JapGunn Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very nice job, just wondering how much the seats cost for them to be re-upholstered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Quick! Swap for an air'd gti?! It's quite quiet tho grant, was expecting more bwaaaaaaah!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantmax Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Quick! Swap for an air'd gti?! It's quite quiet tho grant, was expecting more bwaaaaaaah!!haha, tempting pm me some pics! .... it has a lupo backbox thats why its quiet. funds havent been in my favour on this build but that should be sorted next month so ill have a bit more "bwaaahh" and it will be quicker as the backbox will restrict the airflow.stay tuned though!

Mattz341 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 How does she handle? I'm thinking of doing this with my black sport next year! But then it got me thinking that it'll just be like a red top corsa on handling :/ and I love the handling on the current set up!

grantmax Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 How does she handle? I'm thinking of doing this with my black sport next year! But then it got me thinking that it'll just be like a red top corsa on handling :/ and I love the handling on the current set up! (1.4 sport) as it stands its not too bad!however once I have had a chance to sort the exhaust and buy some new wheels I will be getting a new lower ARB from awesome GTI as I have been told the differences are immense.You obviously get a fair amount of under steer if you put your foot down a bit heavily on a corner although that is to be excepted, however an LSD would help that! all in all the power is what makes the difference not the weight of the engine.New exhaust & wheels should be coming in the next couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantmax Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 exhaust is on. will get another vid up asap. had a great day yesterday at prept show down. couple of pics: Steves mk1 - won of the best of show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
