[adrian13]

your tdi loooks amazing! its awesome seeing the process of from what your car was to what it is..i think ill need to make my own thread soon nice work jamie

[jamie88]

Thanks man. Gonna do a few more things before Uni starts. Colour code the door handles. Fit a gti rear valance with stainless tips and get the cat and muffler removed. Timing belt is due soon too

[adrian13]

hey jamie hows the build going ? Just installed my projector lamps with angel eyes..getting around to making a build threadd ! BTW over the weekend went to Newcastle with the fam...thinking of going again soon with my girlfriend to take some shots of the car and hang out at the beach, would love to meet up (:

[jamie88]

yeah id be down for a meet up man. let me know when! could probably get a few others together too. what part of sydney are you from? i have a plan that would help my build along, ill pm you.

as for the build I've only got a couple more things to do, most of them simple cheap but time consuming.

i need to get a gti valance picked up from sydney, paint it myself, then take it to an exhaust place get them to cut the cat and muffler out and make up tips for the valance.

I'm going to paint my door handles silver,

pull the wheels off, and restore and paint them gunmetal or matte black.

do an egr delete, and get the revo software retuned with the carbonio, decat, and egr delete.

then I'm afraid the golf will receive no more mods,

Awww, no turbo or injector (and or nozzle) upgrade?

How are you going to do the EGR delete?

Save your money with the carbonio unless you just want to hear the intake more

[jamie88]

no nozzles or turbo
the car has 220km on it, so not going to spend 3k on a turbo and 1k on injectors on an engine that age.
just gonna cruise, im driving about 100k 5 days a week now,
so the ks are just gonna keep rackin

I've dropped the carbonio idea. Pro vent has found another spot. I'm going to get the darkside egr delete pipe. And get my revo dealer to code out the check engine light. I just looked into nozzles and I might head down that path too. Only about 400 bucks and a weekend by the looks of it. Might be worth doing. I'd be best doing nozzles and egr delete at the same time so I only need one retune.

I've ordered the dark side kit myself. Probably didn't need to though as blocking plates would have worked fine. You can even just ask your tuner to make the EGR function at bare minimum.

Have you had a crack at cleaning your egr/asv/intake? That's my next job...

[jamie88]

egr and asv have been cleaned/ replaced in the last 20km did the asv a couple of weeks ago and the egr is still very clean.
i can't remember i think i did get the tuner to code out the egr as much as he could.

id still like to kill it completely though.
the part is only like 150 bucks anyway
