GTI suspension will be put in on Monday and ARB and GTI front Brakes to go on in the future. I will post more pics as i go.

Looks good, what else is planned?

Looking good :happy2:

Well I saw a thread about putting the injectors and turbo from a CR170 and with a remap it should take it up to around 200hp (has anyone done this or seen it done?) but after chatting with one of the guys from Darkside today I've decided to go for a big turbo, manifold, dpf delete and exhaust so i will hopefully be able to keep up with some of you guys :p
Other than that my priority is brakes and suspension. I'm putting GTI suspension and ARB's on, hopefully by Monday then I will find some GTI brakes and fit them ( if anyone has any let me know please)
I do over 20k a year so can't mess around too much with it as i need some fuel economy.
-
Some pictures of the front end taken today. I've decided to paint the strip on the grille blue, calipers blue and paint the engine cover silver and blue. Hopefully get it done next weekend.

Very nice Jetta! So glad there is more Jetta's about now. Still rare though :)
-
Welcome Tank, glad to see another silver Jetta on here :happy2:
Also good to see your removing chrome!
200 bhp should be nice :grin:

Looks good, nice mods so far What did you do with the chrome foglight surrounds?! :wink:

if your doing a brake up grade i would be lookins at the r32 of s3 set up instead with the engine mods you have in mind
-
Nice jetta! Where di you get a the rear spoiler? and how does it attach lol?
-
Unfortunately i binned them as they were stuck on so well, I had to break them to get them off.
Today I managed to fit the new rear springs and got the front shocks out before realising i don't have the right tools to get the bolt on top off, and anywhere that could sell something to do it is closed.
Does anyone know what the best tools for it is? (without spending a fortune on the VW tool) I was thinking http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silverline-10-21mm-Dogbone-Wrench-Box-Spanners-Mechanical-Engineering-Tools-DIY-/300833619468?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item460b14be0c then putting the 7mm allen key through it.

I got it from ebay, Ready painted and it has 3M tape that just sticks it on. Very easy to do.

I think thats the one i got.
-

I looked into it but from what I'm told s3 brakes wont fit under 17's so its £500 for the brakes then the same again at least for new wheels, but i could get the gti brakes with yellow stuff pads for between £200 to £300.
The other problem is that i need the brakes done very soon as the remap has made it too much for the little 288 brakes to handle and i get some serious fade after enthusiastic driving.

Seen as the sun was out today I thought i would do a bit of painting on the car. I did the front lip, grill surround and engine bay. Still got a bit to do, but but I'll finish it tomorrow.

Love the lower skirt ....would like to do mine like that ...did you paint it yourself ?
sent using my own fingers
-
Looks good mate! Just a rattle can?
-
Yeah painted it myself with a few cans. If you are planning to paint it, I would get a thick filler primer and give it plenty of coats until its smooth. I left the texture in and although it looks alright, it's not that great close up.
-
Nice to see another Jetta on here - 312mm brakes off a GTi are a good start on the brakes (same calipers & pads) just need 312mm discs and different carriers.
200bhp is easily do-able! I'm upto 185 on a PD140 with just a map!
Good luck with the mods!
-
Very nice job on the parts!
Blue actually works on the silver car :happy2:
If you ever want to sell your mudflaps let me know!!

Hey bud. S3 stoppers do fit under 17s. I would not bother with the upgrade to 312s and instead go straight to the S3/R32 units.
I have 17 x 7.5 ET56 at the front and have around 10mm caliper to wheel on the side, about 15mm rear spoke to caliper, and about 4mm caliper to wheel weight.
You can see a pic here (https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/901687_513026085400697_145637121_o.jpg) and here (http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/2448/img0947xl.jpg)
Car is coming along nicely bud, hoping to see some good progress. Not sure on tuning of the CRs, the PD140s eat turbos so you need to watch out on them, hopefully the CR ones are a bit stronger! If it has a DPF get that removed and it'll feel like a whole new car along side a remap!
-
Im going upto 312mm brakes as they are a cheap upgrade compared to r32/s3 brakes. Only need the carriers and new discs. Got mine for £100ish
-
Right now I'm a bit tight up for cash as had to do a DSG service, one tyre, tax and insurance in one month so I think I will just go for GTI brakes for the time being.
I will wait until i can find a cheap pair of S3 brakes as its easy enough to sell the GTI brakes at what I got them for.
I did get the bargain of the century last week though. GTI front and back anti roll bar with bushes for a fiver :)

I'm still in shock about that one. I know its only 1 or 2 mm thicker but every little helps.

I got the spray cans out today again.
Removed the rear bumper.

I used high build primer and gave it 3 thick coats. Then i sanded it down starting with 400 grain sand paper going up until al the texture was taken out. This is the result.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fz375%2FJohnTankTaylor%2FIMAG0165.jpg&hash=41d9c32940c8da97388147b3bddc061a174a0772)
Then i gave it 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of lacquer. A little tip is to heat up the lacquer before you spray it to make it go on smoothly.

All i need to do is buff it up tomorrow and re fit it and hopefully it will look great.

Doesn't look like a bad finish at all there mate! It's all in the prep lol you seem to have done a nice job! :drinking: :drinking:
The Jetta looks weird without a rear bumper sort of like a transformer :signLOL:

You are a brave man Tank, do you even have a spray booth?
Cant wait to see it back on the car :happy2:
-
Hope its a good match!
-
Don't have a spray booth but I have a kitchen that is in need of decoration :smiley: and it really needs decorating now. The primer that was in the air has clung to finger prints on things and it looks like CSI have been round dusting for prints.
I've held it against the car and it looks bang on match.
I'll get a photo up in a few days. I'm just trying to sort out my Dad's Jag after someone hit it. Need a new rear bumper, boot and some work doing to the rear wing
-
Sorry it's taken me a while to get pics of this up but here we go.

I'm going to give the car a good detailing tomorrow so i will take some close up pics then.
Whats the best way to make the tow bar bracket look good? I use it quite often so its not like i can just take it off and tuck it underneath.

Nice colour coding job!!!!! :happy2:
Maybe something like this as a removable colour coded cover?

The less sticky out the better obv, unless you want the drag racer look with a sticky out trailing arm :/
-
Hmm, to me that colour looks miles off. It will never lay right especially from cans rather than HVLP but still, you'll almost never get a good colour match on silver! :sad1: :sad1:
Still looks like a quality job. :happy2:
-
The colour is pretty close its just the way the light hits it. I'll get some pics done with a proper camera instead of my phone and it should look better
It still looks better than black plastic anyway.
-
For a rattle can job it looks good Tank and at that angle the colour match looks very close. :happy2:
What are you doing with your mud flaps? I would be interested at the right price.
-
Sorry Stan but I'm keeping the mudguards on.
I installed the sound system the day I got the car but I will just post a few pics to show you what I've got.

I can't fault this unit at all. It has pretty much every feature ever put into a DVD player and it cost £180.

I tapped in to the bar on the fuse box, so on the right are the connections for my amp and reversing sensors.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fz375%2FJohnTankTaylor%2FIMAG0338.jpg&hash=4da9476775446848b210aedfde05d9524cd5995b)
This is the best pic i can get of the amp as it is tucked right under the seat and a pain to get out. Its an Alpine M350. When the seat is in its normal position it can't be seen at all. I have run a switch into the under seat drawer so i can turn the amp off if i need to.

I used Van Damme 2.5mm speaker cable from the amp to the sub and put gold plated banana plugs on the end so i can take my sub out very easily.

The box is from an old fusion sub and really needs replacing but this may take time as its pretty low on the priority list.
The speaker is an Infinity 1000w.
Installing the reversing camera was the biggest ball ache of the lot but in the end i got the cables in properly. The camera is next to the number plate light and cant be seen from most angles.

excellent job tank

Car is looking really good and I'm impressed with your painting skills as it looks a good match to me :happy2:

I just got it off ebay. It seems to do the job well though

not a bad install - I've just upgraded the sub & amp in mine recently (an accident with a curtain pole and my old sub caused a few swear words!)
Just fit a toggle switch into the remote line and fit it in the centre console in one of the blanks?

Sorry to hijack tread but stan I have mudflaps for sale pm me

I've finally got around to sorting the rear anti roll bar. I've just started working in a local garage, so its nice to be able to get my car up on ramps to work on it. It didn't take long at all to sort out.

Looking tidy ...bet that will make a difference

Yeah a huge difference. It feels like the back end is on rails.
Got the front ARB and front springs to be fitted on Thursday. Friday prepping and detailing the car. Saturday is the opening of our new garage, then Inters on Sunday.
It's gonna be a fun week.

You on a stand on sunday ? I'm on tdi sport club stand on the sunday .

I'm not sure yet, I'll probably decide on the day. It just depends how our open day goes and if i can be arsed setting off at 6am. Are you taking the estate or the Jetta?
Any convoys from Manchester on the Sunday?

Taking the golf ...

Front springs and ARB are now on. Managed to do both springs and the arb in about 6 hours so not bad to say I'm still a novice.
Here are a few pics of it all done. DPF delete and GTI front brakes coming soon.

Is it just a straight fit the gti roll bar ? And whats the difference between the gti bars ? Are they thicker or solid ?
sent using my own fingers
-
Yeah just a straight fit. Got them off ebay for a tenner and they had the bushes already on. They are either 2 or 3 mm thicker, cant remember exactly but its just tightened up the car. I would really recommend it to anyone that doesn't have a gti.
-
Might have to then on my golf variant ...not sure what size mine are in relation to the gti but as mine is built on jetta platform I'm guessing its the same as jetta

Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Mad busy with work, but just bought some Monzas and they are going in for a refurb next week. I was thinking gunmetal face with a sort of denim blue for the insides. What do you guys think?

Neat idea Tank, get someone to photoshop the idea into reality

Very sexy Jetta, Tank :drool: Liking the work you're doing to it and what you have planned. I look forward to the updates :grin:
-
Looking good mate. One question though, where did you wire the light up from the camera for the number plate lights? I tried installing one a while a go but gave up trying to wire the light up :(
-
Hey Dan, My reversing camera looked like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/woo-For-MAGOTAN-JETTA-POLO-SUPERB-PASSAT-CC-Reversing-Rear-View-Backup-Camera-/121212913862?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c38da48c6 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/woo-For-MAGOTAN-JETTA-POLO-SUPERB-PASSAT-CC-Reversing-Rear-View-Backup-Camera-/121212913862?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c38da48c6) So i just chopped the wires on the back of the old light and soldered them on to the red and black wires on the camera. Only took a few seconds.
-
I painted all my Calipers last week but I don't like the silver so will be going blue to match my grille. Also I did the "Mufflerectomy" and welded in steel tube instead of the Middle box and silencer. Its not really made the car much louder and you can feel the slight gain in hp. I was going to take a photo of it but my welding is shocking and I'm a little embarrassed to post it.

Looking good :happy2:
-
Thanks mate. I'll have to take another look. I was trying to solder my two wires to the metal plates the original bulb connects to in the boot lid Haha. Calipers are looking good by the way and I'm sure you're welding isn't that bad, as long as it's all strong it's all good :D

Just got sent a preview of my alloys, I'm getting excited now. Hopefully they will be ready tomorrow.

Aghhhhhhhh. Alloys sorted. Come to fit them and turns out my hub is 5x120 not 5x112 that the new ones were. I'm absolutely gutted. On the upside time for some X5 wheels I think.
-
Why are your hubs 5x120 not 5x112. Literally the only EVER mk5 to have that :chicken:
-
I know mate. I'm gutted. I've never heard of it either. I think someone was having a laugh when building my car.
-
Eh
Your hubs are 5x120?????

I literally don't believe you... Like Really? :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

I've measured from edge to edge on the nut and it's just over 7 cm. 7 x 1.7012 is 120. Measured the new wheels and they are 112.
I've put my old wheels back on now otherwise I would show you with a tape.
-
Sure the wheels arent 5x100 your trying to put on?
-
I've measured them and they are stamped 5 x 112 so I don't think so no.
-
What wheels were you using before you tried to put on the monzas? :confused:
-
Thats seriously wierd! Unless your hubs have been replaced with the wrong pcd ones?
According to the net pcd measrements should be taken from the middle of the nuts/holes.
-
That's the strangest thing i've heard :laugh:. I'd get that checked out.
-
Good to see another jetta on the scene!
-
Hi mate - Your Jetta looked great at the meet yesterday :happy2: I think you may have measured your PCD wrong though. You have got the standard classix wheels on, which are 5x112. So your PCD must be 5x112 :smiley:
-
Cheers mate, so did yours. Yeah i know they are but at the time the new wheels said 5x112 and it doesn't say the size on the classix so I measured it and must have got mixed up. Luckily I have already sold them and going to buy a new turbo instead now, I think.
-
Haha no probs. Oooo a new standard turbo? Or bigger? :happy2:
-
The turbo off the cr170 then dpf delete and mapped by darkside. That with my straight through should give a nice 220 bhp and a shed load of torque, maybe more but I want a safe map as it's a daily driver.

Ahh right. Yours a DSG? It'll sound awesome and go great! :happy2:
-
Yeah it is DSG, is yours? What's the next plans for your Jetta?
-
Nope - Mines a manual pd140. Non dpf etc. Well i'm having a custom turbo back exhaust system in just over a week. Then i'm hoping to try and get some new wheels and stuff. Just depends on cash :happy2:
-
These were the alloys I was going to put on but it turns out even though they were stamped 5x112 they were 5x100. I've now sold them to a mate with an Ibiza.

We went to the Ultimate car cruise 2 last week. It wasn't bad at all, really good turn out. My mates played a practical joke on me and hid my badge. Cheers boys

Had a look at a few Golf MK1 cabs but none did it for me, this makes me feel 17 and driving my first car again. I completely love it. I'm keeping the Jetta but putting a hold to any mods to it until i get the 3i up to scratch. She needs a lot of work to get her running well, but it will be worth it in the end.
I know I'm a traitor and turned to the dark side but it is so good to drive, I don't care.

My baby :love: Thanks for the pic mate :happy2:
