Black on black TT

Hey,

I want to show you my tt project.

My name is Peter, and 33 years old. I live in the netherlands (europe).

After some nice projects (golf 2 golf3) it is now time for an audi TT!

Old cars:
golf 2 (more than 15 years owner now)

Golf 3 (sold)

http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4036515


So here is my audi TT:
Black, 132kw fwd 1999. all stock and the previous owner was a lady..

Reason i decided to buy a front wheel drive is the distance i travel every day. Gas prices in this country are to high $ 9.20 USD for a gallon)

Bought it stock.


Result after 1 year




In this topic i will update my changes on the car. Hope you like it.

So i updated all post because the photo's on photobucket didn't work anymore:(

I finaly placed my k&n filter without airbox:p

I like the suction sound! Also my blow off valve is so much louder now. People on the street are watching like a earoplane is coming over hihi
I made a custom bracket to mount the filter to the maf. It's without rubber haha (pic to come.)

Super Clean!

Question though, how big of a PITA was the boost gauge install? I don't want to lose my vent but I need to be able to monitor boost now that I'm chipped.

Oh also, what was the part number for the license plate lights? one of my tabs broke so I need to replace that one!

Yes that hardware kit is very nice. 42draft is much to expensive ($100)

good idea.

@TTpower
The intake polish cost me almost nothing, only time.
It took me about 12 hours to complete it like this.

It's important to work from rough to fine. Most time i spend on sanding especially the little corners.
I sanded it from p80 to p1500 in steps of 300.
At last i used a polish machine with polish paste to create this. hope this helps you!

Here some pics of my custom made intake pipe as promised

I used durafix to solder the brackets to the pipe

need your help

How to unscrew the rear panels? I tried today but i can't take them off. Is there a system what i need to know?

Busy with the audio upgrade. Front speakers are replaced with better ones from pioneer, back needs to be done;)
Installed a big woofer and a 5 channel amplifier now.

Edit: Solved the problem already after research on the net. It's all click.

thanks!

So i started with my next project: Polish the valve cover:p

It will be allot of work to get it shiny. But i am motivated, and i think i will finish it in 3 days:cool:

here a first pic of it. Sanded all with 150 grid.



Also did some modifications on the vacuum hoses, with as result a lower fuel consumption. I drive daily 150km (100miles) with the car and gasprices are killing me. Spend every month over the 600 euro only on gas:rolleyes:. So a good update i think.

Short shifter

Hello,

New small update for the TT. I made a short shifter for her.

I installed it and it feels so different. I don't now if i like the short side to side movement.
But the forward /backward movement is much shorter and feels so good.

I cut the stock brackets and welded it all back together.

I started with this:


and the result:

there was a company called diesel geek a long time ago that was very popular that made short shift kits that looked very similar in design to that. simple and effective. i had a bit of experience with them. they were great for a while. then after some time got notchy and over time more and more notchy eventually it got annoying.

keep us updated if it gets annoying and you dont like it

Today i replaced my front strut bushing.

As mentioned i replaced them with seat cupra R which are much stronger.
First impression: Drives much better, the difference is so much. Reason why i did this job: sometimes on bad roads the front suspension was knocking / rumbling
I recommend it to do this update.

The differences, left the new one, on the right the old:p dimensions are the same.


And under the bonnet: Left the old and right the new ones.
