Fitch_Gti Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 yo! Been on here for a while but never posted anything so thought id show you my loop! Its a 2001 Flash red Gti 5 speed Ive had for around 2 years now, I bought it with 42,000 miles and its now got just over 65,000. When I bought the car it was completely standard but things Ive done so far are; kw v1 coilovers, bmc cda with cold air feed, janspeed cat back, head unit, de wipered rear and 15mm rear spacers. Ive also kept it pretty clean! At the moment I am currently building a set of BBS rs' and have also just got a ported and polished cylinder head and a set of re profiled cams that should all be on the car in the new year! I work for a VW and Audi specialist in Thornton cleveleys in Blackpool called Volksworkshop so most of the work is being done there, give us a like on facebook if your into your VWs or are from the area and need a service or any work doing to your car! Heres a few more photos off my phone on bits Im doing at the moment, dont know what the quality will be like but hope they are ok! Ill try to keep this thread as up to date as possible!

Silver! Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Nice progress. Massive editing to see the pic's; it's the IMG tags you need from photobucket. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitch_Gti Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 thanks guys!Yeah just clocked the img tag thing on the photobucket app so next time it should be fine! At the moment im just waiting for a wider set of lips to arrive from germany then the wheels are going to be fully ceramic polished and Im currently gathering all the replacables I need to fit the head!Im replacing both cam shaft bolts for the cams including the washers for the inlet cam, valve stem seals and guides, head gasket, cambelt and tensioners, waterpump, aux belt, painted the rocker cover, new ht leads and plugs, inlet and exhaust gaskets, both camshaft oil seals and finally (I dont think ive missed anything) exhaust manifold and cat/de cat.Ive already had the head skimmed and also the valve seats ground, last week I started lapping the valves before i fit the new guides and seals.As ive said ill try and keep you all updated as much as possible!A couple more for good luck, hope they work this time!
