GAZ3256 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Hi folks, im fairly new to the site and just bought my GTI a month ago.Ive not had a chance to give it a good clean yet but thought id post some pic. Last pic shows my rolling road graph from last thursday with 128.8 bhp. Not bad for just having a BMC air box.

db Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Looks like a nice example, one from in the club as it has CL stickers on it, although i don't recognise it off the top of my head. I presume it has an aftermarket back box at least jusdging by the tailpipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 yes its a powerflow backbox, the car came with it, im trying to get a standard one for it. put the stickers on when i got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Oh right, i see. As for the back box, i'm not entirely sure that you can get it on it's own. I think it only comes as a full system from vw, so second hand is the only way i can think of you getting one. What spec is it? Oh and it looks really clean to me, you should see mine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) My brother works for VW and priced a back box alone and it was over £200 so it would have to be second hand but im thinking of another after market one but similar to the standard one.Im going to see my local powerflow specialist this week to see about changing just the tail pipe to a twin. As for being clean,its got a long way to go, I like my cars to be immaculate but its clean enough for now.Its not got any extras apart from side airbags which I dont think are standard spec.

drummachine Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Very nice car there my friend.Heres a backbox for you: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volkswagen-Lupo-Gti-...1QQcmdZViewItemYour powerflow exhaust, is it loud when under normal driving or loud almost all the time? Reason is im looking at getting one in the not too distant future..... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Cheers mate.Its just a back box but sounds great.Its not that loud sitting at idle it isnt even really that loud normal driving just when you put your foot down. Its perfect for me because I dont like it to be loud all the time. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 That engine bay is immaculate mate, it looks amazing. What did you use to clean it? What make silicon hose is that? Samco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ3256 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 That engine bay is immaculate mate, it looks amazing. What did you use to clean it? What make silicon hose is that? Samco?No im not sure what make it is.It came with the BMC, its definitly not samco. I just used plastic detailer for the plastics and rubber, canuba wax fo the painted areas, brake cleaner on the leads and I gave the manifold heat shield and rocker cover a good clean up with autosol chrome cleaner and some steel wool.

Adam Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 (edited) It looks good mate, where did you order the bmc from? And it came with the silicone hose in the kit? Have you just got a oil breather filter on the end of the crank case pipe? Cheers Edited January 27, 2007 by Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 welcome aboard mate! car is stunning! can't beat a silver gti! hehe!!the silicon hose is a proper BMC hose, as i ordered one and it came throught the same as that.

GAZ3256 Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I ordered the BMC through a place called Motac. Cost me an extra £15 for the hose.Well worth it though, saves the hassle of finding your own one that fits. Plus the red one really suits the lupo engine.Im going to get a red strut brace next I think.Oh and yes ive got a red pipercross breather filter,I didnt have it fitted in the photo though.

TJenkos Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 GTi looks awesome! How come you want to change back to standard exhaust? That one looks awesome and suits it to the top style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
