nice to see someone having a go at modding the 1.9 engine, i have had a look but as you confirmed, its big bucks to go 200+bhp
very nice car though mate :happy2: love how clean you keep it!

Thanks pal glad you enjoyed it. Yeah get a thread up I would like to take a look :smiley:
It's worth breaking the 200bhp barrier definately, on a stock car Darkside would do it for around £2000+clutch+injectors, so to double your stock BHP it's not really that much in terms of £s per horsepower.. you could do it for less but it would be awkward in terms of finding parts, fitting them etc.
Yeah I am quite OCD haha :surprised:

Replacement gearbox FINALLY ORDERED.. Hopefully here by Wednesday latest and then fitted by the end of the week.
Then will get on the hunt for a swap/replacement GTI.

Something I kept quiet because I was embarrassed, when I detailed the car and was putting the wheels on I had the door open and as I'm an idiot I caught the door with the torque wrench and gashed the lower sectioni about an inch and a half long.
I wasn't too annoyed as I knew I would just get it repaired professionally, but my buddy Stuart let me use his touch up kit and this is the result.
Before
After
I will still have it professionally done but for now at least it's presentable.
JoeDarKa:
Is it the little vw touch up kit? Iv got some stone chips to sort out on mine, any tips?
rf860:
Wow! You've done some amount to this car. Credit to u for it.
Don't mean to pick but is that rust on ur sills where the wings meets? Might be worth trying to get it done under warranty from vw.
