as your only 30 miles away :D but wont be until after gti international though :(
  6. firstly where you based if your localish ill have a look ;) firstly has it got alarm/imboliser? have you tested for a spark? if not rip a spark plug out plug into a lead and hold (using rubber handled pliers onto a head bolt) and turn engine over if its sparking could be fuel pump. remove one of the fuel lines (assuming itsaearly 16v) from the air box the fuel lines have the larger bolt holding them on and fell if theres any fuel there if a small bit. get a small can put the fuel line in there and turn the ignition on this will tell you if the fuel pump is priming. just a few things to test lol also check for blown fuses
  7. could just be a bulb gone :D if so halfords will do a replacement if you find the buld is missing and once fitted the abs light stays on in means you have a fault somewhere
  8. thats a real shame the car looked lovely but the main thing is you are ok and the car at the end off the day is just a car :(
  9. i think the only subframes are the side mount ones that keeps the seats the same height :( as said before the subframes plus the seats will make it even higher than the standard mk2 ones

    there wont be any harm but might cause excessive strain on the rubber pipe thats not been replaced so make sure the rubber ones are in top condition as you dont want 1 to burst
