Pete Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ok, thought I'd have a bit of an update. Since getting the roof done I've took off the screen sticker, may put on another on at some point, got my standard bathursts shot blasted and powder coated black to go with the roof....Loop2 by Turbopete, on FlickrThen I've since had to go with a new set of coilies so with Al's (AwesomeGTI Al)help I made the switch to weitec and left it raised a bit for now, sent my Mono's away for refacing, and today whilst sorting a ABS fault(hopefully anyways)I got round to fitting my g60 brakes, still need em cleaning up and painting but gonna do all four at the same time, and I had to get my new head unit fitted before I ran out of time so just a couple of pics of the upgrade with a cheeky glimpse of my weitecs.

Newnesie Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Looking smart! G60 brakes a good upgrade? Feel much different?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cheers newy, I've not had the need to use em yet TBH, only fitted em this afternoon! Sure when they're needed they'll do a good job, back end is stripped out anyway so not so much weight to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Cars looking nice mate, you know your Weitecs have you had to take the adjuster out at the back to get it low because mine are wound right down and it doesn't seem to be that low.

Pete Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Not slammed it yet mate, gonna wait for the 1st show I'm in with the monos on, I'd imagine like most coilovers though you'll have to whip em out to get really low, just don't expect any warranty to be honoured though!

Brammo Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Yeah, I will probably just end up leaving mine in as it does sit nice as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Man i still miss this car! What happened to the old silverlines on there? Glad to see its still looking great, i think i would cry if someone had it and wrecked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 The o/s/f one failed big time matey, so stuck a set of weitecs on, got a few bodywork issues that are really doing my head in but can't afford to get them sorted, I have an old work mate who does bodywork who did an awesome job on my old car, but I'm gonna have to see if we can come to some sort of arrangement, getting the monos freshly faced, taking out the black centers and bringing them up to the same finish and leaving the outer parts black, not seen any other ones like it so will make a nice change. Need to sort a bit of stance too, get a bit of camber and space them out, but it all takes money! But yeah I'm happy with how it's looking, and managing to keep on top of the general health of it!

Pete Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Finally got enough money together to get my monos stripped back and a fresh set of skins for them so got them put on today! What ya think?!Needs to sit down a bit front and rear but that pic was as it came off the jack, so no doubt it will sit slightly lower once it's been down the road.

Skezza Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Why don't you edit the OP to include both? Very intrigued btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well my silver one is no more so I figured it'd be a nice tribute to it to revive this thread so it can be remembered once more in its former glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 That's a mighty big hammer you used whilst fitting those brakes.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Wheels were so stuck tight on the hubs, so a block of wood and a big tappy stick was required rich, you know my pain I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Probably Pete, as it will show the work that went into the car and keep the silver one in our memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Ok, so I got a big bug for lupo's with my first gti, above, and just for reference I shan't be going into any serious details about its demise as its not a conversation I really wanna go into, it still doesn't sit well with me. So from the last update I had bigger brakes and polished monos, let's look at that a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 And from then on after some time and a nasty experience with a speed bump I decided I needed to get air before doing some serious damage to my undercarriage, so with a deal made I headed over to derby and switched suspension with Piers...
