AJP's Build - back in love with the GTI
Paradox1:
Your car looks spot on. Im glad your happy with the new coilovers.
If you havent already, its well worth getting front a rear anti rollbars. They truly do handle like its on rails. the turn in is even more direct.

Thanks mate
Yeah ARBs are on the long list of things to do. Will probably look at sorting the wishbone bushes too, either an ALK or TT/S3 bush.
Slowly but surely it's coming together.

I forgot you had a "Should I stay or should I go now...." thread. I'm glad you've bonded with the old girl again :smiley:
All your mods are working out great by the sounds of it, which is also cool :happy2:

Not sure what condition your current bushes are in but if there not causing a problem or are badly worn I wouldnt bother. imi so pleased with my car with the way it handles im not going to bother with wishbone bushes until they need replacing or start to affect the way the car hands.
Just enjoy the car how it is now.

Thanks pal. Yeah I had a wobble, but persevered, and here we are! I decided to make it my build thread
Fingers crossed, yes, it's becoming the car I envisioned when I bought it a couple of years ago. Still a long way to go, but I'm happy with the current progress.
Main jobs next are more maintenance than fun and games - service, thermostat, fuel filter and a general checkover. Might get the oil pickup checked for peace of mind.
If I get all the pipework I need for the DV relocation in time I'll get that done too while it's in.
Then it's those cosmetic bits, and hopefully a trouble-free summer.
