sexybourbon 0 Posted January 24, 2011 headlining was retrimmed by me and a mate one night after work as i couldnt get it clean enough or find a good nick one so got some matariel and advice of lilfuzzer after meeting him at ccgb meet in the summer stripped the old cloth off and bought new from dunelm its like fake leather but you cant tell seeing as tho its above your head i also stripped the interior light and cleaned it all up then sprayed it satin black as i didnt have the money for new black ones theres a few pics mid stages and complete with all the sunvisors in and everthing i thaught it came out well and still now its not sagged or anything and the black spray is still all good its actually hard to scratch it wich is a bonus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted January 24, 2011 thats about it for now i fitted a few bits and pieces the other day front pads and new injectors and a pas belt , i would have been able to do the back pads asweal but the passenger side is weeping ever so slightly from the piston seal so gonna get a new one ordered soon hopefully other than that im looking forward to going dow to dg auto this weekend to get my jetex exhaust fitted and the car chipped and set up properly should be more to come soon ill have forgotten something :?

sexybourbon 0 Posted January 31, 2011 so iv been to dg autotech weekend just gone to get a full jetex exhaust system wich im really happy with just got to get they new hangers fitted as dave told me it was a right mix and match under there !! i thaught id go to the stealers to get them as they wouldnt be to expensive and for the two middle silencer hangers it was 3.50 each but for the two rear silencers hangers it was 18.50 each lol so i opted for some euro carparts ones instead for 2.50 just have to get them fitted also had the chip for the 16v whilst there and i have to admit it feels alot better much more responsive when putting your foot down and now actually feels quite quick when you go for it , its definatly not as jerky and lumpy thats for shure il stick a few pics of the jetex when i have a chance without using the poo i phone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted March 14, 2011 from marshals thread; DG would have checked the mixture when they set it up, how'd you know its running rich? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sexybourbon 0 Posted May 16, 2011 just fitted the new grill i bought on impulse from ebay managed to colour code it yesterday not sure if i like it tbh its a bit marmite i think all comments welcome im sure most will dislike it also while im here managed to get it through mot wich i was really happy about , it got a few advisorys tho cough cough ...... windscreen wipers lol and a tailgate bulb and worn front wishbone bushes but i already have the powerflex bushes to go in just got to get them done in the next few weeks and finally got the drivers door lock sorted after it decided to lock shut lol it was a pain in the arse to get open but got there in the end and now have a nice opening and shutting door again , so no more starsky and hutch type entrys and exits haha anyway thats all for now here is the new grill anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted June 21, 2011 so some more updated to log down iv taken a trip down to banded steels to get the arches rolled wich im happy about as its not rubbing any more ! id planned on upgrading the brakes to g60 ones but that flew out the window when rob g60 put his up for sale wich i cant resist so these will hopefully be on the car soon there of a seat ibiza cupra r so im exired to have brakes that work . also managed to get it through another m.o.t , and have been busy replacing alot of the front end suspension components mostly with genuine vag parts , so the list is powerflexed front wishbones , new drop links ,new antirollbar links , drivers ball joint and tie rod and aslo got all new bolts from the dealers to go with everything that was replaced and the car has been tracked . it feels so much better now much more responsive and sharper round the bends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted September 23, 2013 dude after reading your comment on that other thread i have had a look through your build, liking all your movements.. on the subject of power gains... have you looked into a SS Fanimold yet? and high lift cams? also iridium spark plugs, IG leads, also a Cold air fed intake? few things to consider.... also maybe i missed it somewhere.. but is this a vr6? i thought it was but saw a reference to u getting a valver chip?
