Plans:
Coilovers
18" Alloys
Remap
Bracing
Uprated Anti roll bars
RNS 510 dab or RNS 315 Dab
New steering wheel
Unfortunately before this happens I need to repay some money I borrowed from bank of mum and dad as I have a new kitchen to pay for :sad1:
Cheers :happy2:
-
Welcome :happy2: It's good to have another Jetta on here :grin: Look forward to seeing what you do to it.
-
Welcome mate :). As Shane said, always good to see more Jettas :D
-
Cheers Guys, it will be a slow process :smiley:
-
So what coilovers would people recommend? Never used them before as had lowering springs on the toledo.
Starting to do my research but don't want to part with more than £500 when the time comes to buy some.
-
For that price I'd recommend some Apex RDX if you're wanting something that handles good and goes low. Or Some AP coilovers if you're not bothered about major lows but want something that's going to be comfy. I'm actually going for some Apex as soon as I have the cash :). I'm currently on Fk Streets and they go really low but are quite harsh to be fair.
-
Thanks for the info I'm not fussed about mega lows its more about handling with comfort :happy2: 40 - 50mm max would do me
-
Welcome to the slippery slope of modding, after only 1 week you have a list.
I was running on B12 kit and just had the RDX's fitted and its a lovely ride and I'm on 18's
Roof bars & tow bar, do you feel you need more storage?
Looking forward to seeing where this goes
-
Welcome mate, sounds like you have good plans for this & great colour choice. :happy2:
-
Stanipkiss I run a kayak group so once a month during summer periods I have 12 kayaks on / attached to my car. As well as running other trailers about (WWW.KEWPADDLERS.CO.UK) sorry admin if not allowed to put this link up :happy2:
After cleaning it on Sunday it's also in need of a proper detail as I cannot to be bothered to spend the am punt of time it needs machine polishing it to get the swirls out :(
I did find the AP ones for £433 :) and from what I've seen the rdx ones take me over budget
-
RDX's can be had here for £462 :)

Ah i see, I fitted a witter detachable swan neck towbar last year as I tow a trailer tent.
Call Damian @DPM he sold me mine for £455 inc postage.
-
Tow bar got fitted a few weeks ago pretty pleased with how discreet it is. Mrs bought me some 18" Zenith wheels today from a chap on briskoda I did have to contribute some money towards them. Wheels are an early birthday present as its my 25th in a few weeks :) Tyres were shot on the old wheels so needed to put them on :happy2:

Does need lowering but think that could be looking at next year with needing the cambelt and DSG service later this year.
-
Looking good :happy2:

Anyone know all the part numbers for the complete plastic battery cover? I have the clothe cover at the minute and want to replace it.
-
:happy2:

Not much is happening but thought I would do a small update.
Did LED Conversion on the interior but need two more for the foot well lights.

And by far the most exciting addition to the car you will ever see......another bag hook for the boot lol

I was going to spray the centre of the engine cover due to the condition of it but after spending a while scrubbing it I think it came up fairly well so not going to bother just yet.

Im booked in at AKS Tuning for Cambelt, DSG, and standard service in September I was hoping to possible have it lowered by now but Im waiting to find out if I'm being made redundant which really doesn't help things with car insurance next month as well.

Looking good man :happy2:

Went to AKS Tuning for stage 1 Revo map today :driver: just need to get it lowered as well now
-
Hi mate, does the air vent work? Does it separate the air that would normally come out of the centre two vents?
-
Yeah works a treat, on 0 air comes out front normal two vents, Middle comes outs both just about and fully on just the top :happy2:
-
Top vent is one of the nicest cheapest mods for the interior :happy2:
How are you getting on with the map?
-
Map is great have been dying to get it done since I bought it as my last car was mapped. Found it drives a lot smoother with less effort now :happy2: Haven't really had chance to give it full beans much but did have a play with a mk6 GTD and from that I think it is running close to REVO's top quoted figure of 185. Hoping for improved MPG when driving normally as doing 300+ miles a week.
-
Love my PD140 Jetta after the map - made just over 187bhp on the rollers. Am currently looking into the dash vent....
Any other big plans??

Yeah need to get it on the rollers next time there is a charity day or something.
Plans yes; Lowered, RNS315 or 510, Highline Cluster, Wheel spacers and thats it. May consider a bit more power at some point but not that fussed about how quick it is.

I have always thought of mapping mine but not sure with the mileage that I do, around 600 miles a week and currently on 172500. Careful you don't go to low or your wear through the inside of the fronts like I do, oh and having to raise the rear on mine to tow our trailer tent :surprised:

Wont be going massively low as im not a slammed fan. Will be 30 - 40mm max plus towing will be an issue for me aswell if I got to low. My Toledo was dropped 30mm and was fine for towing.

RNS 315 DAB with Bluetooth arrived last night so fitted it in the dark because I couldn't wait lol

DAB works a treat along with NAV and BLUETOOTH but need a mic which I've ordered from Eddie-NL.
Oh and i got to the bottom of my dash rattle. When I fitted the GTI top vent I left two screws out. These are now back in lol
-
Fitted Mic, GPS and DAB Aerial into the roof this evening.

Also had to change a side light bulb for the first time in this car. Pain in the arse had to take the airbox out to get enough room to get my hand in!
Since then have been away on holiday to Chamonix, car was faultless first time I had done this trip in this car so really pleased with it.
