what you reckon to these then? good bad or ugly? excuse the shit picture, my camera phone is getting a bit worse for wear...

They just look like any other used spark plug. White on tip is usually a healthy sign, no abnormal combustion issues.

 

[tommo]

that'll do me, cheers pal

definitely noticed a difference with the panel filter and a different intake hose, the standard stuff is quite restrictive. biggest gains are in the manifold though dude, i know its only a 1400 but its worth it

ta dude

On a serious note, the rear spats look ace. I was this close ( shows index finger and thumb really close together) to buying some impreza spats for the gti before my respray but they would've required 'modification' so i left them alone. Now these have come up

 

[shaggy_master]

Sweet boss, but your car is CRYING out for the Rear wiper mod!!

 

[tommo]

cant be arsed to be blunt dude lol

besides, its FUCKIN JDM TYT3 y0 lol

*awaits abuse*

 

[shaggy_master]

Plus its an easy 5min mod!

I remember I did my rear wiper mod using only a screwdriver and a cable tie. Tommo, you lazy boy!

 

[GTi kurt]

non-rear wiper mod ftw

 

[Simcard]

no rear wiper ftw

the only thing that annoys me about the mod is with the yellow crimp method, it isnt a tight fit so the arm "slumps" i.e. you can wobble it lol, i tryed a different method by removing the motor and turning the wheel so the original bush could be used, all went well until you turn it on because there is a "home" switch and the only way to sort this would be to remove the shaft but theres no way to hold it back in place so a new bush needs making if you want the wiper solid.

 

[mattmera]

Yeah i personally wouldn't do it.

 

[tommo]

keepin it for the remainder of this yr so added some bling kick plates, removed my fuckin mad tyte yo jdm stickers off the front and poked and prodded the rear arches to see how bad they are.

turns out that the rear arch rust of doom isnt that bad. the panel that rots is just spotted to the panel and framework that holds the belts reels in. no worries of the panel ripping apart so gonna leave it as it is for now and get the gti seats in next week.

also, my mrs thinks this is sad

i love my car, i cant help it lol

 

[CFN_MAC]

I love the cup lol

Kick plates look good to was thinking about doing that as well

but first need to get the parts from my old door from corbs sick of everyone complaining they cant wind the window down lol
