pads and discs are now fitted and working well, i didnt groove them but they didnt really need it. ive just bought a k&n replacement filter for it, and its booked in for a service friday im having the usal oil filter plugs and fuel filter done, k&n fitted (free of charge) and also im going to get the brake fluid changed. im also on the look out for a starter motor as mine is whining.

my starter has been making the whiring noise since i have had it, but its getting to me now so i want to replace it. Is the gti starter specific or can i use one off a non gti lupo? cheers for your help.

ive got to admit ive really caught the bug with this car. it gets so much attension. ive had a bit of a spend up, ive bought a brand new lower front bumper of ebay, never fitted in primer so when the weather gets a bit better i will get that sprayed up and fit it. ive also been to GSF today and bought brand new pagid pads and zimmerman discs all round, im going to take these into my work and mill some grooves into them so i have grooved discs all round. im also trying to source some gti wheels and i think i have found a set.

i have found time around building my mini to give the car a good clean all over now. i havr just won a brand new lower bumper on ebay, which i will get sprayed and fit sometime soon. im also going to fit new pads and discs all round this weekend if i get a chance. and ive just been generally driving about loving it!

they were done when he bought the car.

i will get some of the golf up, it did look hard!

not got a clue about the offset, they are standard golf ones but banded. i think a set of g60 steelies would be a better choice!

got bored today so borrowed my mates wheels of his golf

just wondered if it was anyone on here, i was in the red gti and came and spoke to you.

yeah it was the lads dad that was selling it, he was lending it to his son. im might just leave it as is for a while now, it is getting loads of attention where ever i go, and the ladies love it

just thought id put up some pictures of my gti. i bought it from the editior of PVW and it was also used in track and race car magazine as a long term test car. its the car used for the buyers guide they did. ive just washed and polished it so its looking a bit better. so far i have changed the side lights to white leds and bought a new gti badge. ive just taken the rear trim out of the car as the rear washer wasnt working, i did a bit of investigating and found the rear pipe had come apart in the rear quarter so when i was spraying it was filling the rear wing up. but its all fixed and dried out now! future palns arent much as its just a daily drive, (im building a 200+bhp 16v turbo mini track day car in my spare time) i want to fit the standard rear badges and change the black vw badges for chrome ones buy a set of standard wheels wind the coilovers down fit a bonnet bra and get the lower bumper panel re sprayed oh and get to all the shows in the summer

guess about 100000 is the answere. if its only 500 the car will still be cheap then.

bolloxs thats whats i thoght. the 100000 mile bargain not such a bargain then!

oh i didnt realise that about the clutch. no it happens when its warm aswell. at first i thought it was my driving but now im getting worried its a problem with the car.

hi im having a slight problem with a crunchy 1st gear, sometimes the gear doesnt want to engage properly and other times its fine. could this be the padal box or something worse? its a gti 6 speed

oh sorry jon i ment to say that to lovelydubly as his name is jon. but any way i like the british open, those sunroofs are awsome!

picked my gti up yesterday and i absolutely love it! the mini is a bit special. thought you guys would be a fan of the 10x7" 3 piece split rims! when you getting your lupo then jon?

cool i hope so. be nice to have a car that starts in the mornings and has a heather that works lol!
