new mk1 1.8t project

[SpoolinJetta18T]

Geat job!!!!!!!!!!

[otti]

thanks for supporting our littl team with the nice words and tech knowlege everyone!
my friends sended me a pic of how the sideskirts gonna look like
remember my words: 16´s look perfect if one keeps the flares
sideskirts and big bumpers....

they need to wait to install them until the car comes of the lift
because the car is already so low that it would be impossible to get the lifter arms out from under the car

[ejg3855]

i was wondering if you could go into more detail on motor mounting?

your suggestions and then what you did ?

thanks

[otti]

send pm back to you.

2005 1.8t gti ???
ahh you meant a polo gti now i get it

[otti]

my friends send me the pics from today!
the doors are back from the painters,yay!


they build the adapter for the turned intake manifold as well!

now thw piping for intercooler starts i would like to do it myself so badly
the electrics beginn to look better i heard
i need another vacation!
i dont get one at the moment
its good to have friends

[otti]

good things happened!
ebay brougt me the bigger mirrors and my bro painted them supergood in nice flatblack. they got mounted together with all the other parts that belong to the doors. seals, windows, the door mechanism and the chrome locks went on smoothly!

as you can see im not having any locks that can be bothered by thiefs with skrewdrivers. that is the only electronic feature on my car..
back on with the doorcards and the new and shiney cranks, i just love it

they gonna be stored until all electric works properly so that they dont get damaged in the progress

Car is INSANE!!!! Cant wait to see it done

[otti]

thanks, im still unshure if i am going to put on the rally stripes all around the car. im shure i like it, just not shure if it would be overkill.
any input??

just something i mocked up with white tape

[vwovw]

Looks great. do a photochop with the stripes on a complete picture.
heres a old one of mine. house of color blue. 18" wheels. i bought it and sold it this way.

[808Bora]

IMO, I wouldn't do the stipe, but hey it's your car bro.....

[jtsolinsky]

literally the crappiest photoshop i've ever don.. but i didn't have much to work with.. and i'm in no way a pro but i hope you get the general idea.

[syracusegli]

how low? any more? i've got a while to fool with this for you.. do you have any pics of the car with the bumper or fenders on it? that would look SO much better.

[otti]

unfortunately i dont have pics with anything installed since there is not more installed at the moment. the hight of the stripes seems about right. so what do you think?? yes or no

[speeding-g60]

me, for my car, no stripes.... i love the blue color solid.... not too big on the stripes. keep it solid...

agreed...the paint is so nice leave it solid

[speeding-g60]

and i am basing my opinion on the fact that it took me awhile to realize the trim was shaved... the color distracted me...

[vwovw]

here's a side view p chop this. all blue this way.

[jtsolinsky]

[whtknightgdhart]

just my opinion but... I think it would look better with the GTI stripes just on the side not on the bumpers

[jtsolinsky]

well i have to study for a couple exams. but maybe i'll be back on and pshopping some. we'll see

[otti]

lol good pshop and you made my 16´s to 18´s without any $$$

hell yeah! today we got real progress
my bro got buisy with the flares (they where really beat up after 28 years of gti´in)



the finished product is better than new

since i am a pipe fitter, i finished the intercooler piping!!



as you can see i really like silicone
we trimmed the engine cover to fit the changed manifold


we installed the circut breaker as well

i am very happy and look forward to start the engine hopefully on monday.
the fenders and the missing engine cover will come from the painters on monday so we have to do other stuff first.
tomorrow we will try to get the roofliner done and assemble the handbrake.
a last pic of the engine bay to go....
