Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Gary: 106 GTI

the juddery jolty thing i got in mine when me n jim cleaned my engine, ended up bein water in the dizzy, wiped and dried it out and it worked fine

back to the subject tho, car looks sweet mate, great choice!

yeah i will do mate (as soon as its fixed)

Seen 140mph yet mate? i hear they can do that? down a hill?

lol i wont even go over 110 at the mo, i wana get used to the car and i dont think id go that fast anyway tbh, i like to keep my licence!

couple of newish pics i took after i cleaned it but before i broke it!

apparently off the clock is possible on these well the vts anyway!!! a good friend told me!!! he said he done on the m53 on the downhill by the upton exit going wallasey way!!!

I dont do anymore than 90 (kph honest) around the wirral as it is all too closed in. On the m6 and m74 tho traffic flows at around 95 and when its quiet i like to give it a spurt.

engine is fixed, did it myself which was the best thing even though it ended up costin me quite abit!
just orderd a chrome manifold cover from spec R and just bought some engine cleaning stuff so thats my weekend plans!
what colour do i do the engine, cars yellow so what colour would look good in the bay?

chrome, black or yellow

im goin chrome anyway but i need another colour to add to the colour scheme i think

black

red and chrome go for it kid, nice to meet ya the other night at the rock btw

chrome and yellow, if you put blue, red, green, or any other colour in there it'll just look kinda stupid as it wont match anything

when i got my car my engine bay was REALLY filthy so i thought 'best part of a gti so ill clean it'.

heres a before pic that a took a week'ish ago, and it is rotten



then i got some CD2 spray from halfrauds and it works suprisingly well,
spray first can on, that brakes all crap down, then wipe with wet cloth/spray with water, then leave to dry then spray on second can which brightens it all up. i also took apart my induction kit and gave that a good clean aswel as cleaning bonnet and loads of plastic parts. and here are the results after 2ish hours worth of work.



only part letting it down now is the rocker cover which will soon be chromed or powder coated (dont know which one yet), and ive got a Spec R manifold cover in chrome on the way aswel, thanks to adam for helping, and ben (kinda)

very nice m89y!!!!!spray it yelllow same as the car itll look better every1 always cromes id go 4 that in yellow then all ur pipes chrome would be sweet im thinkin of cleanen under my bonnet!!!i already sprayed under the hood and it looks 10x better
