craiGTi's ph2 GTi

[craiGTi]

cheers mate, may be a job on the list then - the last thing i need is more overheating :lol:

 

[steadyrolling]

solved the abs warning light problem, the sensor cable had come loose from the bracket and snapped clean in 2! anyone got one i can have?! lol although it looks like it'll be a bitch to undo - rusted to fook.

When I needed a new one, Shaggy was offering me one of his that had been cut off 4in from the hub, so maybe yours could be reconnected, and re-insulated? If not, Joe's a fookin chancer

couple of little changes, one in particular serious bling, probably put me at 200whp ...

That's right, HKS filter AND rad cap! :lol:

Sounds nice but haven't tested the filter properly yet - and as much as i love the hot weather i'm fed up of it sappin the power from me!

Also, dunno if anyone has any ideas, i have developed a slight miss or hesitance - only at high revs when driving hard, just a momentary blip then pulls fine. It seems to only happen in the middle of the day when it's hot, not as bad if at all in the colder nights.

might adjust my tps again, that's been the cause a couple of times, just the heat thing confused me a bit...

all you need now is a nuneaton meet and you will be on the sex god register

 

[Corbalicious]

Or, depending on how the evening goes, the sex offenders register.

 

[craiGTi]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

i'm confused though, who said the 2 things were mutually exclusive?

 

[Corbalicious]

Sex god offender?

Or

Sex offender god?

 

[stufagti]

i dunno what tommo will have to say about this,

i think youll have to settle with sex offender god :lol:

 

[craiGTi]

^ haha, s'pose it's only fair


ooh, just had a delivery...

FTO twinpots £80 delivered, which seemed good to me, postage wouldn't be cheap they weigh shit loads! and look in pretty decent nick, although i'll still strip em n paint em and new seals etc.

and the spacers stu gave me a while back, think they'll come in handy for spacing the discs out slightly like they'll need doing.

Just get stupid exam out the way tomorrow and i can get to it

 

[craiGTi]

not much of an update, kinda good and bad

blingy HT leads

interior stripped, will be cleaned and sprayed matt black

feels all lively handling wise, love it - weight loss not done though...

and so for the bad....after stripping everythin i went to undo the seatbelt bolts and remove seatbelts, a few turns of the passenger side rear mount bolt and this happened...

whole section of metal with bolt nice and tightly rusted in there came straight out! :lol: couldn't believe it, sills are fairly mint, thought inner arches would be too, but no! So will be gettin that patched, plated, welded, undersealed, covered in cheese and chewing gum and sprayed in 17 layers of paint promptly. The seams around the other side inner arch are goin too, so a bit of weldin to be done, oh well.

Not as bad as my old sunny GTi went and that was easy fixed so not too worried.

Have a reason to not be able to put the rear seats back in now too :lol:

another one who thinks he can beat the VE by stripping it out :lol: jokes

good man, stripped FTW, bad news on the rust though gorgeous, makes me appreciate how clean mine is hehe

with this strippage and power mods you need to get to shakeys i think boyo

 

[raycer]

aw bummer for the hole

 

[Hopelessness]

Rust is lighter than carbon fibre, a big gaping hole is lighter still! No biggy is it really, at least it's not a hole in a vital engine gasket
