Can A Non-Turbo Join The Fun Too?

<< < (4/4)

Cocoapuff:
So! EGR issue has been repaired - hopefully fixed for good!

Provisionally looking at the next few changes - nothing crazy but I'm thinking:

- Cherry Hazard Switch

- LED Reverse Light
- Also need some additions to my detailing products - namely some soft bristle brushes and a new Lambswool washmitt (mine has started shedding!)

Cocoapuff:
Right so been a while since I've had any updates - most of my plans have been on hold with Christmas coming up.

The past few weeks have resulted in a very dirty Golf (motorway driving and B-roads in the wet) haven't been kind. However, finally got some time yesterday so clean her up. Just did a pre-rinse / soak, usual two bucket method wash and dried. No polishing (didn't have time unfortunately).

See the before / after shots!








And a 50/50 (ish) shot on of the wheels:


Now that she was looking half presentable, did a mini-roadtrip with the RX-8 friend. Little lap of Surrey Hills / Box Hill area, in some of the thickest fog I've ever seen! Pics below..





And one of my favourite shots:

Nice car mate, would defo agree that ED30/R32 Rear lights would look amazing - I did it a few months ago and cheapest way I could do it was to go ECP for outer units (around £33.50 a side) and then ebay for the inners from europe and swapping the inner lenses around (few threads about regarding this) all in came to about £130-£140 iirc for brand new units all round. For some weird reason they didn't stock the inner whenI looked - might not still be the case though.

From South-West London too (Carshalton), shame there aren't as many meets around here as there seem to be in other parts of the country.  :sad1:

Cocoapuff:
Thanks for the feedback gman. I wish the ED30/R32 rear light mod wasn't so expensive! Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll have to look into it. Just got the rear pads & discs done and the brake fluid flushes so that set me back a little bit!

Nice to have someone else from around this way! And yes, shame there's not many meets this side. Do you have a build thread?

Cocoapuff:
Welp, today is the day I plucked up the courage to put her for sale!
